*** Alla & Sukru, Istanbul, 02 July 2010:
Ne yazik ki tatilimizin son aksami ve bu cok guzel mavi evimizden ayrilmak zorunda kaliyoruz. Dinlendik ve huzur bulduk burada, bu evde, bu bahcede. Hoscakal Ayvalik ve guzelim ev. Tesekkurler.

*** Ayhan & Tugba, Ankara, Turkey, 17 June 2010:
Muthis bir BALAYI, muthis.....Tek kelimeyle harika olan bu ev, manzara, herseyi cok guzel. Bizde harika anilar birakan bu eve ve Ergin Bey'e cok cok tesekkurler. Harika bir hafta gecirdik. Iyiki varsiniz......Ask + Ayvalik......

*** John & Jane Oakley from Tasmania, 05 June 2010:
We lucked in! It looked great when we accidentally came upon it on the internet but the reality is even better! The house is a treasure trove of little gems, yet very functional, a tribute to Shelagh and Ergin's exquisite taste for the beautiful! So close to "down town"! And such generosity of spirit of the hosts! Can't leave out the million dollar views from the bathroom! Thank you! We have stayed in a lot of lovely accommodation all over the world but this compares very favourably. Should you get to Tasmania, please email. 

*** Ann & Richard Woods, from Wales, 04 April 2010:
Thank you Ergin and Shelagh - Back again - We've hardly had a relaxing break, working on our boat in the Ayvalik Marina but it's been lovely to come home every evening and sit on the balcony to unwind and watch the sunset. 

*** Duncan & Lisa, London, the UK, 12 March 2010:
We had a nice relaxing time in your lovely little house - even if the weather wasn't very good! Thank you so much and hopefully we will come back again one day.

*** Pelin & Guray, Izmir, Turkey, 03 January 2010:
Yeni yila girdigimiz bu evde, pek cok guzel animiz oldu. Evde gercekten hersey dusunulmus, soguk kis gunlerimizde dokme sobanizin olmasi ayri bir guzellik vermis. Buradan ayrilmak gercekten bizim icin cok zor........Her sey icin cok cok tesekkurler.

*** Aysun & Gokhan, Istanbul, Turkey, 31 October 2009:
Bircok detayin dusunuldugu bu keyifli evde guzel vakit gecirmemek mumkun degil. Evin dekarasyonunun insana verdigi keyif, balkonda oturup manzarayi seyretmenin verdigi huzur ve mutluluk bu evden dinlenmis ve yenilenmis olarak ayrilmamizi sagliyor. Ayvalik Tatil Evi, Ayvalik ve Cunda sayesinde hem guzel 3 gunluk bir tatil hemde keyifli bir dogumgunu gecirdim. Evde dokme soba bulunmasi ise, ozledigimiz kestane tadina varmamiz icin guzel bir sans ve aksamimizi keyiflendiren harika bir ayrinti oldu. Ergin Bey ve Shelagh'ya tesekkurler.

*** Ann & Richard Woods, from Wales, 19 October 2009:
We only planned a fleeting visit - what a silly mistake! We must return - we will return. Thank you so much for your well set-up holiday home and your hospitable welcome.

*** Esma & Yavuz, Izmir, Turkey, 15 October 2009:
Hani hayatta unutulmaz gunler olurya, bu gunler guc verir insana. Benimde hayatimdan guc aldigim, yolumu cizdigim 10 gun bu sirin evde gecti ve cok mutlu oldum. Her kosesinde anilar biraktigim bu mekanda bu guzel imkanlari sundugunuz ve bu anilara vesile oldugunuz icin cok tesekkurler. Sizleri tanimaktan cok memnun oldum. Hayatimin baska zamanlarinda bende sizleri agirlamayi dilerim.

*** Resmiye & Bekir from Bursa, Turkey, 04 October 2009:
Sadece uc gundur burada olmamiza ragmen Ayvalik'a ve bu sirin eve o kadar isindik ki, buradan ayrilmak memleketimizden ayrilmak gibi geliyor. Guler yuzunuze, sicakliginiza ve misafirperverliginize cok tesekkur ederiz.

*** Ilja & Diana from Hamburg, Germany, 26 September 2009:
After 5 turbulent days in Istanbul, we came to this magic place, Ayvalik Holiday House. The house is appointed with love. An oasis of calm which made us feel coming home. Never before we had such a lovely place like this for vacation.
Your kindness and hospitality made our stay perfect. It's hard to leave from here and we hope to see you again.
All the best.

