The Friendliest Town in Turkey | SAFRANBOLU
Рет қаралды 17,881
2 жыл бұрынSafranbolu is easily one of our most favourite places in Turkey. Taking its name from the saffron flower/spice, this charming city is famous for their traditional well preserved Ottoman Turkish houses and the entire town is in fact a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
What makes Safranbolu extra special though is the people. Turkish folk are known for their friendliness, but Safranbolu we swear have the most friendly, warm and welcoming people we've met in all our travels and that includes outside of Turkey too!
We had the most wonderful stay in Akbulut Konak and loved our time with the family who own and operate the beautiful accommodation. We communicated with our host İmam via Google translate and had many long and enjoyable conversations together that way. The Turkish breakfast prepared and served each day by Nuray was next level amazing and we became fast friends with İmam and Buket's son Boran too. We cannot recommend their accommodation in Safranbolu enough.
You can book a stay at Akbulut Konak through Booking.com (when not using a Turkey IP since it's blocked in Turkey), otherwise book through Expedia, or contact İmam directly via Gmail:

@PeterandYen 9 ай бұрын
Oh that's tough as they're completely different experiences but both wonderful places. I guess it depends on what you enjoy more though. If you're more into historical places and wandering through quiet villages, then Safranbolu is like stepping back in time. Also has some of the loveliest folk we've ever met during our travels. Cappadocia although is more touristy especially within Göreme, has the surreal landscape that can only be fully appreciated with your own eyes. Seeing the hundreds of hot air balloons taking off at sunrise too is just fantastic (even better if you're able to be on one as well) 🙂 good luck with your choice!
