Sometimes you can say : "That person is my family member". This is exactly Abobaker! He stayed with us during 3 weeks. Very kind, open-hearted, friendly, helpful Abu was everytime ready to help. We are already missing him. Hope to see you again, dear Abu! Thank you very much for your help.
Looking forward to meet you again. Good luck.

We stayed with Gula, Sedat & Esat at their new house near Duaci (1 to 1.5 hrs from Antalya city center by bus+tram). This is the perfect place for anyone looking to get away from the city noise and have a chance to live like locals while caring for chickens, rabbit, birds and help Gula/Sedat finish their comfortable spacious home.

Gula is a great… read more

Unfortunately I was only with the lovely Sanlav family for two days, as I was filling in a little time between my previous hosts and staying at a hostel in Antalya. They were very welcoming and treated me as family from the time we met. Gula is an amazing cook and kept me well fed three times a day. I helped them with a couple of small projects on… read more

Gula and Sedat were very welcoming and nice. I think the timing was rough given both Gula and Sedat were sick and the weather wasn’t good, which made it hard for us to work some days. ----Text redacted----
