Avanos

The charming town of Avanos, on the banks of the Kizilirmak River, displays attractive vernacular architecture and is known for its and Tourism Festival where a creative and friendly atmosphere pervades.
Pottery is the most popular handicraft and it is usually possible to try your hand at making a pot in one of the many studios. Rug weaving and knotting is also making a revival. Leaving Avanos in a southerly direction you come to an interesting Seljuk caravanserai, Sarihan.
