The deliberate approach of the mayor of this settlement, working ahead of the curve, turned the picturesque Ottoman city, located high above the Inenyu Valley, into a permanent place for weekend escapees from the bustle of Ankara.

Copper craftsmen and carpenters work hard, shopkeepers impose models of Ottoman fashion houses packed in small bags on tourists who have come from Ankara for a day, and the market, which is already 200 years old, reminds of the position of Beipazari on the Great Silk Road.<\/p>\n
