Sleeping
For the time being the only accommodation in this area is in Kemaliye.
Transport info
There is no public transport to Yeşilyurt from Kemaliye (22km) so you will probably have to hire a taxi. In that case you should arrange to drop in on the villages of Apcağa, Ergü and Kozlupınar on the same trip.
