📍 About the location
Kemaliye has been a place where different cultures have lived since its foundation. Traces of this common culture are also reflected in the details. The houses located between one thousand and one shades of green formed by mulberry, walnut, plane, poplar trees offer the most beautiful examples of harmony between the natural environment and the architecture. The first thing that strikes you in Kemaliye, a small and charming town situated in a valley stretching between deep canyons, is the wooden houses and the mallets on the doors of these houses. Kemaliye houses and door knockers, which describe the history and sociological structure of Kemaliye for thousands of years, are one of the most prominent features of the city. The mountainous structure of Kemaliye provides a very convenient environment for the performing of nature sports. “International Culture and Extreme Sports Festival” is held every year in Kemaliye.
