The history of Mus is the history of a plain, a great bowl of fertile land in eastern Anatolia that has fed armies, empires, and civilizations for thousands of years.

The history of Mus is the history of a plain, a great bowl of fertile land in eastern Anatolia that has fed armies, empires, and civilizations for thousands of years.

Mus sits at the center of one of the least visited regions of Turkey, which means the day trips from this quiet provincial capital lead into landscapes and history that most travelers never see.

The food of Mus is the food of the eastern Anatolian plain: lamb, wheat, dough, dairy, and honey, made with patience and served with generosity.

Mus is not a city of boutique hotels and rooftop bars, and that is precisely what makes it attractive.

Mus is eastern Anatolia’s quiet heart, a provincial capital spread across one of the country’s most fertile plains and watched over by a castle hill.

Mus is the sort of city that surprises travelers who expect eastern Anatolia to be either dramatic or difficult. It is neither.
