Remarkable wooden mosque commissioned by Süleyman Bey in 1296 AD, with cedar pillars and a grand portal. Next to it is Süleyman's tomb, a medressah, and a Bedestan or cloth-market.
Central and friendly but smells of cigarette smoke.
Clean friendly place near town centre.
Town centre is compact and walkable, but you need wheels for the sights further out.
