Description

Hi!!

We are a culture project sharing all the beauties and values of Finike town. Have a restaurant and a small hotel which has 7 rooms. Besides the project we have 70 ha of land and producing oranges, lemons and pomegranates as the third generation.

An ancient city called Limyra is also our neighbor where is such a big value of our project, because we focus on agriculture, history, gastronomy value of our region. We are trying to give information about Limyra's history to groups or individuals also.

People here enjoy having breakfast, events such as birthdays, weddings etc. besides the accommodation.

We are also very close to sea.

What's this?
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

With participating daily life of us is going to be sharing our culture. About way of production, cooking, working etc.

The more you show interest towards our life the more we can share. For example, if you have more interest on gardening or all the agricultural practices, you can see how we grow. But if you have an interest on cooking, kitchen is waiting for you for local dishes.

It is all about positioning yourselves in our life to the most interesting issue despite having a short stay rather than assigning tasks.

See You

So almost a year has passed and finally we made it to review our wonderful stay at Celal and his family's small paradise right next to a river stream and between orange, lemon, kumquat, grapefruit, citrus fruits and pomegranate tree lots.

What can we say? It was so perfect and easy. Luxurious even, every morning we got served breakfast in the … read more restaurant at the property, lunch and diner, stayed in a 5-star bungalow with complete privacy, with a small private terrace and view on the streaming river and distant mountains.

After having bounced ideas off each other, we eventually helped out with shooting videos of the property, the workers, the restaurant team, events that were hosted at the location and ancient hotspots in the area dating from times long ago, like Limyra (on walking distance) and Arykanda (Celal drove us and provided a tour) and a colourful old village nearby called Gökbük. The videos could be used for promotion and on social media.
Because Celal likes Turkish and regional history and a few breaks from work sometimes this was a win-win situation for both us, because we got to see and experience the surrounding villages as well.

For two weeks, we enjoyed getting to know Celal and his family and friends visiting, the restaurant team, and Celal even introduced us to a nearby friend where we were offered to continue our next Workaway adventure after we had completed our stay.
We had an apple pie baking contest together with Celal's mom, and got treated with wine and dinner on my birthday.

Even though we stayed in December, the weather was mostly quite warm during the days and soft in the evenings. I understand that it's preferable to stay as a couple, since it's quite a walk to the center of Finike and apart from the staff and restaurant visitors during the day the place is relatively secluded. Luckily Celal and his family are there often, so they drove us to Finike a couple of times and we even had a swim in the sea!
Celal's parents also invited us over for diner, and my thanks again to Celal's father who gave me a beautiful souvenir to hunt with (with which I still need some practice).

Thanks again, Celal, for having us. For sharing this beautiful spot with eager Workawayers and to be open to whatever input or ideas come up. I hope you will manage to let Finike flourish and give yourself enough rest in the process, as well! :)

(Excellent )

This was our second work away experience and we have to tell you; it is an unforgettable and unique one! The place was so cozy and mesmerizing, Celal, his family, the staff and everybody else was so welcoming and cheerful and they all made sure we are feeling home since we arrived.
We spent 2 weeks there while mainly working on maze orienteering, … read more
