World Famous Turkish Ceramics 🎨
#wecreate 📍 Bezirhane Ceramic, Avanos, Nevsehir Turkiye
If you’re planning to visit Turkey's famed Cappadocia, make sure to stop by Bezirhane Ceramic in Avanos (Nevsehir) to buy handmade pottery or you can learn at their pottery making workshop and to make it yourself.
Avanos is very popular neighbourhood for hand painted crafts for generations of craftsmen’s with the red clay used to create their famous art. Inside the manufacture there is a workshop which showcases and teaches how to make a pottery and yes of course! you can try it with a guidance. Those delicate vibrant and bold coloured ceramics and carpets waiting to be discovered here.
What I bought? A Turkish coffee set (hand-painted)
You have options to buy printed or hand painted items. Prints are relatively cheaper if you just want to take back home little souvenir. 🫖
Prices are varied, try to haggle but be respectful ;)

Avanos is a small town in central Turkey. It is definitely not a touristy place but is very close to the open sights of Cappadocia - the most beautiful place in the region. Anyway it is a nice option for a quick stopover but you will need a car.

Spring Travel in Turkey | The Pottery Town of Avanos Citywalk
When traveling in Cappadocia, Turkey, compared to the hot air balloon and Instagram-famous town—'Göreme', I would prefer its tranquil neighbor, the pottery town—'Avanos'.
/
⭕️ 'About Avanos':
Avanos is located to the north of the town of Göreme, a 20-plus minute drive away, and is a famous pottery town in the central part of Cappadocia in Turkey.
/
⭕️ 'Citywalk Route': Bus Station—Red River—McDonald's—Ceramic Street—Viewpoint
✔️ Red River:
At the center of the town flows Turkey's longest inland river—the Red River, which boasts beautiful scenery on both banks and is home to many ducks, creating a picturesque view! Many locals also come here to feed the ducks!
✔️ McDonald's:
There is a McDonald's with French architectural style by the Red River, which looks more like a small museum or art gallery, uniquely beautiful.
✔️ Ceramic Street:
In the town center, there are many ceramic studios, pottery workshops, and porcelain shops, as well as cafes and guesthouses.
I especially recommend buying fridge magnets and souvenirs here, as the products are exquisite and affordably priced!
✔️ Viewpoint:
Walking up to the higher parts of the town, there is a small square on the hillside with an excellent viewing platform that offers a panoramic view of the entire town.
/
⭕️ 'Transport Tips':
You can take a minibus (with the word AVANOS in big letters) from Göreme bus station to reach Avanos town center, with one departure every hour, costing 40 Turkish Lira per person.
To return, you can wait for the bus at a stop near Ceramic Street.
/
⭕️ 'Travel Tips':
✔️ The town is small, making it very suitable for a Citywalk, which is really comfortable.
✔️ The cost of living in the town is much cheaper compared to Göreme, so it's recommended to shop here!
✔️ Pay attention to the bus schedule, with the last bus around six o'clock, so be mindful of your playtime.

Turkish Journey
Avanos town is located in the triangle area of the main scenic area of Cappadocia, and Turkey's longest inland river, the Red River, flows through the town center. The river water is clear, and groups of swans swim in the water. The water of the Red River is rich in iron, and the soil taken from the Red River is very suitable for making pottery, so Avanos town is famous for ceramics and is known as the hometown of ceramics. Pottery is made from the red clay in the Red River and the white clay on the mountain. We visited a local ceramic workshop to see the whole process of traditional handmade crafts such as material selection, molding, modeling, painting, glazing, and firing. Walking into the store, there are various ceramic artworks, dazzling and eye-catching, including household pottery and craft pottery. The shape of the Turkish wine pot is the most unique, and the patterns on the pottery are full of national characteristics.

Speaking of Kappa, everyone is thinking about hot air balloons, thinking of "exotic landforms", all of them are strange terrain in the wilderness.
I didn't think there was such a place with water, trees and ducks in the dusty place!
There is a ceramic factory in this place, you can make ceramics yourself. However, as a Chinese, you really dont have a cold on porcelain pottery. You are interested in fluorescence, or you are blowing along the river bank.
