(Translated by Google) If you want to experience a real folk song atmosphere for hours on a Saturday evening, you should forget everything on this stage and just listen to the music. Except for the arabesque style that got mixed in (just because it was requested), everything was exactly as it should be. The young artist's voice is so similar to Neşet Ertaş's late days that you can sometimes feel like you have come to the master's concert in the dark. Kazan saleb is very good, by the way. :)

Cumartesi akşamı saatlerce gerçek bir türkü atmosferi yaşamak istiyorsanız buranın sahnesinde her şeyi unutarak sadece müziği dinlemelisiniz. Aralara (sırf talep edildi diye) karışan arabesk tarzı saymazsak her şey tam olması gerektiği gibiydi. Genç sanatçının sesi Neşet Ertaş'ın son zamanlarına o kadar benziyor ki karanlıkta bazen ustanın konserine gelmiş gibi hissedebiliyorsunuz. Kazan salebi çok iyi bu arada. :)

Reviews
Kaymakamlar Gezi Evi Cafe Ve Rasteurant is a historical gem in Safranbolu, once the mayor's house, now transformed into a museum showcasing traditional Ottoman architecture. Visitors can explore mock-ups of different rooms with detailed explanations through videos. The cafe in the atrium offers a serene atmosphere while enjoying local music performances on Saturday evenings. The friendly staff and beautiful presentations add to the charm of this place, where you can also enjoy the magnificent view and purchase various items like roasted coffee and tea.

(Translated by Google) The building isn't original; it's a one-of-a-kind replica inspired by the original. I found the objects used within the building to be sufficient, but I did see some items in some rooms that bore a resemblance to our history. Overall, it's a worthwhile place to visit, but it's not a professional museum, just so you know.

Bina orijinal değil orijinalden esinlenerek bire biri yapılmış. Bina içinde kullanılar objeler yeterli gördüm ama bazı odalarda tarihimize yakın olan bazı ürünleri gördüm. Genel olarak gezilecek bir yer ama profesyonel bir müze değil bilginize…
(Translated by Google) The environment is nice and calm. Our waiter was polite and friendly, thank you. I liked how it bent very much and I recommend it.
