Safranbolu Old Houses<\/h2>\n

Maybe you have seen the pictures of an old Ottoman town\u2019s houses only a few times, but this unknown place has one of the best old towns in Turkey. Unchanged little streets with old Ottoman houses on both sides are great for a walk in Ottoman times. Plus, they have a special type of Turkish delight made of \u201csafran\u201d.<\/p>\n

Pamukkale<\/h2>\n

The name may not mean anything to you, but in Turkish it literally means \u201ccotton castle\u201d which basically says a castle made out of cotton. This name was given to the place thanks to its natural white travertines full of heathy thermal water. This magical place is one of its kind.<\/p>\n
