Phrygian Valley
In the triangle of Kütahya, Afyonkarahisar and Eskişehir, the region defined as "Phrygia Epictetus" (Little Phrygia) mountainous settlement, is today known as the "Phrygian Valley". Phrygian plateaus covered with the tuffs of the Turkmen mountain, an ancient volcano from which Kütahya comes; B.C. It was inhabited by the Phrygians between 900-600 BC. At that time, open-air temples, altars and rock tombs dedicated to the Mother Goddess Kybele and many structures for defense and shelter have survived to the present day. In the churches and chapels in the region where the Romans and Byzantines settled later, root-painted crosses, inscriptions and frescoes can still be seen. There are natural castles called "Deliktaş Castle" and "Penteser Castle", which were carved into rocks by the Phrygians and Byzantines. The region is an interesting untouched and must-see region covered with pine forests as well as a natural rock structure reminiscent of Cappadocia.
