Sazova Park and the fairy-tale castle
A castle of 26 towers, a pirate ship on a lake, a Japanese garden and a zoo — the city's weekend park, unashamedly playful.

Three hundred and fifty metres of real sea sand, a lake, an Olympic pool and sunloungers — hours from the nearest coast.
Seyitgazi and Midas City: a Phrygian Valley day
A hilltop Seljuk shrine to a legendary warrior, then a seventeen-metre temple façade the Phrygians carved into a cliff for their mother goddess.
Sivrihisar's forest of wooden columns
Sixty-seven wooden columns holding up a Seljuk mosque on the Ankara road — Eskişehir's first UNESCO World Heritage listing.