*** Susan Fraser, from Canada, 12 September 2009:
Thank you for sharing your holiday home with me. It is truly an oasis - one that I very much enjoyed, especially my mornings in the garden; evenings on the upper deck. Thank you for sorting out the buses for me and the Turkish translations. I shall always remember your little house on the hill and my time in Ayvalik. If you ever come to Western Canada, please do email me so I may show my world to you.
Kindest regards

*** Jess & Sela, from Wrexham, the UK, 05 September 2009:
Thanks so much Ergin and Shelagh
Also thanks to Jenny and her warm welcome.
As I mentioned, I love the natural relaxing decor - you are welcome to re-decorate my home at any time! My favourite thing had to be watching the sea whilst in the shower.

*** Meral & Necil, from Istanbul, 26 August 2009:
Bu masmavi evde hayranlik icinde gecirdigimiz kisacik tatilimiz damagimda hep bir leziz tat olaral kalacak.
Sevgili Shelagh, iyiki bizleri bulusturdun. Bu harika ev, bu harika manzara ve yasam...Sevgili Ergin, ne diyecegimi bilmiyorum...muhtesemdi. Hersey gonlunuzce olsun.

*** Yusra & Degi, from Holland, 11 August 2009:
Looking at the pictures on internet from Ayvalik Holiday House we had made ourselves of course already some high expectations. But these expectations were more than true. A lovely house, in a lovely garden in a lovely town. Although some days were very hot (37C!), we had a very nice holiday, visiting many islands, Pergammon (via Kozak, thanks to Shelagh's guide) and Dikili. With kind regards.

*** Yasemin & Zafer, from Holland, 02 August 2009:
Iste bir haftalik ruya sona erdi. Burada cok guzel gunler gecirdik. Ayvalik cok guzel, ev cok guzel, sirin, manzarasi super....Balayi icin buradan daha muhtesem bir yer olamazdi herhalde....Ilginiz ve samimiyetiniz icin tesekkurler. Sevgilerimizle.

*** Seval & Gokhan, from Canakkale, Turkey, 25 July 2009:

*** Fazilet & Timucin, from Istanbul, 18 July 2009:
Bu dar, tarihi sokaklari cikarken artik balkonumuzu, bahcemizi ozledigimizi farkettik. Bu kucucuk, ozene bezene hazirlanmis mekani oyle benimsedik ki; her seferinde "Evimize Donelim" dedik buradan bahsederken. Eminimki Eylul ile birlikte manzara bile degisiyordur. Simdiden bu guzel evin kisini da gormek istiyoruz. Guler yuzlulugunuz ve bu guzel mekan icin tesekkurler.

*** Umut & Feride, from Istanbul, 12 July 2009:
Tatil suremiz boyunca bu guzel ve sirin evde cok rahat bir zaman gecirdik. Balkonun guzel manzarasini ve buradaki cay keyfimizi hic unutmayacagiz. Samimiyetiniz ve misafirperverliginiz icin sonsuz tesekkurler.. Tekrar gorusmek dilegiyle.

*** Matthew & Orest, from France, 06 July 2009:

Bu guzel evi yanlizca kendinize saklamayip, insanlarla paylastiginiz icin kendimizi cok sansli hissettim, ayrica konukseverliginiz icin de minnettar kaldim. Keske her dinlence yerimizde, bes yildizli koca koca doga dusmani oteller yerine, sizin ki gibi iki essiz estetik duygusuna ve iki guzel yurege sahip insanlarin sirin evleri ve bize acilan dost elleri olsa.....Hersey icin coook tesekkurler. En kisa surede tekrar bulusmak dilegiyle.

*** Halime & Ufuk, from Isparts, Turkey, 18 June 2009:
5 gunluk maceranin sonuna geldik. Burasi cok guzeldi. Eve o kadar cabuk alistik ki sanki kendi evimizdi. Herseyi o kadar guzel duzenlemissiniz ki, hic bu kadarini tahmin etmemistik. Sizlere ne kadar tesekkur etsek az. Zaman cok cabuk geciyor, zaten guzel gunler cok cabuk gecer ya! Bir ruyada boyle gecti, sizlere cok tesekkur ederiz.

