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!

Phrygians who is Anatolia's old and mystirious civilization, used to live in a valley which is located in Ihsaniye, AFYON .Although an increasingly popular hiking destination, it is still relatively untouched and offers spectacular Phrygian relics.The rugged terrain is exhilarating and highly photogenic. The Afyon-area ruins are the best preserved. You should come and visit this fascinating valley

Our family visited Frygia Park during the winter season. We could not miss the attention to such a historical heritage and a living monument of the past civilization. If you going on yourself car, use maps where historical objects are marked with photo, or use the guide guide. Because road signs can't give you the best route to the most interesting places. We really liked it here!
