Bitlis Merkez

Turkey

Good for those wanting to avoid crowds and experience a real small town, not for those seeking convenience or a fast pace. Best time to visit is April, when the weather is mild. Budget around 300-500 CNY. The city is small, with short travel times between areas. Must-see: Bitlis Fortress and Kaleici Old Town. Skip Bitlis Museum – few exhibits and outdated. Avoid overpaying for souvenirs in the city center.