*** Chris & Jeanie, from Nottingham, the UK, 12 June 2009:
Wonderful home and location. Absolutely love the attention to detail. Great place to stay. Wonderful hosts. A huge thank you to Ergin and Shelagh.
We will return.

Cok tesekkur ederim. Allahaismarladik.
Kiitos! Toivotaan, etta tapaamme.

*** Judy & Katie Shragge, from San Diego, USA, 30 May 2009:
Shelagh and Ergin have created a wonderful haven of perfection in Ayvalik. Everything we needed for a lovely vacation was here to make our visit comfortable. The view from the house is spectacular and we spent lots of time admiring it. Bergama was very interesting and well worth a visit. We also loved going to the beach club on Cunda Island. Many thanks for a lovely holiday.

*** Sukran & Korhan from Istanbul, 19 May 2009:
Uc gundur gordugumuz ruya bugun bitiyor, bu ruya evde her dakikamiz mukemmel gecti. Dusledigimiz evi belki alamiyacagiz ama burda bizi bekleyen bir evimiz var artik. Hersey icin sonsuz tesekkurler.

*** Carol & John, from Staffordshire, the UK, 28 April 2009:
Enjoyed our stay very much in your home and beautiful garden. We were made to feel very welcome. Thank you for your help and kindness.

*** Jane & Roy Green, from Somerset, the UK, 24 April 2009:
We found the Ayvalik Holiday House on the internet by accident and it has proved to be the best accident ever. We had such a warm and friendly greeting and the house is delightful. The weather hasn't been brilliant but it hasn't stopped us eating outside on the patio and sitting upstairs on the balcony enjoying the evening air. We have been to visit Troy, a lifelong ambition and well worth the arduous drive. Shelagh and Ergin have always been there to help, especially negotiating the narrow cobbled streets with a car - many, many thanks to you both for all your kind support. This experience will certainly be repeated to all our family and friends and they may well wish to experience it for themselves. Many thanks. Love Jane and Roy.

*** Emek & Tanju, from Germany, 10 April 2009:
Bu son gecemiz :-(
Yogun gecen bir haftanin ardindan, bu kadar kisa surede kendimizi toparliyacagimizi tahmin etmiyorduk. Burda gecirdigimiz her an cok guzeldi. Ozlemini aradigimiz o huzuru bu ruya evinde bulduk. Hic yabancilik cekmedik. Bu olagin ustu evi bizler icin hazirlayan sevgili Ergin Bey ve Esine ne kadar tesekkur etsek azdir. Bu bir haftalik kalis son degil....Simdiden ne zaman tekrar gelecegimizin planlari icindeyiz. Dostca kalin...evimize iyi bakin :-)

*** Andrew & Yonca, Oxfordshire, the UK, 15 December 2008:
What a grand yet chic little place this is. The sun shines in by day;by night you can light candles and enjoy the fire. You wake early to the mist across the rooftops of Ayvalik from the balcony. You sleep content that you are in love. Just share it with someone very special ...

*** Gulsah & Hasan Ali, from Trabzon, Turkey, 11 December 2008:
Bu eve bir baslik konulmasi gerekse en uygunu "Romantik Ev" olurdu bence. Icinde bulundugum en romantik ortam, en ihtiyacim olan ortammis meger... Kucuk, sirin bir ev, 3 kat, her katta ayri bir dunya... Ozenle, ictenlikle dosenmis, her sey en ince detayina kadar dusunulmus. Balkondaki manzara, isiklandirmalar, aksesuvarlar kusursuz. Dis dunyadan soyutlanmak istiyenlere en uygun yer. Tekrar gelmek planiyla ayriliyoruz burdan. Bize bu unutulmaz anilari yasamamiz icin bu mukemmel ortami sunan Ergin Bey ve esine sosuz tesekkurler.

*** Ann & Tom Atkins, from the UK, 02 December 2008:
It is amazing what the Internet can do - you just hit the right button and the next minute you are in Ayvalik! Thank you Shelagh and Ergin for letting us stay in your beautiful house. You have obviously gone to a lot of trouble to make sure that your guests want for nothing - the house is perfect. This is our first visit to Turkey and we have enjoyed the experience more than we can say - superb food, breathtaking scenery, friendly, charming people and - such history!!! The chances of us returning are very high. We are so sorry to be leaving this little house on the hill.

