I wrote earlier that Turkish restoration can lack subtlety, and during a 2014 visit I was torn between being impressed by the restoration activities around the Hacı Bayram mosque and being abhorred by the Disneylandish quality of some of the result. This result however seemed to be much appreciated by the visitors, and I feel a tourist attraction has been created that will attract many of the bus loads of Turks I increasingly see all over the country, visiting their "past" (which is brand new in many cases).
