I'm planning a 17-day trip to Turkey that runs counter clockwise from Istanbul-Selcuk-Cappadocia-Safranbolu-Istanbul. Safranbolu is a recent addition to the itinerary, but it came at the cost of other cities in the Aegean/Mediterranean coast. I've read about Safranbolu's wonderfully restored and preserved Ottoman houses, and I wonder if they are worth a visit.
Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
I m from Turkey Safranbolu. Too many people visit Safranbolu from all over the world. But i think u must stay here for 2 or 3 days to live the historical atmosphere here. Here u can not find a comfortable hotel. Generally the hauses of us will be your home. It's not expensive. Ottoman houses'll enable you to live the lives that you can never live in your lifetime. Thank u for choosing Safranbolu. U can find me Cevrikkopru Restaurant 2 in Safranbolu old town. If you want i can help for your trip. ozkan Askın
Everybody has 1 doughter and 1 boy in Safranbolu. Trousseau of baby is prepared by mother of girl. Relatives organise a baby ceremony called as “ninni”. Baby is swaddled by blue swaddling clothes. While the ceremony, Hodja takes baby and everybody sings religious songs. After ceremony, people offer somethings to guests.
After “ kiz görme”( encounter), “kiz isteme” ( ask permission) and “nisan”(engagement), which are kind of custom.before wedding, the day of the wedding is decided. People decide that the wedding is not organized between two religious festival (Ramazan and Kurban) and it is organize when people have more vegetable and fruit. Meals are prepared one week ago. Best wedding menu is thin dough, baklava, patty, pie, meat, okra and stuffed vegetables. Wedding is continued for a week.

This dish is a family favorite, especially on weekends in Safronbolu where dough/pasta dishes are a part of the cultural tradition. It is prepared with dough bought from the bakery and is filled with sautéd mince meat, finely chopped onion, spinach or silverbeet and black pepper. When it is cooked, it is glazed with butter. It is served with “kiren”. Besides weekends, this dish is made for funeral wakes and prays and is served to the guests with ‘ayran’.( watered yoghourt)
A dough is rolled out and cut into squares and strained yogurt and mint is put in the dough and folded in a triangle and is dropped into boiling water. When it is cooked, melted butter is poured on the pasta and it is served (somewhat similar to ravioli).
