The landscape is beautiful along the way. The first part I could see the siluette of the mountains and the full moon. As it became lighter in the morning we drove through green mountain vallys with a small river by the road. And flowers were blooming. I can't remember the flowers from last year but maybe it is like somebody told me - summer is late this year. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

It is advisable that you obtain roundtrip tickets a day in advance especially during summer, as the buses could be full. Tickets could be purchased at the mini-bus terminal beside Sivas' main otogar, costing YTL 20 for the entire trip (176 kms each way). Leave a Comment Theme: BusPhone: +90 346 226 33 10

There are regular buses to Sivas from Ankara (450 km) and Istanbul (900 km). Although various companies operate, my suggestion would be Huzur Turizm. They do have a website if you want to book in advance (but the website is in Turkish only). So, drop me a few lines if you feel like taking a bus from Ankara to Sivas and I help you. Leave a Comment

 Sivas' Ataturk Caddesi by Tijavi
It was the most convenient bus schedule I found, and there are several bus companies adjacent to Kent's ticket office on Ataturk Cad. It is recommended that you make arrangements a day in advance since the bus could be full as it's originally coming from Samsun. There is a free servis (mini-bus) from Kent's office to Amasya's otogar. Leave a Comment Theme: BusPhone: +90 358 218 1340

I absolutly didn't want to arrive in divigri and find that the last bus was full so I asked for a returnticket (gidish - dınush). The ticket was 14 000 000 TL (7 000 000 TL one way) and the the journey one way took 2,5 hours.
The senary along the road was very beautiful. First with green hills and blooming medows and later higher mountains. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Sivas offers one of the best collection of Seljuk architecture in Turkey (the other place is said to be Konya). And you don't have to go far from the city center to see most of these for most of the buildings are located in a park at the corner of Sivas' two main thoroughfares - Istasyon and Attaturk (not very original, is it?), opposite the Attaturk Congress and Ethnography Museum.
Situated in the park are the Cifte Minare Medrese (Seminary of the Twin Minarets), Sifaiye Medrese (a Medieval medical school built in 1217, making it one of the city's oldest buildings) and Buruciye Medresesi, named after the builder, Muzafer Burucerdi. True to their Seljuk roots, these buildings are characterized by their elaborate entrances and ''plain'' surrounding structure.
Aside from admiring these Seljuk pieces, Buruciye and Sifaiye have been converted to tea gardens where you could enjoy your cay in very atmospheric surroundings. There are souvenir shops, too, but I didn't pay much attention to them while I was sipping my tea with some newfound Turkish friends. Within the Sifaiye compound, you should also admire the elaborate tile work on the tomb of Izzettin Keykavus I, a Seljuk sultan who succumbed to TB in 1220. No worries, the virus should have been dead by now, so look closer at the beautiful Arabic inscriptions.

 Intricate stonework on
Ulu Cami's entrance by Tijavi,
4 more photos
Both built in 1228 by Divrigi's local emir, the adjoining buildings represent some of the boldest expressions of Seljuk architecture in all Turkey with their characteristic intricate stonework on the entrances contrasting sharply with the plain, box-like surrounding structures. The most intricate is found on the northern entrance of the Ulu Cami, which is hidden from the front entrance parking lot - so you have to walk around the complex to fully enjoy it.
It is also advisable to visit the complex during prayer times (particularly on Fridays) as both would be closed during other times, although you could try calling the numbers posted on the watchman's 'office' (small building to your left when you enter the complex).
Clearly, the place is off the tourist path and if you are lucky enough, you could be having the site all to yourself. If you come during prayer times, as I did, the locals would be all too happy to give you a tour of the place, all for free, of course. Leave a Comment Address: Divrigi, 176 kms from SivasDirections: Complex sits on a hilltop and everyone in Divrigi should be able to tell you how to get there. To get to Divrigi, follow this link.
