Description
Hello Workaway participants,
My name is Burak.
Together with my brother and Sezer, we live in a peaceful private home in Alanya, surrounded by a beautiful and historic mandarin orchard.
Life here is simple and peaceful. Our home is surrounded by fruit trees and is only a 5-minute walk from the sea. We enjoy spending time outdoors, taking care of our garden, sharing meals, swimming in the sea and enjoying relaxing evenings together.
When I first started working in the garden, there were around 80 fruit trees. Today, we have more than 180 trees, and we continue planting more every year.
In our private garden, you will find mandarin trees, olive trees (some over 100 years old), lemons, avocados, oranges, loquats and many other plants. We also have a few cats living here who seem to believe they are the real owners of the place!
A Typical Day Here
We usually start our mornings with coffee or tea in the garden. After breakfast, we spend a few hours taking care of our private home and garden.
Tasks may include gardening, watering plants, pruning trees, collecting fallen fruit, keeping our garden tidy and helping with small DIY projects around our home.
In the afternoons, everyone is free to enjoy their own time. You can go to the beach, explore Alanya, read a book in the garden or simply relax.
We enjoy cooking together, sharing story and learning about different cultures.
Who Is This Place Suitable For?
This place is ideal for people who:
* Love nature and outdoor activities.
* Enjoy gardening and taking care of plants.
* Love cats and animals.
* Don’t mind occasional physical tasks around the home and garden.
* Enjoy cooking and sharing meals.
* Appreciate peaceful places and a relaxed lifestyle.
* Are interested in cultural exchange and meeting people from different backgrounds. -

Who Is Able to Help?
We are looking for people who are comfortable helping for around 5 hours a day with tasks related exclusively to our private home and garden.
Volunteers should be able to prepare their own meals when needed. We also enjoy cooking and sharing meals together whenever possible.
I’ll always be around to explain the tasks and show you what needs to be done. Sometimes, I’ll be helping alongside you, so there’s no need to worry if you have no previous experience.
Weather Conditions
In winter (November–February), it can be rainy, and some outdoor gardening tasks may still need to be done. Please bring suitable clothing and equipment, such as a raincoat and waterproof shoes.
In summer (June–August), temperatures can be very high, so be prepared for hot weather. Mosquito repellent and sunscreen are also useful.
Please bring comfortable clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty while working in the garden. -
