THE VILLAGE TABLE
Breakfast and the village table in Kozbeyli
Around the village square and the stone lanes beside it you will find places serving village breakfast and home cooking; the dibek coffee poured on the square is one of the village's own habits. This page does not recommend or compare individual venues — opening days and hours vary from place to place, so it is best to confirm before you go.
At Kozbeyli Konağı, breakfast is served to staying guests from 08:30 to 11:00 and is included in the room rate; it is laid on the table rather than offered as a buffet. Non-staying restaurant guests are welcomed from 08:30 to 14:00, subject to availability — we recommend letting us know in advance so the team can arrange the table and service flow.
