This place has become our second home, and this family is our second family. Osman, Aliye and Esma have left the kindest memories in our lives. Osman and Aliye are very good-natured, hospitable and hospitable hosts. Anya and Esma became such friends that they became like sisters. We will definitely come back here.
In this house we were cozy, quiet, calm. It is comfortable to stay here with family, friends and in other combinations. Here we were sincerely welcomed by the owners, neighbors, and animals. We felt like we were in a shelter here and felt the healing of the soul.
Our hearts are filled with gratitude. The owners surrounded us with care and love, we were at home.
Turkey is the most hospitable country! It was the best time of our lives! We were happy! We have the warmest memories! What a pity that everything ends! Osman, Aliye, Esma, we miss you and this time. May there always be happiness, peace and prosperity in your home. God's blessings and see you soon!).
We were here from 09.03 to 25.04, the three of us, me, mom and sister. We left Russia after the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine and felt like a refuge here.
The house is surrounded by mountains at an elevation of 150-170m, the descent to the sea is about 25 minutes on foot, at the foot of the lagoon. In one word, it is "shelter". Dinner on the upper veranda overlooking the sea and the evening lights of a small town, Demre on the day of arrival, remained in our memory for a long time.
The Turkish spring is beautiful here! Red poppies, orange orchards, lemon orchards, bergamot, palm trees, cypresses, there is also a small coniferous forest nearby.
The owners took us to the hospital to get a vaccine, and kindly took us with them when they went to the city, so we got to the market and to the beach. More often we walked or used public transport. We enjoyed the sun, greenery and flowers. The house has atmospheric architecture, village style and an interior filled with family heirlooms, antiques. Everything is so authentic... I was thrilled! Oranges, bergamot, pomegranates and olives, grapes, mulberries are visible in the windows. There are beautiful places for trekking and walking, picturesque views, beautiful flowers. There is a watchtower and green glades nearby. On the ground, grass and stones are unusual, it's also beautiful, like a rock garden. There are much nice view nearby
During our walks we were accompanied by Bobby, a very friendly, sweet, calm, kind, affectionate, playful and funny dog. We enjoyed the views from the mountains together, played catch-up, he hugged us when we returned. It was so sweet…
17.03 I swam for the first time, about 15 minutes. The beaches in the vicinity of Demre are mostly stone, but there are also sand beaches.
We saw turtles and squirrels in the yard here. There are a lot of animals on the plot: chickens, ducks, gobblers, geese, goats – a whole zoo. There are also many interesting household items from the past in the courtyard.
We cooked, washed and cleaned ourselves. We were prompted and helped in everyday life on all our issues. We were very often treated to local dishes of Turkish food.
Everyone sympathized with us as refugees and encouraged us. Guests and neighbors also showed us care and attention, treated us, invited us, tried to help in need. Sometimes the owners, neighbors and fellow travelers drove us to the house. Outsiders offered translation services when they saw that it was difficult for us to explain something. Turkish children were very open, interested in where we are from, how we are doing, treated and shared their own).
There are many greenhouses in the vicinity and the locals were kind to us, treated us with their harvest. Osman and Aliye were kind to us and treated us with vegetables and fruits from the their own garden.
23.04 we got to the holiday and realized that the village of Beimelek, where the house is located, is one big family. Long tables were set outside and people treated each other and openly communicated.
This is a place where everything around heals). Highly recommended!
