On Sunday we spent the day out in and around Safranbolu.
The first thing we did was visit the Hammam. Hammam is basically a full on body wash including an exfoliation, massage, hair wash and Hair conditioning.
We paid 7TL (3€) to the woman that scrubbed as down including the tip and then paid 35TL (15€) for the turkish baths, we found out we got ripped off but still this is cheap for any tourist. If you go to any country where they offer Hammam, I really recommend you to go. You will have to go half naked and get fully scrubbed by someone of the same sex so if this type of thing bothers you, then you shouldn't go. If not, please please go as this leaves your skin beautiful and soft like a baby.
After that we walked through the Bazaar and saw the old shoe market. Below you can see my collection of photos of our morning out.

Turkish Baths, go through the wooden doors to experience the best scrubbing experience. |

The Old shoe market with shisha and Tea bars. |
You will find cats everywhere and they are respected and treated well by the locals. |
I advice you to never walk this town in heels, hard enough in flip flops. |
