    Description

    We are a family Ozan and Kiyara with our daughters Aybüke and Umay. They are 6 and 8. Our job as a family is Naturapathy, Phytotherapy which sees body,mind and spirit as a whole and we treat patients with natural medicines, art therapy, aromatherapy ... Ozan is practising as a Shaman over 20 some years...
    On our journeys to find a better place to build our dream place we have found this magical place, in the foothills of Akçay river (which is the border of Muğla and Denizli region.) 4 years ago, directly moved in and start building everything from scratch as family. A house, an atelier, pools, gardens etc... by the side of the forest. We dont have any employees.
    You can see our place in the mountain as many stars...
    We use to be travellers before and we have found all what we love like mountains, rivers, forests, canyons, jungles, desert like places, historical places all came together in very small area.
    Our location is in between two villages aproximetly 5 km away from each one. The main road is coming untill the river and than the last 1 km is pretty off road, uphill.It is possible only by 4x4 vehicles, trucks (can arange from the villagers) or by foot. So get ready for a safari kind of journey :D
    We are building our heaven on earth here. We made everything here on our own and still has projects to go on like building a guesthouse so we really would use some help now....
