About Avanos

Avanos is the most distinctive craft town in Cappadocia — a town of 13,000 inhabitants on the Kızılırmak River (the Red River, Turkey's longest river, whose distinctive red clay gives Avanos its centuries-old pottery tradition), the pottery capital of Turkey and the most important centre of traditional hand-thrown and hand-painted ceramic production in the country. Avanos's pottery workshops — concentrated along the riverside and in the cave workshops carved into the volcanic tuff hillside above the town — continue an unbroken tradition of wheel-thrown pottery using the distinctive terracotta red Kızılırmak clay that dates back to the Hittite period (c.2000 BCE), making it one of the oldest continuously practised craft traditions in Anatolia.

Avanos's most celebrated attraction is the extraordinary density of working pottery workshops (over 60 active ceramic studios open to visitors, many offering wheel-throwing lessons), the Chez Galip Hair Museum (the most bizarre museum in Turkey — an underground cave filled with locks of hair from over 16,000 women from more than 100 countries, collected by master potter Galip Körükçü since 1979, a Guinness World Record holder) and the Saratlı Underground City (8km from Avanos, one of the lesser-visited underground cities of Cappadocia, giving a more authentic experience than the crowded Derinkuyu and Kaymaklı). The town's position on the Kızılırmak River (the first major river bend visible from Göreme's fairy chimneys to the north) and its network of cave restaurants and wine cellars in the volcanic tuff make it a particularly atmospheric base for Cappadocia.

Important Transfer Information

Pottery Capital of Turkey — Oldest Craft Tradition in Anatolia: Avanos's hand-thrown pottery (using distinctive red Kızılırmak clay, a tradition continuous since the Hittite period c.2000 BCE) is the oldest continuously practised ceramic tradition in Turkey — the 60+ working pottery studios open for visitor demonstrations and lessons, the cave kilns and the Avanos Ceramic Museum give it a craft heritage of extraordinary depth and a hands-on cultural experience unique in Cappadocia.

Kızılırmak River — Turkey's Longest River Through Cappadocia: The Kızılırmak (Red River) — Turkey's longest river (1,355km, flowing from the Black Sea mountains through the Anatolian plateau to the Black Sea) — flows through Avanos, its distinctive red clay content colouring the river and providing the raw material for the town's famous pottery. The riverside promenade, the Ottoman bridge and the river views from the cave restaurants give Avanos a natural and urban character distinct from the fairy chimney landscape.

D300 Cappadocia Transfer: The transfer from Kayseri Airport to Avanos takes approximately 55 minutes via the D300 road west — slightly shorter in time than Göreme despite being a similar distance, via a more direct route.
