Tunceli

This compact town in the mountains of Eastern Anatolia, Tunceli sits on the banks of the Munzur River with cafés and restaurants concentrated in its centre. The population is predominantly Kurdish Alevi, a distinct ethno-religious community whose identity has been shaped by the region's history of autonomy and resistance to central authority — giving the town a cultural character unlike most of its neighbours in the region.
