This morning drizzled slightly. After breakfast we left Cappadocia for Safranbolu, the World Cultural Heritage list by UNESCO in appreciation of the successful efforts in the preservation of its heritage as a whole.
Lunch served was chicken in a big metal plate with lots of bell peppers. And the restaurant also sells souvenirs and local produce. Should have bought my lokum aka Turkish delights here. It was quite cheap!!!
Other stuff which i bought along toilet breaks at Petrol Station are Olive oil hand and body cream. Comes in tube and different sizes, approx 8 Lira to 20 Lira. The more you buy, the more free tubes you get.
Late afternoon, we reached Safranbolu! Clustered houses built during the Ottoman period.
After checking into our little hotel, the guide brought us one round around the "village", it's a short circuit before he left us to do our own free and easy time. This is where I bought most of my stuff throughout my entire Turkey trip!!!
I bought little traditional wooden houses that were magnets at 1 lira!
Had my first Turkish coffee here! and a Safron Tea too.
Along the streets, i bought wooden toys for my boys. Wooden Dominoes 3.5Lira, Wooden cube 2 Lira ,Tangram 2Lira. Hand painted porcelain bowls for my MIL at 3Lira each. I bought 2 porcelain pot coasters at 5Lira each.

Beside the coffee stall, there's a another store manned by an old man whom i bought 3 cotton dresses and matching cotton bags from him. The cotton dresses were 15Lira each, cotton bags 5Lira each and I bought one big matching bag at 10Lira for myself!
Dinner was back at the hotel which was really simple. after dinner, we quickly made our rounds again. And this time I bought cotton throw 20Lira, scarf with tassels around the ends 20Lira and we shopped at a local supermarket.
I bought more handcreams at the supermarket. 6 tubes for 24Lira, 2 cans of fruit juice and 1 Nestle bitter chocolate.
Good night!