*** Sule & Mert, from Istanbul, 01 November 2008:
Simdilik elveda masal evi;
Burasi hakikaten masal evi gibi, insan burda sadece huzur bulur ve mutlu olur. Dis dunyadan o kadar soyutluyor ki insani bu bahce, balkondaki manzara, evin sirin mi sirin dosenmis her bir kosesi...Askimla burda hayatimin en guzel 2 gununu gecirdik ve doyamadanda gidiyoruz. Hos ne kadar kalirsak kalalim doyabilirmiyiz buraya, orasida ayri taraf:-) Bahce kapisindan girdigimden beri soyleyip durdugum bir sey var ki surekli, onu buraya yazmak istiyorum. Bu evde, bu bahcede ve Ayvalik'ta insanin omru uzar, sehir ve insanlari o kadar tatli ki! Buraya gelen herkes gibi bizde bir gun buraya yerlesme planlari yaparak ayriliyoruz Ayvalik'tan. Raki-Balik-Ayvalik uclemesi hayatimizin vazgecilmez bir zevki artik! Tekrar gelicez Masal Evi! Ergin bey ve esinede cok tesekkurler.

Evim evim guzel evim...
Ayvalik'ta sahip olunabilecek en guzel evde cok mutlu, cok huzurlu ve kusursuz iki gun icin sizlere cok tesekkur ederiz. Terastaki manzara esliginde gecirdigim gunes banyolari bu pastirma yazindaki yapilabilecek en guzel aktiviteydi benim‌ icin...Bahcede kahvalti keyfi, aksam raki-balik-Ayvalik uclemesi, asma katta dergi keyfi, o guzel mutfakta yemek hazirlamak, hersey cok guzeldi. Herseyin boyle kalmasi dilegiyle; Bu ev, bu bahce, bu guzel hava, manzara ve daha bir suru sey.....Hep boyle kalsin olurmu?

*** Toby & Amanda, from Navada, USA, 28 October 2008:
Dear Shelagh and Ergin,
We were beginning to get worried that we would not find a special place in Turkey during our honeymoon and then we came to Ayvalik. The guest house is a calming port in a storm after erratic planes and buses. We appreciated the instant feeling of comfort from the moment we stepped off the bus till our last hours in town. The information folder and literature was helpful in navigating the plethora of tea houses and food shops. We will always remember this place fondly.

*** Rabia & Ahmed, from Istanbul, 11 October 2008:
Balayi tatili icin geldigimiz Ayvalik'ta bu sirin ve sevimli evde kaldik. Ilk gun bizi karsiliyan ve eve getiren Ergin Bey'in kibarligi, misafirperverligi, kulturu ve samimiyeti evin atmosferi ile butunlesmisti. Evin dizayni, rahatligi, bahcesi ve manzarasi muhtesemdi. Misafirlerin rahatligi icin hicbir detayi es gecmeyen Ergin Bey ve esine tesekkur ederiz.

*** Fiona & Tayfun, from Geneva, Switzerland, 05 October 2008:
Ayvalik and Cunda are magic!
For me the best moments were sitting in the garden enjoying the pomegranate tree and olive trees; picking herbs for dinner and listening to the city sounds. For Tayfun, it was a moment to discover a town he had heard so much about and finally was able to enjoy. A wonderful calm home. A little oasis of tranquillity and great hospitality.

*** Louise & Max, from London, 30 October 2008:
Dear Ergin and Shelagh
What a wonderful home and a fabulous place to stay and relax, eat, cook and get to know Turkey. Watching the sunsets from the balcony (and lowering down the basket to collect baklava and cigarettes) before heading out to try all manner of delicious Turkish food is something we cannot, sadly, transport back to London. We particularly enjoyed Cunda Island and your restaurant recommendation - and we are heading there again tomorrow before we head back home, to grow fat on the highly addictive peppers stuffed with shrimp! We would very much like to stay again and explore more of Turkey. You have thought very carefully and kindly about how to make this house a home for your guests and for that we thank you.
Kind regards

*** Hakki & Ilke, from Istanbul, 24 September 2008:
Tek kelime ile muhtesemdi. Insanin Ayvalik'ta bir evi oldugunu bilmesi cok guzel.

*** Nick & Nay from London, England, 20 September 2008:
Thank you for the wonderful stay. You could not have been more hospitable, accommodating hosts. The house is clearly a labour of love. Beautifully finished with every last detail thought of. You must look forward to the winter months when you are here yourselves.
All the best, thank you again.

