'''Kars''', in north-eastern [[Turkey]], is the capital and largest city of the [[Kars province]] in [[Eastern Anatolia]]. The city lies within 70km of the Armenian border, which is closed and is the largest city in range of the Georgia border, which is open.
== Hitching out ==
== West towards [[Erzurum]] ==
The key to hitch-hiking out of Kars is to get to the bypass ('''E697 / D965''') that runs around the south of the city. From the corner of '''Erzurum-Kars Karayolu''' and '''A.Gaffar Okkan Blv''' you will have no problem getting a lift.
The problem is getting there however. We stayed with a local and he was able to flag down a bus for us going along Davut Aksu Cd in the centre of town. Its destination was '''şube şefligi''' a factory complex on the edge of town.
