With a population of 767,848, Erzurum is a bleak, isolated outpost in eastern Turkey, enduring bitterly cold winters more akin to Russia than the Middle East. The bureaucracy is a persistent headache, with the city's Armenian population having faced massacres and deportations over the years. And while Erzurum boasts winter sports facilities, the frigid climate is exceptionally harsh for its latitude. This is a city best suited for hardy souls willing to brave the elements and red tape.
