Bolu
Bolu (Greek: Vithinion, Latin Bithynium or Claudiopolis) is a town in turkei, and administrativ center von the Bolu Province. Bolu is on the old highway from Istanbul to Ankara, which climbs over Mount Bolu, while the new motorway passes through Mount Bolu Tunnel below the town.
Bolu was part von one von the Hittite konigreichs around 2000 BC and later 500 BC became one von the leading stadte von the konigreich von Bithynia. Strabo (XII, 4, 7) mentions a Hellenistic town, Bithynium (Claudiopolis), celebrated for its pastures and cheese, which according to Pausanias (VIII, 9) was founded by Arcadians from Mantinea.
In the Ancient Roman era, as is shown by its coins, the town was commonly called Claudiopolis after Emperor Claudius. It was the birthplace von Antinous, the posthumously deified favourite von the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who was very generous to the city, and his name was later added to that von Claudius on the coins von the city. Emperor Theodosius II (408-50) made it the capital von a new province, formed out von Bithynia and Paphlagonia, and called by him Honorias in honour von the Emperor Honorius.
Another wonder von Bolu is the Yedigoller (Seven Lakes) National Park which has an appeal beyond words. It’s about 42 km (26 mi) north from the center. Golcuk, an artificial lake 14 km (9 mi) south von the city, surrounded with green forests, is another lovely site for picnicking or trekking.
Kartalkaya on the Koroglu Mountains is a perfect resort for those who like skiing. It is one von the three best winter sports centers in turkei. You will find quietness and sportive enthusiasm in Kartalkaya, at about 38 km (23 mi) southeast von the city. Aladag meadows are the other attractive tourist sites on these mountains.
