【Raiders】Star and Moon Tour Turkey Tour Guide ⑨Saffron City Attraction Name:Saffron City Address:Saffron City, Karabik Province, Turkey Transportation: There are long-distance buses from Istanbul and Cappadocia Cost: Free time: Recommended reason for about two hours: Saffron City (Safranbolu) is a town in central Anatolia, Turkey, about 200 kilometers away from the capital Ankara. The Old Town's Ottoman period houses and buildings are fully preserved, including private museums, mosques, cemeteries, historic fountains, Turkish baths, clock towers, sundials and hundreds of houses, which were renovated and listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 List of productions. The city covers an area of about 1,000 square kilometers and is 485 meters above sea level. The town name is derived from the saffron and the Greek polis. Crocus was the trading and planting center of crocus in the 17th century, and the crocus is still grown in villages 22 kilometers east of crocus. ❤ In my eyes, the crocus city is the most well-preserved Ottoman town in Turkey. The red-tile roof buildings stand shoulder to shoulder, neat and small, just like the ribbons of the decoration gift box. The old town of the town is called Carsi, the area is small, the small streets and alleys are connected to each other, the cobblestone street is full of age, people like. On both sides of the small streets and alleys, there are candy shops, cobblers, handmade garment shops, coffee shops here, as if it is still the most original pattern, not because of the arrival of tourists and become crowded, tacky, market. In crocus city, what makes me unforgettable is the hotel here. Although it is only the grade of the homestay, the Ottoman scene created in the guest room quaint wooden floors, carved beams and carved ceilings, traditional closet-style bathrooms, hand-embroidered curtains, etc. are still very surprising. Like other places in Turkey, the cats and dogs here are not arrogant and not clingy. Under the favor and protection of everyone, they spend spring, autumn, winter and summer carefree. Here, walk, look, and then understand why UNESCO will be in 1994. Caffe City is listed in the World Heritage List. Practical tips1. The night market in the old city of Caffe City is more interesting and very authentic Turkish style. The hotels here are also mostly decorated or constructed in the Ottoman Turkish era, which is worth staying for one night. 2. The "Grandpa's Shop" in the crocus city sells Turkish specialties at a cheaper price. But I personally think that there is still no Grand Bazaar cheap. And the grandfather also has a T treasure store, and refuses to sell to a large purchase, hahaha! 3. The hills of Fdujk are the commanding heights of the city and you can see a pretty panoramic view of the small town.
