Gaziosmanpaşa (GOP)

Gaziosmanpaşa — GOP to everyone in Ankara — is the diplomatic quarter, a calm, leafy, well-kept stretch of Çankaya where embassies and ambassadors' residences sit behind garden walls and the streets are quieter than anywhere central. The art here matches the address: commercial galleries serving a residential, professional and diplomatic community, set among the villas and apartment blocks. It is refined and unhurried — a quarter where art lives close to the people who collect it, in intimate spaces rather than a crowded gallery row.
