Bayırköy is a village in the İkizdere District, Rize Province, in Black Sea Region of Turkey.[1] Its population is 169 (2021).[2]
The village population consists entirely of a single extended kin group, the Ekşioğlu family. All villagers are connected to each other through lineage ties within this family. The Ekşioğlu are of Turkish origin, belonging to the Bayındır branch of the Oghuz Turks. The founder of the village, Hacı İbrahim Ekşi, is buried next to the village mosque.[3]
The village was founded in the late 18th century by Hacı İbrahim Ekşi and his relatives.[4]
