Title: Getting to Kargi museum
Post by: joannasal on June 22, 2011, 04:33:47 AM: Some guests have heard about the Kargi museum and asked me how to get there? I have no idea! Is there a dolmus and if so, where from and how often? Does the man there do just breakfasts or lunch aswell?

Thanks

You get off when you see the Kargi sign with red lines through it & take the road to the RHS, which is opposite a small workshop. It's a fairly narrow windy road, but reasonably flat & interesting to look at the flora & fauna as you go. Quite a way along, the road forks & take the LH road, there is a small sign to the museum here, & that brings you to the entrance to the museum.

I'm not sure of the frequency of the dolmus, but from the number that pass along the Gunlukbasi road, I'd guess around 10 - 15 minutes.

During the winter, they were just doing a village soup at lunchtimes, there was a cauldron full made for us, served with huge quantities of bread. The only alcohol they had at that time was efes, for which there was an extra charge, whereas, water, chi & turkish coffee were all included in the price of the soup, which I think was 5tl.

Well worth it and the breakfasts are superb but be prepared for a looooong walk.Museum very interesting and not at all as you would expect a museum to be.Have seen it many times and still go to look each time.Dont forget the baby donkey when you go . A couple of sugar lumps might be appreciated or a carrot.Definately worth going there and hope you enjoy your visit.

It is well worth a visit though.

Post by: Anne on May 07, 2012, 18:39:54 PM: Can someone give us directions to the butchers please?
Is it up past the museum or as you get off the dolmus?

Post by: Liz 101 on May 07, 2012, 18:55:25 PM: There is a turning on the way to the museum, which had a small signpost when I last went up there. Alternatively, as you come out of the museum / restaurant, turn right, at the end of the carpark take the first left & walk down the hill & back up again, go into the driveway & you're there. Usually, a black labrador cross will come rushing to meet you & take you back to his home, problem is he likes to see you off the premises too & has to be persuaded to go back.
