In the Footsteps of UNESCO: Divriği and Kemaliye
This special Rena Travel route invites you to discover the hidden treasures of Anatolia, where history is carved into stone. Over the course of three days, this journey immerses you in both cultural riches and breathtaking natural landscapes, uniting you with Kemaliye’s distinctive architecture and the UNESCO-recognized splendor of Divriği.

We take a step back in time in Apçağa Village, feel the pulse of nature in the Dark Canyon, walk along the Stone Road, and pause in awe at the intricate stonework of the Great Mosque of Divriği. As we sense the Seljuk spirit in the historic madrasas of Sivas, every stop on this route becomes a step through time.
