Things to do in Birgi

Birgi is a village in the Ödemiş district of Izmir, intertwined with nature, calm and fascinating with its historical texture. Time seems to slow down a bit here, making it a peaceful escape for those who want to get away from the city crowds. As you walk along the stone streets, you can see the elegant architecture of the old Ottoman mansions and feel the lifestyle of those times. Historical buildings such as Çakırağa Mansion are like a time capsule that takes you back to the past. It is also important to visit the historic Grand Mosque in Birgi. Built in 1312, this mosque draws attention with its Seljuk woodwork and detailed tile decorations. At the same time, Imam Birgivi Tomb is one of the most special spiritual spots of the village. Here you can feel the deep traces of history and culture. For those who want to be alone with nature, Gölcük Lake is a great option. It is incredibly relaxing to take a walk in the cool waters of summer or just sit by the lake and listen to the silence of nature. Birgi Meydan Kahvesi, in the heart of the village, is an ideal stop to taste local delicacies and chat with the village residents.
