Hamamonu - Ankara

Recently I visited the area of Hamamonu in Ankara.  It wasn't the first time I had visited as I went in October.  The area is undergoing restoration at the moment, and in October it was difficult to see everything.  This time was different.  A lot of the work that was going on in October (all the areas for walking had been dug up) had been completed, and the sun was shining.  There is still a lot of work going on in the area, but there are plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants in the area that have been completed.

Hamamonu is one of the oldest districts of Ankara, and is now almost completely pedestrianised, so it's a peaceful and tranquil area.  It's a treat to sit outside one of the many cafes, restaurants and tea houses in the sunshine and watch the world go by.  There are artist's studios in the square where they display their work.
