The province, known also as Afyonkarahisar, is located as a gateway between
the Aegean sea and inner regions of Anatolia, locating at the crossroads
of 3 different regions of Turkey. Afyon is bordered with Konya to the east,
Usak to the west, Kutahya to the northwest, Denizli to the southwest, Burdur
to the south, Isparta to the southeast, and Eskisehir to the north. Total
area of Afyon is 14.570 square km and its elevation is 1.034 meters. The
city has a continental climate; hot and dry summers, mild and rainy springs,
cold and snowy winters.
The history of Afyon dates back to 3000 BC. It was home to Hittites, Phrygians,
Lydians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans. The
city is famous for its specific "Turkish Delight" and "Kaymak"
(a kind of hard cream put on desserts), its "Sucuk" (special spicy
sausages), its Opium fields (under strict supervision by the Government),
its marble quarries, and for its various thermal baths.
Afyon is the centre of an agricultural area and the city has a country
town feel to it (anyway it's not that big a place). There is little in the
way of bars, cafes, live music or other cultural amenities, and the standards
of education are low for a city in the west of Turkey. However Afyon Kocatepe
University opened in the 1990s and this must surely lead to improvements
eventually, although currently anyone from Afyon with a little education
will quickly migrate for job opportunities in Istanbul or Izmir.
Nowadays Afyon is known for its marble (in 2005 there were 355 marble quarries
in the province of Afyon producing high quality white stone), its sucuk
(peculiar sausages), its kaymak (meaning either cream or a white Turkish
Delight) and various handmade weavings. There is also a large cement factory.
This is a natural crossroads, the routes from Ankara to Izmir and from
Istanbul to Antalya intersect here and Afyon is a popular stopping-place
on these journeys. There are a number of well-established roadside restaurants
for travellers to breakfast on the local cuisine. Some of these places are
modern well-equipped hotels and spas; the mineral waters of Afyon are renowned
for their healing qualities. There is also a long string of roadside kiosks
selling the local Turkish delight. Afyon is also an important railroad junction
between Izmir, Konya, Ankara and Istanbul.
