Ethem Pertev Yalisi

The famous cosmetic cream, Krem Pertev, was produced in the 1960's by one of the early pharmacists of Turkey, Ethem Pertev. He was born in 1871, and is the second owner of this mansion also known as Sarayli Hanim Yali. After the death of Ethem Bey, his children continued to run his pharmacy in Aksaray, and sold the mansion in 1932 to a ship's captain. Built in the Art Nouveau architectural style, this house has been successfully renovated in recent years.
