Tokat

Nestled within a fertile valley surrounded by the North Anatolian mountains lies the historic province of Tokat. Serving as the administrative capital with over 200,000 residents, it retains cultural heritage alongside a growing economy. Mild weather and agriculture are predominant. Surrounding Tokat, plains produce legumes, grains and livestock central to homestyle cuisines. Within the historic peninsula, an imposing 11th century fortress overlooks the old town retaining Ottoman mansions and structures like mosques adorned with delicate stonework.
