Cumalıkızık

The old village is known for its historical value-you can wander up and down the streets and see the architecture of the houses, which are still standing from Ottoman times. The streets can get a little crazy, because they only serve the purpose of going from one house to the other and don't really follow a "normal" pattern. There is even one "street" that is only about 80cm wide! The second thing this village is known for is gözleme-it's very thin dough, almost like a crepe, that is filled usually with spinach, potatoes, or cheese, and then cooked with a lot of butter. Rather tasty, if I do say so myself.

In Cumalıkızık we ate at a house/restaurant that was very cozy. There were two women rolling out the dough and filling it, and a man who cooked it over the fireplace.
