Beschreibung
We are a family-run small hotel with 8 rooms at the hills of Ida mountain in North Aegean region, Turkey . We have a big garden and a greenhouse where we grow our own vegetables and fruits. Our establishment is well known especially with its cuisine which is based on local vegetables and wild greens as well as sea food. We give a delicate touch inspired from world cuisine to the traditional tastes. Our kitchen is quite well known throughout Turkey and abroad with its original dishes. Our owner-chef Erhan participated to several international events on cooking and got many awards as well. Also he has book in which he describes his adventure of hotel and shares his recipes. We organize cooking classes and some workshops. The hotel is just by the National Park of Ida Mountains and we organize botanical tours as well.
We have a small shop within the hotel where we sell mostly products of our own produce.

Vom Workawayer (Curt) für Host

This was my third workaway. The chef/owner was so relaxed with my schedule, he kind of allowed me to make my own decisions where and when to help. He also allowed me to do a 12 course tasting at his restaurant, and was beyond kind and generous.

His staff was also a wonderful group, not speaking much English, but clearly showing a lot of… read more

Vom Workawayer (Alaya) für Host

This was my first workaway experience. It was beautiful, magical, and life enhancing. If you have the opportunity to go, please go. Erhan is a very accommodating host, the kitchen staff is like a second family to me [Nesrin, Ismihan, I miss you dearly], the view is amazing, and the hiking trails that are available to you are magnificent.

I… read more was their first workaway so the schedule was a bit fluid at first: I helped out in the kitchen and during breakfast, up until about 3pm. I usually had time to myself after this. In the kitchen, I did the dishes, helped to clear off the tables, and sometimes in the evening I would assist Nesrin, the 2nd Chef [awesome cook btw] with clean up. If it got really busy and there was a dish on the stove I knew how to cook, I would be allowed to prepare it just to help ease the flow in the kitchen. You don't have to know how to set or wait tables; Erhan will pretty much let you know what to do, where to be, and how to do it. Or if he doesn't give a thorough explanation, the staff will communicate it to you.

I also offered dance classes to those who were interested. It all went well while it lasted. If you're offering something in exchange as well, don't feel bad if people stop showing up to your offering. It happens.

Language: You don't have to speak Turkish to communicate with the staff. You just have to be willing to be present and open to communication with your hands, learn by watching, and be available during your allocated time. I did really well with the staff when I was there; anyone can do the same.

Bring a camera [or two]. You'll definitely regret it if you don't. Hiking shoes would be great as well.

I only intended to be there for the month of April, and I was invited to stay for May. I left June 2nd.

If Erhan says he's going out and invites you, try to go along. You never know when you'll get another opportunity to go. Summer is coming so I am not sure if he'll have the time to go far [like to Pergamum, or Sardis], but if he or his sister is going out and they invite you, go. If his friends come out to the hotel and invite you somewhere, go.

The evenings are usually cooler than the day; at least it was much cooler in the spring. Not sure how the summer months will be. However if you're going to be hiking up the mountain [at least 2 hours in], you'll want to bring a light jacket. It gets cooler faster higher up on the mountain than it does where the hotel is located.

Lastly, the food. Most of the produce is grown on the property. The herbs are all grown on property - so if you're an herbal tea fan, your ingredients are in the garden. There are apricots, strawberries, soon-to-be grapes, almonds, pomegranates [though they're only just blooming now]... If you're a vegetarian, they'll be accommodating. If you eat meat, there's plenty. You won't go hungry, so you needn't worry.

There is a family dog and then there are the village cats and dogs. The cats you'll see frequently, though you might not see that many dogs on property. In the village, they're everywhere. If you're deathly allergic to cats and dogs, you might have some difficulties. Everyone in Turkey smokes; so if you're allergic to cigarette smoke, you might have some difficulties.

Other than that, I loved it here. Who know if I'll be able to return for a second run. In the very least I am glad I to have had the opportunity to be here. Thank you so much Erhan.

Workawayers, if you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to contact me. I know there's a lot of craziness going on in Turkey, but this location is far away from it all, and is really safe.
