Traditional architecture. Old town is full of white-washed two-story houses which maintain traditional Ottoman architecture. A brief stroll deep in old town will reveal many details to architecture enthusiasts. �
Church (Kilise), (on the top of the hill overlooking old town, walk towards the streets to your left side after entering a bit deep into the old town). Built in late 1800s by a Hungarian architect after the whole town burnt down in a big fire, this church has been in disuse since 1920s, when the Greek community of the town left for Greece when a population swap was mandated between Greece and Turkey. Not cared for since then, it now ironically looks like a fire victim, although that is not the situation, as its all wooden parts such as the gate, windows, and the roof are gone, although its stone structure is still as splendid as it used to be, with crosses still visible here and there. Although it was built for the Greek Orthodox, it more resembles Protestant cathedrals of Central Europe, presumably because of the origin of its builder. There is a talk of converting it into a cultural centre for the town. �
