A visit to quaint Beypaziri

Hi'yall -this page is all about BEYPAZIRI!!!!!!

The road to Beypazari

Had nothing to do one weekend  and we all decided to go to Beyppaziri  - it's only about 100 km from Oran and an easy one-and-half hour's drive. So you guys visiting me next year - this would probably one of the spots we can easily go to.

Actually  about the first week of June would be a good time to visit because they have some sort of  cultural festival - and they have all the handicrafts and foodstuffs out etc - yes, it should be good to visit Beypaziri then....

Carrots anyone?

Beypaziri is in Ankara - it's a small, rural town famous for it's carrots and carrot juice, of course - hahahaha they even have a carrot 'monument' right in the centre of town,,,,

Beypaziri guvec

 and then also for their stew ( guvec), tho we forgot to try that when we ordered our lunch!
I also noticed they sold lots of of the natural healthy organic stuff, dried vegetables, local spices...

and get this - there's lots and lots of accessories - especially silver - very nice designs! But we just went for the cheap touristy stuff, for now ...Syireen got a pretty necklace with a handpainted pendant.

-  after all, there's still plenty of time ans I'm sure I'd be back again when you all come down anad visit us....eh...bila ya?

I enjoyed walking around town - the place has lots of period buildings from the Ottoman era, and the town looks really quaint with it's cobbled streets and everything ...the whole atmosphere itself is rather tranquil and relaxing..



I especially love browsing through the little shops.

Since we left Oran early at about 9nish and got were there just before 11:00 am - so it was nice and cool - great day for strolling around and window shopping

J munching on the local steamed nuts - yummy!
