Spring Travel in Turkey | The Pottery Town of Avanos Citywalk

When traveling in Cappadocia, Turkey, compared to the hot air balloon and Instagram-famous town—'Göreme', I would prefer its tranquil neighbor, the pottery town—'Avanos'. / ⭕️ 'About Avanos': Avanos is located to the north of the town of Göreme, a 20-plus minute drive away, and is a famous pottery town in the central part of Cappadocia in Turkey. / ⭕️ 'Citywalk Route': Bus Station—Red River—McDonald's—Ceramic Street—Viewpoint ✔️ Red River: At the center of the town flows Turkey's longest inland river—the Red River, which boasts beautiful scenery on both banks and is home to many ducks, creating a picturesque view! Many locals also come here to feed the ducks! ✔️ McDonald's: There is a McDonald's with French architectural style by the Red River, which looks more like a small museum or art gallery, uniquely beautiful. ✔️ Ceramic Street: In the town center, there are many ceramic studios, pottery workshops, and porcelain shops, as well as cafes and guesthouses. I especially recommend buying fridge magnets and souvenirs here, as the products are exquisite and affordably priced! ✔️ Viewpoint: Walking up to the higher parts of the town, there is a small square on the hillside with an excellent viewing platform that offers a panoramic view of the entire town. / ⭕️ 'Transport Tips': You can take a minibus (with the word AVANOS in big letters) from Göreme bus station to reach Avanos town center, with one departure every hour, costing 40 Turkish Lira per person. To return, you can wait for the bus at a stop near Ceramic Street. / ⭕️ 'Travel Tips': ✔️ The town is small, making it very suitable for a Citywalk, which is really comfortable. ✔️ The cost of living in the town is much cheaper compared to Göreme, so it's recommended to shop here! ✔️ Pay attention to the bus schedule, with the last bus around six o'clock, so be mindful of your playtime.
