Sarıhacılar Village attracts over 100,000 visitors in Antalya

Sarıhacılar Village, located in the Akseki district of Antalya, has seen a significant surge in tourism, welcoming over 100,000 visitors in the first eight months of the year. Despite having a small permanent population of approximately 55 residents across 25 households, the village has become a major destination for cultural tourism.

The village is renowned for its traditional 'buttoned houses,' which are constructed using stone walls and cedar wood beams joined by wooden pegs without the use of mortar or glue. To preserve this unique architectural heritage, new zoning regulations have been implemented that prohibit concrete construction and require new buildings to adhere to traditional techniques.

Historically situated on the Silk Road, Sarıhacılar offers visitors a glimpse into the past through its ancient structures and proximity to natural landmarks like the Altınbeşik Cave and Monastery Canyon.
