Güray Müze — Attraction in Avanos

We visited Güray Müze and upon arrival received a warm and friendly welcome. The underground museum is beautifully designed as a treat in itself. We had a look through the museum and gallery that showcased historic ceramic pieces and some modern art by local artists.
