This episode shows the route from Erzurum to Yusufeli. Yusufeli is a town and district of Artvin Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey. It is located on the bank of Çoruh River 104 km south-west of the city of Artvin, on the road to Erzurum. The folk music and culture is typical of the Black Sea region featuring the clarinet type zurna, a drum and bagpipes; much of the population is of Turkish ethnicity.
