Can you imagine what it would be like to live in a place with a name that translates to ‘land of the yurt’? Yurtbeyi, a small village nestled in the foothills of the Ankara province, has been a home to nomadic people for centuries. The very name suggests a connection to the traditional round tents, a symbol of nomadic life. Yurtbeyi, once known as Gerder, has witnessed much of Turkish history. This village was strategically important as a defensive position, guarding the paths into the region. Its strategic location is proven by the Gerder Castle, mentioned in history books, safeguarding the area. The village boasts a unique history, with ties to diverse groups, from the nomadic Turks to the Byzantines. Today, you can still feel the spirit of nomadic life in Yurtbeyi, though the village has grown and changed over the years.
