Afyonkarahisar
Turkey’s thermal capital Afyonkarahisar serves like a bridge between Aegean Region and Central Anatolia Region. This city has gained great a reputation thanks to its world known culinary culture and marble works.
The present name of the city comes from the poppy(Turkish name is afyon) that have been produced by the citizens in the region and the fortress(Turkish name is hisar) built on volcanic rocks on the city. This city which dates back to B.C. 3000, has the traces of the civizilations like Hittites, Phrygian, Roman Empire and Ottoman Empire.
Considered as the Thermal Tourism Area by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey, this city also has many caves, fairy chimneys and open-air temples. The Afyonkarahisar Castle, where the city can be panoramically viewed, was built on the top of a volcanic mountain during the Seljuk period. In addition, this mountain is the symbol of the city. Yedikapilar Monastery, Avdalas Castle, İscehisar Fairy Chimneys and Phrygian Valley have been used as settlements, temples and graves since the early ages.
Thanks to the many thermal springs in the surrounding area, the hot spring tourism has enabled Afyon to be effective in health tourism as well. Hot waters with high mineral content and mud baths, which are believed to help treat most diseases, are the most tourist attraction of the region.
