  Description

  Hello,
  
  I'm Ulas, 44 year old living in a village in Kas district, in the mountains. Here we have buit a eartbag eco village with my brother and husband and with some friends.
  
  I'm also scuba diving instructor in Kas, giving diving lessons in summer time. Also with a close friend of mine, we've started a gardening project.
  
  We own some lands around Kas. We've planted nearlt 1k almond trees and some of our lands are apple gardens.
  
  Time to time we need some help and we'd like to host some travellers if they are interested in apple harvest. In three years we will need help for almond harvest as well.

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Since moving from Istanbul, we've been adjusting to life in the mountains. We are learning about the traditional local culture and its way of life, experiencing farming and gardening firsthand—all while still scuba diving. For thousands of years, people have developed a unique culture here in Lycia, where we live. We invite you to experience it with us.
