Borcka and Şavşat Karagöller, the natural wonders of Artvin, hosted 140,000 people this year. Karagöller, which takes on a different beauty every season in Artvin, has been flooded with visitors this year. Borçka Karagöl Nature Park, which is one of the most important tourism centers of the city, and Karagöl Sahara National Park, located in Şavşat, which is called the Calm City, are among the indispensables of nature lovers.
The nature parks, which display dozens of shades of green in spring and summer, and yellow, orange, red and brown in autumn, resemble oil paintings with a white wedding dress in winter.
