About this Eskişehir vlog:
After a lot of fans told me to visit Eskişehir, I traveled down to take a look. This Turkish city is stunningly beautiful. Even on a mostly overcast day, I could tell that it was one of the hidden gems of Turkey. In this Turkish vlog, we do some Eskişehir sightseeing and see:
Odunpazarı
Odunpazari Modern Museum (OMM)
OMM Inn
Kurşunlu Mosque and Complex
Kurşunlu Mosque Handicraft Gallery
Kurşunlu Mosque Meerschaum Gallery
Sazova Park
Fairytale Castle
Porsuk River
Vural Sokak

I also tasted the delicious Eskişehir cuisine. I loved having Çibörek and Çay in Odunpazarı. I had to save some room for dinner and got the famous local Eskişehir food, Balaban Kebab. Both were extremely delicious.

About Eskişehir tourism:
Eskişehir, a vibrant city in northwestern Turkey, offers a unique blend of historical charm and contemporary culture, making it an increasingly popular tourist destination. Known for its young and dynamic population, largely due to Anadolu University, the city buzzes with artistic and educational energy. Tourists are drawn to the enchanting Odunpazarı district, a historical area with beautifully restored Ottoman houses, now housing an array of charming cafes, craft shops, and museums, including the remarkable Eskişehir Modern Glass Art Museum.

The Porsuk River, flowing through the city, adds to its picturesque beauty. Visitors enjoy leisurely boat tours, offering a different perspective of the city’s landscape. The riverbanks are perfect for evening strolls, lined with bustling restaurants and bars, creating a lively atmosphere.

Another highlight is Sazova Park, a wonderland for both children and adults, featuring a science center, fairy tale castle, and pirate ship. Eskişehir also serves as a gateway to nearby archaeological sites, like the ancient Phrygian Valley, making it a perfect blend of urban and historical exploration. This combination of historical allure, cultural vibrancy, and modern amenities makes Eskişehir a must-visit destination in Turkey.

About the Turkish cuisine in Eskişehir:
Eskişehir, a culinary gem in Turkey, offers a delightful blend of traditional and modern flavors. The city's cuisine is renowned for its unique specialties. One must-try is "çibörek," a crispy, deep-fried pastry filled with seasoned minced meat, a Tatar influence reflecting the city's multicultural heritage. Another local favorite is "balaban kebab," succulent meat grilled on a skewer, wrapped in lavash bread, and drenched in a tangy yogurt sauce. Vegetarians can relish "met helvası," a sweet dessert made from semolina, sugar, and pine nuts. The city's vibrant student population has also introduced a variety of international cuisines, ensuring that Eskişehir's food scene caters to all tastes, making it a paradise for food enthusiasts.
