A Few Hours in Rize Turkey: Things To Do in The City and More

Rize was more than a transit town for me. I had arrived in Rize around 11 am from Avanos. Avanos is a sister town of Göreme, where I had been for two nights and three days. Göreme is Capadoccia, the most famous location in Turkey, where you can find tourists from around the world. That is not so true for other places in Turkey.

Göreme was the only place in Turkey where I saw other Indian faces, not that I was looking for them. In Rize, there were only locals; at least, I didn’t see any tourists.

I had had a special bus experience from Avanos to Rize. But more on that in a separate article on the bus journey.
