Ayazini is a village 32 km north of Afyonkarahisar, in a valley off the Eskişehir road. The settlement, used by the Phrygians, Romans, Byzantines and Seljuks, has multistory dwellings, chapels and burial chambers carved into soft tuff rock. Rock tombs with lion reliefs and cavities running along the valley offer a rich scene for photographers. It is one of the important stops on the Phrygian Way hiking route.
