Yörük Köyü : Michelin's recommendations

Yörük Köyü, a smaller version of Safranbolu, has neither been granted World Heritage status nor embarked upon restoration of its old buildings. The result is that this charming town, with its superb 16C Ottoman houses, has a truly authentic and faded appearance which makes it a delight to visit. Some of its buildings are a little run down, but this only adds to its nostalgic charm. Even the locals seem unchanged by the passing centuries. The most beautiful house in the village, Sipahioglu Konagi, is open to the public and is home to a charming small museum which, although modest in style, is nonetheless interesting.
