Hattusha

The Hittite capital. Bronze Age walls, sphinx gates, rock sanctuaries. Vast in scale, sparse in visitors. An underused production gem.

Safranbolu
Black Sea Region

Safranbolu

An Ottoman town so perfectly preserved that UNESCO protects the entire city. Timber-framed mansions, cobbled bazaars, unchanged caravanserai. Looks like a film set — because nothing has changed.
