Üzümlü has all the gentle charm of a traditional village; one that is full of life and which has in no way surrendered its character to tourism. To visit Üzümlü is to become part of a community, whether taking refreshment in the local tea house, pottering round the small outdoor weekly market, or watching women weave the textiles – dastar – which the area is renowned, on looms outside their houses.
There are some fine old Ottoman houses in Üzümlü, a handsome mosque and a handful of local lokantas including a pide (Turkish pizza) shop and an excellent bakery and a colourful, weekly fruit market.
