01The konak

Through the gate, a courtyard under the trees; from the courtyard, a wooden staircase; at the top, rooms that each have a colour of their own. Breakfast and dinner are at Eski Kuşhane, the konak's own restaurant — and in between, every street of Safranbolu.

    Breakfast made with fresh, seasonal, local produce, served at the window tables of Eski Kuşhane.

    The courtyard

    Late afternoon at the wooden tables in the garden, as the konak's windows light up one by one.

    Eski Kuşhane

    Regional dishes at the konak's restaurant — and live music on stage on some evenings.

    Your room

    A Safranbolu night under a wooden ceiling, in the warm light of a brass sconce.

04Outside the gate

The bazaar is
a few steps away.

The konak is in Karaali, in the Çarşı — Safranbolu's old winter quarter. Leave the car in the konak's car park and walk everywhere else.
