Uşak is a western Anatolian province celebrated for its millennia-old carpet-weaving tradition, dramatic Ulubey Canyon, and a wealth of Bronze Age tumuli. Sitting at the crossroads of the Aegean and Central Anatolia, it offers a genuine off-the-beaten-path Turkish experience with thermal springs, Roman bridges, and one of Turkey's finest archaeology museums.
Uşak's food scene is deeply Anatolian: lamb, legumes, flatbreads, and dairy dominate. The city is not a gastronomic capital but has excellent value lokantalar (ready-food diners), strong breakfast culture, and good village-style gözleme. Carpet-town Eşme has its own rustic village cuisine. Seafood comes from inland rivers (trout, bass) rather than the sea.
