It was heartening to read that the town of Konacık are spending money to preserve their local heritage, by investing in a multi-stage project to restore 10 of the local Sarniç’s (water cisterns).

I wonder if they’ll charge an entry fee?

We had a graffiti covered Sarniç down the road from us in  Gümüşlük – but on our recent trip in June, we noticed that the graffiti had be replaced by a glistening white coat of fresh paint.

When they’re in this virgin state, they remind me of a misplaced arctic hobbit house.
