Akhalkalaki - Travel & Tourism Guide Akhalkalaki - Géorgie

It means "New City" in Georgian. Akhalkalak in Armenian. Located 30 km from the Turkish border, this military city has great geostrategic importance, settled on high plateaus. The city is not very interesting, except for a few alleys. You can use this city as a supply base. Here you are almost in Armenia. Indeed, Armenians are in the majority in this city, following waves of emigration of Christian Armenian refugees from Erzurum in Turkey and Beyazıt in the 19th century. If you plan to explore this region, it is best to have your own vehicle. The tourist infrastructure is poorly developed.
