Caferaga Medresesi (School) was founded by Mimar Sinan in 1559. The Turk Kulturune Hizmet Vakfi (Foundation of Services to the Turkish Culture) reestablished the Medrese into a recreational area for tourists and residents. The Medrese still has 15 small rooms -once classrooms, now exhibition rooms- inside which arts of ceramic and miniature are being exhibited and sold. There is also a nice open courtyard, where typical Turkish home-cooked meals can be tasted and coffee and tea can be drinken. There are also snacks such as toasts, burgers and homebaked cookies. A nice area for relaxing during a day full of sightseeing.Map:
