    A high lite of our tour of Turkey!

    Ann_W, Jun 2025
    Ann West 11:11 AM Please post my review on your website: My son & I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Can and his wife Gaye. They welcomed us warmly into their home, and engaged us step by step in preparing a 5 course dinner together which was especially delicious, seasoned with love! We asked Can if he could guide us on a tour of Bodrum Center. He kindly picked us up 3 hours earlier, showed us ancient sites and local art exhibits, recommended & bartered for best quality gifts in a bustling market, walked us along the waterfront, stopping at places with the best views, and treated us for drinks overlooking a shimmering Mediterranean beach. Our time together getting to know Can and Gaye was rare and memorable. Can is an avid sailor who enjoys his own boat and also rents larger boats to tour and party with close friends. They live a simple free life on a high hill overlooking the sea, where they can walk and swim daily at a neighborhood beach. Lovers of travel, they back packed through Thailand on a motor scooter! One could not have the pleasure of spending time with a kinder or more generous couple over a memorable Turkish feast. Ann West

    Great organic home cooked meal

    Friendly, amiable and welcoming couple. Lovely home with great views. We were taught to cook many local organic dishes which produced a great meal which we got to enjoy with our great hosts.

    10/10 Cooking and Eating Experience

    Lisa_D, Nov 2024
    This was such an unexpectedly wonderful experience! Can and Gaye welcomed me into their home and we made breakfast and lunch, and also enjoyed some homemade jam, cheese, tea and more. We also started cured olives for me to take home, and also enjoyed some raki and melon. I feel like I’ve made new friends!
