    Hello arkadaş 🙋🏼‍♂️ welcome to Türkiye 🇹🇷

    Can Mocamp is the first backpackers hostel&campsite in the region of Kas. With its gardens, bungalows, stone house dormitory and landscaping cut into the hillside, the authentic charm has been kept alive since 1985.

    After having been demolished during the construction of Kaş Marina and land route in 2011, the facility has been reconstructed in the same concept in accordance with its authentic structure with a project and a call for volunteers.
    International volunteers were the heros of reborn Can Mocamp 🙏🏻.

    In 2021 Livorno restaurant (stone oven Italian cousina) was found and become a very well known name in Turkey in a very short time) 🍕🧿

    In 2024 with the new swimming pool, facility had been converted a diving resort as well. Can Mocamp guests and you (as a host) can take all levels of scuba diving training and certification.🤿

    My name is Can. I am an agricultural engineer (Plant pathologist). After 10 years of agro business in Istanbul I moved to Kas¸ and have been running the camp for 20 years with my family.
    We (me & my wife) spend the winter season in Koh Tao, Thailand 🇹🇭 and working as an diving instructor. We can help you to plan rest of your trip after Turkey.

    Because The mission of Workaway is the cultural share, I kindly request my citizens not to send any request🤷🏻‍♂️🫶.

    Important note: people who give a commitment to come and do not do it without an excuse ( informing at least 5 days before) will be reported to Workaway council. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Hoping to see you :) 🤗
