Places to Eat in Avanos

Jug kebab is a famous dish in Avanos. Pottery is already very developed in the region. The jug designed for the jug kebab prepared in Cappadocia has a line just below the knuckle of the jug and the meat cooked with various vegetables in wood ovens is delicious. When we hit the knuckle of the jug with a hammer, the top part breaks as a mold. It is a great flavor that you should definitely try.
