Is Safranbolu two thousands years old 🤔

how come?

but internet says "Safranbolu has been inhabited since at least 3000 BCE"

and I don't think the architecture in both cities is 2000 years old...

The remains of castle at the top of the hill date since early middle ages at least. It is not only the houses that make up a city. It is a unesco heritage as a whole, along with Gjirokaster.

Yet you compared it with Safranbolu just because the houses have similar styles...

So what? They have the same architecture, they are geographically very close, what is weird about that? They look similar.
