Pookie, yes you are so right that is the real Turkey.
We have some land on the way up to Tlos and we have been up the mountain on many occasions the locals are so happy to see you, one time we pulled over to let a mum duck and her babies cross the road and it happened to be close to a small turkish house, an old lady came out to us ushered us to sit down at her table outside and made us some turkish cay, we stayed there for probably 20 minutes she was talking away in Turkish much of which we could not understand!, when we got up to go I put some money on the table and she picked it up and gave it me back gesturing to us she did not want it, I tried and tried to get to have it but no............the mountain people in particular are the most lovely, happy and generous people, they don't get to see many other people and when they do they certainly make us very welcome.
We still see her when we go up and call in for a Cay, we now say to her we would like some grapes and she has bunches of grapes hanging from the roof and we insist we pay her for those and got away with that last time!!
Very very much Old Turkey in the mountains and the villages around there and its just wonderful.
