The path to the abandoned Jewish cemetery
  • There is an old Genoan fortress in the city.
  • Stamboli's palace is the former palace of a very wealthy tobacco merchant.
  • The Armenian church is worth seeing.
  • Most of the old town, much like the city of Odessa is filled with what used to be very large wealthy houses that have fallen into a state of total decay. You may enjoy a long walk through the city just observing the stray cats, the broad streets over grown with trees and vines or the abandoned houses.
  • In the hills on the east side of the city there is an abandoned Jewish cemetery which, though difficult to find is very interesting to see. On the way up to the cemetery you'll pass through some very poor (but safe and beautiful) neighborhoods. As you near the cemetery you'll notice that some of the houses have included the former headstones from the cemetery as decorations.
  • The city center has some great communist statues.
