Walking sticks are one the best examples of quality woodwork Turkey has to offer. Proud of its walking stick finesse, Devrek shows them off with an annual festival.
Visitors should be able to find something to suit all ages, heights and tastes. Snakes, eagles and horses heads are favoured motifs, while the sticks are traditionally made from Cornelia or cherry wood.
Proud possessors of Devrek walking sticks include Margaret Thatcher, Francois Mitterand and George Bush. With stick in hand and a new spring in your step, explore the attractive district of Devrek, just 51 kilometres away from Zonguldak, on the Black Sea Coast.
