A breakdast too far, methinks Lynne, more like a candidate for Bed & Breakfast .

Its about 15 to 20 mins (say) from Calis to Uzumlu, then another half an hour (ish) to Kirk Pinar.  Well worth it for a special experience.  And, Scunner mentioned the bread, it IS superb.

They do have accomodation of the rustic variety, if you really feel you need to stay

and the homemade butter and cheese. mmm!!!

We used to go there for breakfast, play in the snow, wait for a table (Sundays are very busy indeed), get a table, have breakfast (which comes in stages!), drink cay, then play in the snow, then stay on for lunch!

yes it is a lovely little place - we had breakfast one Christmas morning a couple of years ago, a magical experience.  Crisp snow outside, snowball fights and then warm as toast inside next to the soba.....fresh bread and jam until you pop, fresh eggs as bright as the sunshine......wonderful [^]

And for those of us in the UK at the moment..........homemade Turkish breakfast is delicious:D

This year i am growing my own veg to try and recreate the fresh taste you get in the Turkish villages. I have also managed to source genuine Turkish Black Olives:D

and what is with the tomatoes ?   no tomato ever tastes as good as a turkish tomato eaten in the sunshine !!!  mmmm

Do not know if it qualifies as a 'traditional' Turkish breakfast but the Lemon Tree Restaurant in Hisaranou provides a really nice Turkish breakfast. Very fresh,good quantity/quality and served with style. We make a point of having breakfast there when visiting friends or on route to Olu Deniz. Only place where we have found slices of orange forming part of the meal which,at first I found odd,but later appreciated.

Directions to Kargi Muze.

Assuming you are coming from Calis - drive to Ciflik and drive all the way through on the main road until you leave Ciflik. There is a sign to mark this point.

Almost immediately take the first right I think and as a landmark to check as you turn right on the left hand side there is a sort of pinkish building. I think there may also a small home made sign at this junction too saying muze.

Anyway continue along this road - do not turn off do not pass go and eventually you will come to it on the right hand side.

Definitly worth a visit - our favourite restauarant for breakfast.

Thanks for the directions Nichola. As the weather is supposed to be on the turn tomorrow, is there any indoor seating or is it only a fine weather venue?
