Last years gain to Ankara tourism is attemp to renovating old city with amode we can call alaturca shortly.That poor area is rebuilded .The coffee and kebap houses are nice places to breathe old anotoly.Few gift shops and local shops opened by women of the area are interesting.They have an art quartier even in which tradional painting arts are teached.Do not expect much,for sure you will feel Anatolia.
Great area for a stroll, a bit of history, a Turksih bath and more. In nice weather some sidewalk places.
Very nice place with historic ottoman designs.I like the houses' walls,doors and windows' style.I think it still needs more facilities.
A few artist shops and many cafes, but you can walk the 2 streets in a couple of hours. Very few of the artists are friendly and it was a waste of time.
We visited Hamamonu during our work visit to Turkey for an International project. It was very near to where we stayed during our trip and almost everyday we had chance to go down to the area. It is uphill but the view and shops fantastic.
Restaurants in this area are well known by their tasty food. When you finish your meal it will be a good idea to walk around to digest the food also enjoy the local shops
they did a very good piece of job by renovating this area. Looks much better and safer for people and families
It's a peaceful feeling to walk around this restored area. It's a great job done there. During the month of Ramadan-fastening month- there are so many events going on and it's great to be around.
the houses are beatufil , they restored few years ago. It is very historical place and take your camera with you because you dont want to miss them
I was extremely happy to escape the awful traffic of modern Ankara and stroll the peaceful streets of the old city. It looks just like any other small Turkish village, which is essentially what Ankara was before it became the capital of the republic. It is very interesting to see the progress of the restorations; crumbling houses with caved-in roofs and floors, houses being fitted with new wood and concrete, and the final product. There is much work to be done; the restored area is quite small, but it is encouraging to see work proceeding at an ambitious pace.
