  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of 6, with 4 humans, 1 cat and 1 dog from capital city of Turkey, Ankara. We have moved into our new land in Muğla Province, building and organizing our eco tourism farm.

    Our farmstead is located in Yaka Neighborhood, which is close to major historical sites and tourist attractions such as Ölüdeniz, Fethiye, Kas, Kalkan, Saklikent, Tlos and Xanthos.

    For 2023, we are really looking for long term workawayers,

    -Help with housekeeping, we have 4 bungalows on daily rent. Majority is European/American Guests.
    -A workawayer who can stay with us for 2+ months is preferred.

    We need Workawayers for;

    - Landscaping
    - Permaculture/gardening labor
    - Help with basic construction
    - Housekeeping/guest management

    These chores need some muscle work, of course within human limits.

    We do not want anyone to use our farm as a stop to catch some breath, rather stay with us 3 weeks or more. Please don’t forget we are not a holiday resort.

    Work hours window and work type will be discussed if you are interested. We will try to be as flexible as we can so you can also enjoy sightseeing, historical sites, the sun, sea and beauty of Turkey.

    We have a double bed room in the main building with private entrance and in-suite bathroom. If it is not occupied by another workawayer, it will be yours.

    We will prepare, cook and eat together. So help is a must also in the kitchen. If you are not into Turkish Cuisine and prefer something else, there are few shopping places for your needs, a bit far but reachable. Any special dietary expense and alcohol will not be covered by us (almond milk, vegan food, beer etc.)
