The Karçal Mountains in Turkey's northeastern province of Artvin come alive each fall as a palette of reds and yellows infuses the typically verdant landscape. Nature and photography enthusiasts come to the region every year to capture the season's glory and find a natural form of therapeutic renewal. Top spots for visitors include the Heba Plateau in Borçka, and the villages of Aşağı Koyuncu, Yukarı Koyuncu and Yavuzköy in Şavşat. Villagers and farmers from time to time extend extraordinary hospitality to visitors by hosting them in their homes.
