Hi drive past Uzumlu, drive past the turning to Nif, stay on the road, drive up and up and up - do not deviate from the main road!
The road then hits some roadworks and the road comes to an end - you take a sharp right hand turn and follow a track into a village.
Kirk Pinar is sign posted from the RH turn.  Follow the road around a couple of twists and turns and then the restaurant appears.
The road is really really steep.  We took our own car up there in August and hubby thought the car had developed engine problems as it really struggled the last few yards.  It was only when we got out of the car that you could appreciate how high up we were.
Enjoy your breakfast.

As a matter of interest, has anyone been to Kirkpinar this year?  I was there last year a couple of times and thought it wasn't quite as good as it used to be.  Just wondered if there had been any more change this year (for the better or worse).

We went a few weeks ago and were disappointed, limited selection and no atmosphere.
Expected something quite special after all the reviews last year.

We issed to love the greeting we used to get and the service was friendly and welcoming, selection amazing and always left there stuffed and happy.  But the last few times we went we didn't see the older couple and the young waiters were just going through the motions, doing their job.  Such a shame.  Anyone who knew the place as it was, would notice its not the same place now, unless someone has realised and has made some (more recent) changes for the better.

I really do hope you enjoy it (I might give it another try).  The views on the way there way there (and back) are stunning too.

Always a large Turkish cliantele when we have been there over the years, but from the end of last year and the two times this year we have been, they seem to have taken their eye of the ball so to speak. Not sure the Brits can take the credit for this slight demise. Still worth it even if its just for the drive, and fnding a different way home.
