The Secret Village Hidden in the Taurus Mountains

Göynük is a sleepy village tucked away in the Taurus Mountains of Antalya Province. As I made my way through the narrow streets lined with traditional houses, I couldn't help but feel transported back in time. The village is a hidden gem that has managed to escape the crowds of tourists that flock to other parts of the region. The locals, who are mostly farmers, were incredibly welcoming and eager to share their culture and way of life with me. I learned about the production of olives, honey, and traditional Turkish carpets. The surrounding mountains offer breathtaking views and the chance to go on hikes and explore the countryside. Overall, Göynük is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the authentic rural charm of Turkey.
