    Description

    Our house is a kite center that has its own surf spirit hotel, restaurant, bar and kite school. The center is located on the Gulbahce kite beach in Urla / Izmir – Turkey which is on the west coast of Turkey. It is approximately 14 km from Urla and 50 km from Izmir. Public transportation is available.
    Turkish - French couple owns the center. It has 14 rooms and roof area, garden, a pool and a skate park. It has a warm and sociable atmosphere. You can meet foreigners and local people.
    The center is pet friendly.

    as for our staff: we are separated in to three part: the hotel, the kite school, and the restaurant.
    The hotel: one manager, one receptionist, one cleaning lady, and one night guy. That is where most of the help of the workaway is needed: DIY projects, decoration, gardening, keeping the place tidy, and helping the cleaning lady on week ends when it is crowded and during events.

    the school: we have a manager, two office person, four assistants, and 11 instructors. the only help from workaways we ask here is DIY project for the center, and decoration/painting.

    The restaurant: a manager, a cook, a cook helper, a cleaning guy, a barista, two people taking orders, one delivery guy, and one "jocker". We don't ask for help there.

    We offer our volunteer team food and accommodation for their help, and we do discount on the bar and kite lessons. Contact us for details :)

    we do have a small comon area for home office, and our internet is decent, but we do have some cuts sometimes (we are in a small village on the coast), so if you are really dependent on 24/7 internet, the best is to get a card for your phone, it's quite easy and cheap in the airport :)
