Buban Chimneys, the village of Oguldere is a town known mostly for the short fairy chimneys that top a number of the hills surrounding it. The brilliant green valley from the new town to the old is well worth exploring as it runs between fairy chimney-topped hills and up to the ruins of the old town where there are a couple of cave homes, natural caves, as well as pasture land full of livestock. The entire area is quite picturesque and holds some great hidden gems. Cicektepe Village Cave, Bingol is quite rich in terms of naturally formed caves. Cicektepe Village Cave is one of the rare areas that bears the marks of ancient settlements. The cave consists of two rooms and a gallery, and its walls bear the traces of the past. Kigi Castle, located in the southeastern part of the city center, is a well-preserved historical monument. The site is an attraction for tourists with its wall embellishments that resemble the medieval architecture and is waiting for you with its structure founded in the middle of steep rocks. Its proximity to the river, which is known as “Fairy Water” and the longest river in the region, gives an opportunity to visit the river as well.

When entering to Turkish bath, you leave all the hastiness of daily life outside, you exchange your clothes for a waistcloth and adorn the traditional clogs. Inside temperatures reach up to 50 degrees Celsius under the central dome of the building. This heat and humidity opens the pores of the body and extracts the fatty oils of the body in preparation for your scrub down and a massage by the attendant. After a gentle soap massage, you leave the bath place with towels and pass to resting room. Here, tea is offered to you. You leave the Turkish Bath renewed, beautiful and refreshed. After the bath we drive to King’s Daughter Castle, located in the Genc district of Bingol. It is one of the most beautiful districts of Bingol that lay on Murat Valley with its fascinating landscape.
