  • Description

    Description

    We are a couple of nature enthusiasts running/building some A-Frames and Bungalows by Sapanca lake basin (1.5 hours to Istanbul) protection zone and natural reserve. Our project is remotely located by the lake. We love building, hiking, biking, riding, swimming and enjoying life and always commited to meeting new folks and hosting our guests. We are originally based in Istanbul and involved in a number of similar projects elsewhere in Turkey. With our amazing local team, we are looking to enhance this experience by involving others who can add colours to our project. In turn we are happy to share some of the amazing cultural insights of Turkey whilst offering an opportunity to experience our unique food and accommodation.
