Title: Bit Of Advice Please
Post by: markaren on September 23, 2006, 17:15:03 PM: Hi,

We are coming out to our apartment in 2 weeks(in Ovacik) and we are planning on visiting Uzumlu, we first went to the village over 18th months ago now and since then we have been looking at different properties for sale in the area.

We plan on spending the afternoon there have a drive round and look at some propertied and wander in the village and perhaps some lunch. Where would you recomend we visit to have a chat to the locals any particular place i know everyone mentions the wine house.

We want to try to get a feel for the area and see what if any changes since our last visit have happened before we decide to buy there.

Any advice appreciated.

The wine bar is probably the best place to get lunch and ask questions because they speak English. The cafes dont have many English speakers but if you speak Turkish then try there.

Not in the village but on the road left.
Now owned by a Scottish lady called Carole and the food is marvelous.

Ozgur is no longer at the Wine House it is now run by Tufan and his girlfriend, I will miss Ozgur being there as he was a wealth of information.

Only reporting what we were told, in answer to a prior question, when we asked where he was now.
