Tourists come from all over, but on Sundays, the village closes its gates to new visitors. If you are already staying there, it's fine. But if you plan a day trip on a Sunday, you'll have to turn back. The villagers decided this so they could get one day for their own work and to deep-clean the village without disturbance.
