Water Cisterns of Konacık

The local town of Konacik are investing in their heritage by restoring 10 Water Cisterns.

Restoration in Progress

Konacik Sarnic Restoration Bodrum TurkeyIt was heartening to read that the town of Konacık are spending money to preserve their local heritage, by investing in a multi-stage project to restore 10 of the local Sarniç’s (water cisterns).

I wonder if they’ll charge an entry fee?

We had a graffiti covered Sarniç down the road from us in Gümüşlük - but on our recent trip in June, we noticed that the graffiti had be replaced by a glistening white coat of fresh paint. When there in this virgin state, they remind me of a misplaced arctic hobbit house.
