Major city · Türkiye (Turkey)
Beypazarı
Go as a day trip from Ankara (2 h by bus) or one night: the Ottoman old town is 2–3 hours, plus İnözü Valley if you have a car.
Beypazarı is a valley town 100 km west of Ankara, on the old Istanbul–Ankara trade road, with several blocks of traditional Ottoman houses, a 400-year-old courtyard han and a canyon of rock-cut dwellings 2 km north. It is small: the historic centre is walkable in half a day, and most visitors come from Ankara on the 548 or 577 bus. Come for the old town and the carrots, not for a resort stay.

- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Taxis must run the taximeter; refuse flat quotes, or book through BiTaksi or Uber so the ride is logged.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Carry lira in small notes for tea, markets, tips and toilets; prices move with inflation, so treat every printed price as dated.
