Description
Hello,
We are a retired couple who live in a nearby village of Ermenek town of Karaman Turkey; in a land surrounded by pine trees with magnificent lake view. There are various trees, grape and lavender plants mostly in the field.
Outside of the house we live in, we also have a separate guest house.
We have a cat, a dog and poultry.
Ermenek is a town in the Inner Taurus Mountains, surrounded by splendid mountains, with a large dam lake in the middle and has many natural and historical-cultural heritages that can be visited and seen in its close circle.
There are also many canyons, waterfalls and natural caves in around.
The district has mostly Mediterranean features, in terms of climate and vegetation. It has a hot and dry weather in summer.
Internet connection is done via mobile phone line.
In addition to our ongoing construction works, we are engaged in the care of our animals, trees and plants.
In the summer months, we mainly make efforts for tree, plant watering, maintaning and landscaping. Towards the autumn, we make efforts for harvesting and processing of the products. Such as fruit drying, jam, pickles, tomato paste, vinegar, wine making.
We want to host volunteer couples who can accompany us in these daily activities for 10 days.
Our land is also suitable for those who will come by caravan.
Angling can be done seasonally.
