Google Mapsコメント (10)
Rugged architecture and quiet streets, felt safe walking at night. Not many tourists, which I actually liked.
Dolmus minibuses from the Otogar to Palandoken run early and cost a fraction of a taxi, great for day trips.
Prices are lower than Istanbul, groceries and tea are cheap, but tourist spots still jack up restaurant bills a bit.
Many small museums and mosques close around 1 to 3 pm for lunch or prayer, go right after opening to avoid disappointment.
Cold, clear air and huge skies, locals were friendly. Food is hearty, gözleme and lamb everywhere, two days is enough for town.
