Visit Eskişehir, Turkey | Walk Odunpazarı Evleri, Eating Çiğ Börek, BBQ with Friends | Oh So Pom

Let's visit Eskişehir, Turkey! We'll walk around the historic district of Odunpazarı Evleri (wood market houses), try çiǧ börek, see downtown, and spend a lovely evening with friends and a BBQ. Eskişehir (Old City) is a large university city located in northwest Turkey and hosts an adorable old district known for its Ottoman-style wood houses with their distinct bay windows. These colorful houses and narrow walking streets are the perfect way to get acquainted with the city. Here you'll also find many restaurants where you can try some çiǧ börek; a stuffed pastry common throughout Turkey. The downtown of Eskişehir is a bustling place, even on a hot summer day, and is popular for the river that runs through it and the gondola rides for tourists. As a retreat from the hustle of city life, there is Sazova Park which boasts a Disney-like castle and plenty of walking paths and green space. Finally, our friends hosted us for a BBQ dinner with all the fixings. I hope you enjoy this little look into my life.

Your videos so nice to watch, why not make it a little bit much longer.

Thanks for continuing to watch! I appreciate the feedback regarding the length of the video. This time with friends distracted my filming, I suppose 😂.

Did you notice any modern shopping malls in the city? Thanks 🙏🏼

[@ohsopom]

Eskişehir is actually quite a large city. There is a big shopping street downtown that is very busy. I didn't go to any malls when there but a friend says that Espark and Vega AVM malls are popular. Thanks for watching my video. I appreciate it!
