Guess Big villages in Turkey

A quick look at the 163 big villages you can be asked to find on the map, before you play.

Villages with enough people that locals would call them a proper town, but small enough that they rarely make the news. Ranked play starts here, since cities are too easy to be a real test.

In Turkey this set is spread across 65 different provinces, with İzmir home to the most of them (7).

How this category is defined

Place kinds on GuessTheDot are a practical grouping by population and place type for gameplay, not a legal or historical designation. A place can hold official city rights (or an old city charter) and still show up here as a village if it stayed small, and the other way around: this is a rough size ladder for guessing, not a statement about a place's official status.
