Yörük Köyü (Nomad Village), 14 kilometers east of Safranbolu, is a tumbledown village packed full of character.
Like Safranbolu, it is home to row upon row of gorgeous Ottoman mansion remnants, though many of them are falling into a severe state of dilapidation.
The village was created when the government forced nomads to settle here (hence the name) and once settled, the new village became a prosperous center.
