Local Tips

Local buses run frequently but end early in the evening; markets are great for fresh produce and traditional breads. Most locals don't speak English, so learning a few Turkish phrases is helpful.

The town is generally safe, but exercise caution at night in less populated rural outskirts. Pickpocketing is rare but keep an eye on valuables at busy market areas.
