This preserved and still inhabited village is located a few miles from Safronbolu. It was settled centuries ago by the Dervish and subsequently thrived during the Ottoman Empire. Except for electricity and other modern untilities you will see the place as it has been for 150 years. Narrow stone paved alleys(streets). In the center are two Ottoman homes which can be toured and provide a wonderful insight into life of the village. The people were wonderfully friendly, especially when we stopped at a tea house and got to chat with a few of the village elders. Our visit also included seeing the old laundry house where families gathered to wash clothing on huge circular stone platform. Worth the side trip and a great adjunct to our stay in Safronbolu.
