If you are going to Afyon, I advise you to visit this oldest mosque of the city of the 13th century. Its interior does not leave anyone indifferent. Near the mosque there is a staircase on the mountain to the city fortress, and within walking distance there are many family cafes. This city I loved and remembered, they have their own characteristic decoration of houses. I advise you to visit this historic area of peculiar and beautiful town Afyon!
