Birol is the owner of this restaurant, which serves local specialties. He invites cyclists to stop and camp here (free of charge). There's a magnificent view of the valley, and he's very, very friendly. The place is very clean and has restrooms. On mornings when the wind isn't too strong, there are balloons taking off in the distance over the valley.
His restaurant is also right next to a church carved into the rock and an old linseed oil pressing workshop, also a troglodyte. It's a very peaceful place.
