Ask how time passes in Aydıntepe and the honest answer is: slowly. The mountain's shadow falls early, the village streets go quiet not long after, and you fall into that rhythm whether you plan to or not. Heading up to the plateau, parking yourself in a village coffeehouse, or just walking to fill your lungs with cold air — all three count as a legitimate plan here. Don't overthink it: roll the dice, follow whatever number comes up, and let the scenery handle the rest.
