Yörük Köyü Safranbolu

The village is worth a visit to see old Ottoman mansions. It is possible to look inside one of the mansions as well as an old wash house for a 2 TL.

Great historical site depicting Ottoman architecture..Houses as old as 200 years and still standing. Great immersion into this history.

This is a small Turkish village There are lots of beautiful wooden houses. That would be nice if you visit this places by a tour guide or ask the local to tell the culture in this village. Do not forget to visit laundry.

One of the most simple and beautiful village

Ghost city, very old buildings, 600 years ago, no people here, just dogs and cats..... And GHOOOOOSTS

Almost a hinhabitated village of 600 years with semi timbered houses for was interesting strolling around and meeting a lots of inoffensive dogs.

A pretty little village with traditional houses and an interesting old wash house. This village is more rustic than Safranbolu, with less tourists. But still worth a visit.

This village provides a good opportunity to learn how ottoman and turk people lived and continue to live in traditional and rural areas of the country. Have a walk around the streets, visit the "Wash House", the "Military Son House" and enjoy a traditional meal made by local women. Buy "şalvar" and kitchen tools made of olive-tree wood. Each and every experience worth. At the "Wash House", the former laundry building, there is a wonderful man explaining how women in the village washed their clothes, made appointment for a place to wash, tall and short women had proper place at the 12 places rock "table". There is short English description on the wall, but the man there, a real guide, is able to show you "how to" for a good understanding of those times. Then visit the "Sipahioğlu House". In fact there are 2 houses that can be visited for only 3 TL, equivalent to 0,30€. In both you can observe the clothes and furniture items. One of them has the "Family Tree" on the wall, really interesting to observe. Right next to these 2 houses, there is a "restaurant" where you can eat the famous "yaprak sarma", "gözleme", "mantı", drink some "ayran". Parking in the village is 5 TL, equivalent to 0,50€. Simple and yet rich way of living. Plenty to learn from. Enjoy the visit and keep in mind that the village closes for visitors at 21:00, local time.
