"Safranbolu" Safranbolu by MalenaN

Safranbolu Travel Guide: 97 reviews and 314 photos

The town of Safranbolu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a small picturesque town full of old Ottoman houses. Many of the houses have been restored and some are now pensions, so you can stay the night one of the old houses. It is a nice place to spend a day in, to walk around the narrow streets, and visit some museums and the old hamam.

Safranbolu is situated about 200 km north of Ankara.

So far there are only written tips under transport and accomodation.

    You´re making me realise that Turkey it is much, much, much more than just Istambul... when I plan a trip there, I guess you need at least one month to get aquantied of everything... by the way, some places looks just like in Spain...
