4 visitor tips
Check indoor access
Workshops at the Living Museum follow the day’s programme. Visit mosques outside prayers and view house façades from public streets.
Do not plan tourist visits to mosques at Friday midday.
Start with the short plan
Start with the houses and museum in the morning. Take lunch before the valley and descend from Hıdırlık in daylight.
Add the viewpoint rest stop to your return timing.
Plan outdoor stops around the weather
The valley and hill may be windy. After rain, take care on the bazaar paving and check your footing on slopes.
Shorten the valley walk if it rains.
