We firmly believe in supporting the local economy and in particular the small shops and businesses. One of the things we particularly appreciate about living in Turkey is the fact that daily life still has a personal touch, and we do enjoy doing our shopping at the baker's, the greengrocer's, the butcher's etc.
We have compiled a list of places that we think you would enjoy visiting. Remember that in Turkey, there are no problems, there are only solutions! Whether you need an aspirin, a bit of fresh fruit for your journey or a sandwich to keep you going, maybe your glasses need mending or your laptop is playing up and you need advice, you'll find your answers here. Turkish people are always eager to help and want to make sure you take back to your home country positive memories of theirs.
This list is only a starting-point and will be updated regularly. Please feel free to send us your suggestions and comments through our contact form. We'd love to hear from you!
One of our other favourite breakfast places is Simit Rüyam opposite the PTT Bank in Ürgüp. Get there early or you might find they have sold out! Sweet pastries but also gözleme, sort of wheat-flour tortilla, made freshly for you and filled with cheese and/or spinach or potato. Or flaky pastry filled with the same or ground-meat. Or a typical Turkish breakfast of bread, cheeses, cold meats, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs, jams and honey! In the summer, you can sit out in the garden at the back.
Tolga Ozalan, in Ürgüp's high-street, just next the Levi's shop, speaks excellent English and has saved us a trip to the doctor on quite a few occasions.
