A weekend trip down south a couple of hours, spending a
weekend with a good friend, what more could you want in the land of Poppies and
Castles? Afyon is a fairly large city in the center of Western Anatolia
(Anatolia meaning the land mass of Turkey located in the “Middle East”). Every
time I told a colleague that I was going to Afyon for the weekend, they would
laugh and ask why. Why? Because that’s where my peeps are!!
After successfully getting a bus ticket and finding the bus
stop, in a haphazard, Turk-lish, I was in Afyon, greeting and enthusiastic EJ!
Now, Afyon is a fairly large city, but it differs greatly from beloved Eskişehir.
It is about as large in land mass, but definitely lacking in population, so
Afyon was a perfect, relaxing get away.
We began with a walk to see the city, with the most amazing
Atatürk
statue ever!
Then we scaled the castle!! No, we did hike, though, and it
was a long haul!!
The sites, however, were breathtaking!!

We then walked along the old streets lined with Ottoman
homes. Oh the history!!
