Ankara is the capital city of Turkey and the second largest city in the country after Istanbul. The population is around 3.5 million.
Ankara offers a good selection of cinemas both in Kavaklidere and Cankaya (including Atakule) and several concert halls for classical music and opera. Many Universities promote concerts and spring festivals but these are sometimes open to their students only. Folk and traditional music is very alive, from small bars and restaurants to big concert halls where you can find local stars like Musa Eroglu. Depending on your interests, you can find trekking in local parks and in the surroundings, visiting the museums or hunting for the Ottoman or Selcuk remains walking in the ancient castle. Upscale shopping centers like Armada on the Eskisehir road offer also cinemas and quality restaurants. Beypazari is famous with its traditional houses, mineral water, Bazaar and of course bakery which is called Beypazari Kurusu. It is a quite a lot for a small Anatolian town which make them tourism attraction of the area. You have to spare a weekend. You will not regret it. Ankara is a reasonably convenient place to base yourself if you want to travel Anatolia, Cappadocia or the Black Sea coast and a growing number of tour operators and related service industries are catering to tourists. There is accommodation here at all levels, with prices pegged below those of Istanbul or the south coast, and the new bus station (ASTI) is probably the most useful transport hub in Turkey with services to just about anywhere thats feasible (The Lebanon is only 16 hours away if youre feeling adventurous). |
