Safranbolu, an amazing city typical ottoman city. It is a city in Turkey registered in UNESCO’s world heritage list. It is 231 km from the North of Ankara, and 90 km from the West of the Black Sea. Many tourists come and go to this amazing city. I had a chance to visit it and I was amazed!
It is one of those things that you feel like pinching yourself to reassure that you are not dreaming. The atmosphere, the amazing old-styled buildings, the wonderful and melancholic small roads are really indescribable.
A very interesting thing about this city is that we can see how even in the name of the city “Safranbolu” we see the name “Safran” which actually means “saffron”, and EVERYTHING there had saffron! Starting from shampoos, turkish “kolonyas”, wet wipes, sodas, rice, turkish delights and even turkish coffee.
In the center of Safranbolu there is a coffee museum, there is the place that I had the best coffee ever!
Safran Dibek Türk Kahvesi, the best coffee that you can have, aside with a saffron turkish delight and Turkish şerbet. Even the place is amazing, just look at this amazing view!
People were also very friendly, and if you want to visit a city where you want to feel like dissociating from the world for a short period, this is definitely the place to go. Even the hotels are in these small and beautiful old styles. Definitely a place to visit and enjoy!
