Çomakdağ

The women of Çomakdağ Village conserve their local culture with
traditional silk clothes and gold jewellery for about 500 years.

Peasant women and girls wear silk clothes and gold jewellery in their daily life to sus-
tain their traditions. Therefore, the women of Çomakdağ become a focus of domestic
and foreign tourists visiting the village by creating a magical atmosphere with their
colourful clothes, gold ornaments on their foreheads and fresh flowers that they place
on their hijabs.
We recommend you to see the unplastered stone homes which are Çomakdağ’s remark-
able cultural beauties and the characteristic chimneys rising above these houses and
skillfully crafted wooden coffers.

Çomakdağ has been selected as one of "the five villages worthy of maintaining" in
Turkey and taken under the scope of Village Protection Project by Foundation for
the Protection and Promotion of the Environment and Cultural Heritage (ÇEKÜL).
