TOURISM
Suçıktı: It is the unique natural beauty created by water coming out of the ground as a spring. Since it is located right next to the city center, it is highly respected by our citizens, especially in the summer months. Trout production facilities that are located in the area and do not spoil the natural beauty add a special feature. The taste of a meal or a drink of tea with the sound of running water tastes completely different. The area where it is located has been further enriched with children's playgrounds, souvenir sales points and a mosque. Suçıktı is also a cultural center. The "Suçıktı Poetry Evenings" event, which is held every year in July and has become a tradition, has reached national dimensions.
