Wow. You must've been amused with the Black Sea culture and stuff.
My home city is İzmir but I live near to İstanbul because of uni. About Safranbolu, it's one of the most famous towns in Turkey since it is famous with its historical houses and saffron, of course!
I'll visit there one day too.
You are always welcomed here by the way and I'm so glad that you liked Turkey.
Iskreno vaš!
