Büyük Cami
The mosque was built in 1856 AD (1272 AH) and repaired after the 1943 earthquake.
Ottoman mansion converted into a museum of local life.
This defensive position guards routes through the river valleys; it hasn't been attacked since 1300 but has been kept in good repair. It's really just a citadel wall and turrets with nothing inside. Signs say not to climb onto the walkways along the wall but there's not much else to do here.
Clean friendly place just off the main road.
Decent hotel with popular restaurant.
Comfy enough, but it's right by the main highway junction, so all night you get the thump-thump of vehicles crossing the speed bumps.
The area of interest, the old downtown and castle, is compact and walkable.
