Real Life Captured #210: Beypazari Turkey! Part Seven (10 photos)
Hey there my Steemit friends! In this "Real Life Captured Series" I do my best to bring you exactly that; the real life captured from destinations all around the world! After twelve years of travel experience my favorite thing to do is walk around! That's right, I simply like to go to foreign countries and walk around. I observe and photograph the people, food, culture, way of everyday life and bring it to you in this "Real Life Captured Series".
In these photos we are going to get a glimpse into the real life of the small Turkish town of Beypazari located an hour outside of the cities capital, Ankara. Beypazari is one of the first major small towns on the long road to Istanbul, there are many small towns along the way but this town due to it's proximity to Ankara has become a popular weekend getaway for the residents of this major city.
As an American looking for a unique cultural experience, I came to the right place. The Muslim Turkish culture leans to the west, and made me feel very welcome. The center of town is very old and historic, lined with shops and restaurants. The town is famous for of all things; carrots! That is right, in the fields surrounding this town they grow a lot of carrots. Also the town is known for the Turkish sweet pastry Baklava.
This small town of 40,000 was just the right size for a relaxing few days to simply unwind and hang out in. There was everything you needed in terms of shops, restaurants, museums, markets, nature hikes, and more. Besides that it had a very old world vibe. Some parts of town really had me feeling like I was stepping back in time. Now come a long and let's see if it has this effect on you too in this Travel Pro Real Life Captured Series of Beypazari Turkey!

Seeing the brick pathways reminded me of the old Spanish cities. There's a city here in the Philippines called Vigan City that still has brick roads.
What caught my attention most are the trashcans. It really looks so old and abandoned. I feel that life there is simple and relax, free from complexities of city life.
Thank you for taking us to Turkey, @world-travel-pro. 😊
Thank you for your detailed comment. Vigan City, I'll have to look that up. I have not been to the Philippines in a long time. I think I may be due to visit. Glad you enjoyed the post! Have a great day! -Dan
Oh hi, Dan. Vigan City is included in the UNESCO's World Heritage list. You may check it out. 😊

Hope to visit Turkey again soon you right it lean to the west. This is the last day of my stay in NYC and North America, they have been intense six months in which I learn new things. In my opinion, in the boot-shaped country where I was born, we have to learn to something from you I mean as Canada and the USA, just my perspective. By the way, the pizza in Roberta's was good enough and not very expensive to be in NY. And I usually am fussy and meticulous about the pizza I should write a post about it. :) :)
Awesome Phil. Glad you enjoyed my home state, even though the city is a whole other world from where I grew up. The pizza in NYC is excellent. Thanks for keeping me posted on how things went. Never stop learning!
I went also outside NY and visit the house of Mark Twain in Hartford :) :) A great traveller and writer :)
Yes, traveling in his day was a whole other thing. Glad you enjoyed your time in the states.
