Visit the Traditional Village of Bezirgan

Bezirgan is an authentic working Turkish village and a whole world away from the lifestyle you will experience in Kalkan. Life in this high mountain valley (yayla) has not changed much in the past 100 years, and its inhabitants live off the land, many following the same pattern as their ancestors. There is plenty to see in Bezirgan and you can't help feel relaxed as you are greeted by its friendly people who are full of Turkish hospitality. The village houses are full of charm and depending on the time of year you visit, you may get to see their animals being shorn, wool being processed, or planting for the next harvest taking place. The rich soil found there provides fertile land for the villagers and lush grazing for their livestock. You are free to walk around the village and observe their daily routine, and you may even find yourself envying their simplistic, slower pace of life! There is much to be said for enjoying the simple pleasures in life, and as you sit outside one of the tea houses, and watch the local men play backgammon or dominoes as you sip your tea, you will be drawn into this charming, simple world.
