As you wander through the cobblestone streets, the restored houses built with stone workmanship carry the traces of the past to the present. Each house has a different texture and a different story.

Get lost in the quiet streets of Doğanbey: As you walk among the houses with a blend of Greek and Ottoman architecture, you may come across bunches of grapes hanging from the windows of one and olives drying in the courtyard of another. It's so authentic that every corner inspires Instagram.

Take a Cool Break at Şorlak Waterfall: In the village, which stands out with its natural beauties, the waterfall and the surrounding stream view are worth seeing. It is like an oasis to breathe after a walk.
