Experience Traditional Turkish Life With
In the history of Traditional Anatolia, Turkish people known as the people living on their horses! For long ages, they did not prefer the permanent settlement. The migrant settler lifestyle was better for them according to their lifestyles. During their migrations, they have established some huge marquees on their road to make some breaks and they were lived in these for a few weeks. They have used these kinds of marquees also in war times. They have established a little living space for themselves on the battlefield.
Today we live in huge unlovely apartments as everyone does. But a very few Kyrgyz people want to maintain their traditions. They still make some marquees, still wear their ancestors’ clothes, use horses for transportation, and still eat what they ate! You can literally feel the ethnic atmosphere of Middle East Soul with these people.
