So, we had a smal natural walk under slow rain, we had a chance to see some local plants such as chestnut, walnut,..etc. Then we continued with Derekahve, Ayazma. Ayazma is a religious place where there is a church and mosque together by the river. It is the "SYMBOL OF PEACE", isn't it? people can live together for long times and prays together ina single building ... The lunch time... also the famous traditional "Tire meatball" time... After lunch, we had a spesific visit to an old, traditional workshop of " HANDICRAFT OF FELT". Craftsman is working his craftman also, his father.
