Çekiciler Bazaar
Amasra, Bartın
A historic bazaar street where masters of 'çekicilik', Amasra's wood-carving craft dating back to the 17th century, sell their work.
Its story
Çekicilik is an art of wood carving practiced in Amasra and its villages, with a history going back to the 17th century. Local woods such as linden, boxwood, ash, walnut, cherry and alder are carved on hand lathes. In the Çekiciler Bazaar, where the craftsmen gather, wooden spoons, forks, mortars, salad bowls, snack sets, bird figures and inscribed plaques are sold. This narrow street right by the castle gate is the best place to buy a souvenir from Amasra.
