Its story
The fountain in the village of Selamlar, attached to Gümüşova, has gained a special place in the village's memory because Mustafa Kemal Atatürk stopped here during his journey in 1934. It is said that Atatürk drank the ayran offered by the villagers at the fountain. The villagers hold a festival every year on 18 July to commemorate this visit. The fountain is a suitable stop for a short break and a local touch of Republican history.
