Çorum is a capital of Çorum province. And it's a pretty unremarkable provincial city.

Sleep edit

About a dozen hotels exist.

  • Anvatar Termal Otel (buses from Ankara may drop you at the hotel on request as it is right next to the main road out towards Samsun). Geothermal spa hotel. Good for a relaxing soak and scrub (ask for a "kese") stopover: preferably overnight to minimize views of the road and electricity substation.