*** Ina & Stephan from Berlin, Germany, 07 September 2008:
Dear Shelagh and Ergin
We enjoyed your lovely, peaceful and beautiful house and garden really deeply. One can see all the care with which you composed all the details into a whole. It is a place to calm down and relax and a place that is so nice that - on the one hand we would recommend to all our friends and on the other hand - should be kept as a strict secret to enjoy on our own.
Ina

Hey Ho you two!
Wow, this was a very fine vacation! We really enjoyed the stay - way too short but we will come back for sure! Only bad thing is the fact that we loved the place so much we didn't want to do any sightseeing ...Hope to see you again. Thank you.
Stephan

*** Aret & Claudia, from Ankara, Munich, Germany, 28 August 2008:
Kisada olsa ikinci kez misafiriniz olduk. Simdi balayimiz icin geldik, hic dusunmeden......Sokagin sevimli kedileri ile cok daha guzel olmus eviniz. Artik kisin gelmeyi planliyoruz bir dahaki sefere.....Terasda oturup kar ve yagmurun yagisini izlemek muhtesem olmali. Sevgilerle.

*** Elena & Stefano from Bergamo, Italy, 20 August 2008:
Dear Ergin and Shelagh, thank you so much for your warm welcome in Ayvalik and your beautiful house. It was like to be home, full of nice details that make the differance and make us feel very comfortable here. It was beautiful to have dinner outside in the garden, with all the flowers around and the voice of muezzin singing. We will always remember this place. Hope to see you again. 

*** Bora & Gamze from Istanbul, 13 August 2008:
Burada dogmadik ama bu evde yasadiklarimizla burali olmak istedik.
Sabah kahvaltimiz, kedilerimiz, gunesin batisi, yagmurun sesi...Hepsi biz sanki cok uzun zamandir burdaymisiz gibi bizi karsiladi. Birlikte gecirdigimiz ilk tatili bizim icin essiz kildiniz.
Hersey icin cok tesekkurler.
Gorusmek uzere.

*** Joan & Steve from Liverpool, England, 07 August 2008:
Dear Shelagh and Ergin
A lovely house in a lovely place full of special memories for us. We felt at home immediately. We shall recommend you to others and already have. Thanks for being welcoming and friendly. Very Turkish!

*** Emi & Naso from Sofia, Bulgaria, 02 August 2008:
This was our first substantial trip in Turkey. We are happy we found Ayvalik and your house - it gave us plenty of passion to have one of our own. We will ever remember its atmosphere and the marvellous evenings in the garden. Thank you!

*** Metin & Tuba from Canakkale, 19 July 2008:
Ne cabuk da gecti bir hafta..! Geride birbirinden degerli ve unutulmaz bir canli aniyla beraber bu guzel haftaninda sonuna geldik. Ileride esimle birlikte bu guzel haftayi her hatirlayisimizda sizlere olan minnettarligimizi hep hatirliyacagiz. Bize bu harika evinizde bu tatil imkanini sundugunuz icin size ve esinize cok tesekkurler. Saglik ve mutluluklar.

*** Nuri & Ipek from Istanbul, 12 July 2008:
3 months of search for a suitable place to pass our summer holiday was finally ended here. And we are glad and GLAD in capital!!! We have found so much more then we ever could imagine. So much beauty, so much passionate decorating.....This place is unbelievable. We need to leave now, but we will come back. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thanks for everything Shelagh and Ergin.

*** Asaf, Ayfer, Yusuf and Kubra from Istanbul, 04 July 2008:
Oncelikle sizlere hersey icin tesekkur etmek istiyoruz. Internet uzerinden basliyan yolculugumuzun bizleri nereye goturebilecegini tam bilmiyorduk. Fakat bu sevgi dolu yuvayla tanismamizdan sonra icimizdeki butun sorular guzel cevaplarla karsilasti. Bizde en cok etki birakan ancak sevgiyle buyuyecegine inandigimiz bahcenizdeki guzel cicekler ve agaclar oldu. Bu guzel yuvanin ayni sekilde muhafazasi temennimizdir. Butun guzelliklerin sizler ile olmasi dilegiyle hoscakalin.

