Amasya

Nestled in a narrow gorge along the River Yesil, just south of the Black Sea coast, Amasya is a historical gem with origins dating back to 6500 BC. The city’s landscape is dotted with ancient cliffside tombs and a mountaintop citadel, while Ottoman-era houses and medieval mosques line its streets. Visitors can explore this rich tapestry of history, set against the backdrop of craggy mountain scenery, and experience the layers of its past through its well-preserved architecture and natural beauty.
