1 day in Kütahya

---

Kütahya is the main porcelain producer of Turkey. Here are some pictures that I took in my 1 day trip with my friends. It was very nice and you'll see what I mean 😊

We were only foreigners and 1 Turkish teacher from Eskişehir. We decided to take a bus and visit this small city near Eskisehir, like 70 km away. It was a sunny summer day at the beginning ok, but soon the hot sun awoke. On the way I was so so booored...but suddenly that magnificent lake made me take a pic and add it here..heheheh...Ok...so we went to visit the huge mosque - actually we could not enter, it was not opened for the public. We saw a museum that had a lot of things connected to Christianity like crosses and paintings of different saints. Everywhere we could see shops for the porcelain products. Here is the sarting point of the Turkish porcelain. I bought a cup for myself as a memory. Me and my friends had the opportunity of visiting the old citadel, up on a huge hill from where I could see the entire city and the white mountains around. It was a great sunday to spend away from our noisy city, but after 6 hours away, I wanted to go back.

So it was....
