[2025 Aksaray Restaurant] Travel Guide for Belisırma River Restaurant (Updated Feb)

Under the winter sun, I embarked on a journey around the quiet village of Belisırma, nestled in the heart of Turkey's Cappadocia region. The chilly air hinted at solitude, the village appearing to be in a deep slumber, a stark contrast to the usually bustling summer days. The Melendiz River, the lifeblood of Belisırma, flowed quietly through the valley. The riverside eateries, usually teeming with life, sat silent and shuttered due to the winter season, their tables, typically just a foot or two above the gently running water, empty. In the midst of this peaceful solitude, the sound of the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, echoed from a nearby mosque. Despite the mid-afternoon quiet, this melodious call reverberated through the air, filling the stillness with a sense of tranquillity and spirituality. The combination of the flowing river, the dormant eateries, and the resonating adhan created an atmosphere of stark yet serene beauty. It was a winter tableau that brought to the fore the underlying character of Belisırma – unpretentious and authentic. This winter drive around Belisırma was indeed a unique experience. Far from the maddening crowds, it offered a chance to witness and appreciate the quiet charm of rural Turkey. Amidst the chill and quietude, I found warmth in the timeless traditions and tranquil beauty of this lesser-known gem. #shopandtrip #myperfectstaycation #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #couplestrip #deliciousfood #Belisirma #OffTheBeatenPath #Cappadocia #IhlaraValley #MelendizRiver #RuralTurkey #WinterDrive #AdhanEchoes #IslamicTradition #TurkishVillage #PeacefulVibes #WinterSolitude #ImmersiveTravel #EchoesOfTurkey #LessTravelled #TurkeyTravel #AuthenticExperience #SerenitySeeker #CulturalJourney #RiversideCharm #TimelessTradition

#getgoing2025 #myitinerary #thingstodo #travel #thingstodo #myitinerary I recently took the Cappadocia Green Tour as a par of which we visited the Belisirma River Restaurant. The restaurant had such a beautiful view of the river and after having a meal there, we just walked around it. It was such a fun thing to do. There were many cats at the restaurant as well. They were so cute and little kittens were too adorable. Do visit this place.
