Safranbolu is a bridge that carries centuries to the future. With its long and deep-rooted history, it is one of the rare settlements in Anatolia that has been so well preserved as a city. It is one of the most important travel routes in our country with its wooden houses, environmental texture, natural areas, canyons and delicious local food.
We decided to take advantage of the warm weather and spend the weekend with the children in Safranbolu, also known as the living museum. This beautiful historical city of Karabük province was included in the World Heritage Cities list in 1994 and managed to attract the attention of not only our country but also the whole world with its 1131 natural areas to be protected. After the restoration and renovation works, the abandoned mansions were brought back to life, and the wooden houses under protection were brought into tourism as hotels and museums.
Following these efforts, it was chosen as one of the best protected cities in the world in 2003, making the people of the region proud.
Before going into the details of our trip, I would like to add something. It was a pleasure for us to visit a place with such a beautiful story after many years with the children. We want them to grow up knowing what a colorful, diverse and beautiful country they live in. That's why these places that tell the culture and people of the lands we live in are very valuable for us.
In addition, there are no gray high-rise buildings and shopping centers in Safranbolu. It is a city of nature with its green coffee silhouette covering two slopes like a painting. That's why it's a paradise for children with its handicraft stalls, souvenir shops, Turkish delight shops, city tour golf carts and canyons!