*** Gulsah, Eren and Ahmet from Kutahya, 29 June 2008:
Bu evde aklin sinirlari Ergin abi ve Shelagh'nin gonul derinliginde asilmis; imkani olan herkez boyle bir evi yapabilir ama belki bu ruhu veremez. Ergin Abi, Shelagh, bu eve Ege'nin ruhunu uflemissiniz, Ayvalik'a ayna olmus, onu bu eve yansitmissiniz. Gonlunuze saglik.

*** Xavi, Esther, Marc and Sofia from Spain, 14 June 2008:
Thank you very much for these lovely days at your home in Ayvalik. We felt at home in your place. The house is full of small details that made us feel very comfortable and homely. Thanks again for taking care of us and homely. We hope to see you again.

*** Ebru & Servet, from Izmir, 31 May 2008:
Ayvalik beklentilerimizin ustunde cikti. Bu kadar begenecegimiz aklimiza gelmezdi. Bunun yaninda; kaldigimiz gunlerde bize gercek hayatla yuzlesmemize sebeb olan eviniz (Evimiz) cok guzel, ozenle yapilmis, dekore edilmis, hersey dusunulmus. Kelimenin tam manasiyla mukemmel. Hersey icin tesekkur ederiz. Saglik, mutluluk ve sevgiyle kalin.

*** Eftal & Muhterem, from Istanbul, 19 May 2008:
Kelimelerinizdeki ozen evinize yansimis. Yillardir burada yasiyormus gibi hissettik. Gonul adami ve esi olarak sizleri tebrik ediyoruz. Aradigimiz huzuru Ayvalik'ta bulabilecegimizi evinizde bize hissettirdi. Simdi buraya yerlesme planlari yaparak ayriliyoruz. O zamana kadar eviniz bizim duragimiz olacak.  Shelagh ve Ergin'e cok tesekkurler.

*** Ozlem & Gokhan, from Izmir, 17 April 2008:
Herseyi ile dort dortluk bir ev, tarihi ve gorunumuyle harika bir sehir, Ayvalik, ve ruya gibi gecen iki gun. Keske iki gun degilde daha fazla kalma imkanimiz olsaydi. Ozellikle samimiyetiniz ve guler yuzunuz bizi kendi evimizde hissettirdi. Daha sonra tekrar gorusmek dilegi ile...
Hersey icin tesekkur ederiz.

*** Burcu & Ali, from Istanbul, 03 January 2008:
Geldigimiz gunden beri, evinizde tek bir eksik bulamadik. Ince detaylari olan, bu ozenli ev icin cok tesekkur ederiz. Beklentimizin cok otesinde bir hafta gecirdik. Bize burayi Ayvalikli olmayi isteyecek kadar cok sevdirdiginiz icin tesekkur ederiz. En kisa surede tekrar gorusmek uzere.

*** Yahya from Istanbul and Wilma from Amsterdam,  26 October 2007:
Although it rained almost a whole week, we truly enjoyed the clean and warm house and welcome Shelagh and Ergin provided. This house deserves the kind of people who deserves it.
Tesekkurler - Yahya
Het was heel fyn en gezellig, bedankt! - Wilma.

*** Dave and Liz from East Yorkshire, the UK, 06 October 2007:
We've had a splendid time here in Ayvalik, the house and garden are terrific, the weather fantastic and the hosts friendly and helpful. We've visited Seytan Sofrasi for the view, Badavut for a walk on the beach to the rock formations. We've also been to Cunda and to Patricia twice, once for the quiet bay off the left fork and once to walk through the olive groves to the ruined monastery. The highlight of our visit though has to be the market on a Thursday - amazing, and also the Akropol at Pergamum. It's time for a final highlight, a cool Effes in the warm of the evening in this quiet, relaxing garden.

*** Tjeerd Abma from Holland, 29 September 2007:
I enjoyed very much all the details, beautiful garden and of course, all the extras that you offer. It made me feel like I lived here for a while. Thank you very much.

*** Demet from Izmir, 14 September 2007 :
Hersey "Mukemmel"di. Bir dahaki sefere gorusmek uzere.....Sevgiler

*** Roman from Switzerland, 14 September 2007 :
Ganz herzlichen dank für ihre Gastfreundschaft, das kleine Paradies dass sie uns prasentiert haben ein Gaster Eden. 
Thank you both, dear Shelagh & Ergin for your hospitality, your warm welcome and for everything good you did for us, especially your medical advice for Demet's thumb!!!!! What had we done without you. Thank you very much indeed!!! You presented us a small part of the Garden of Eden.

*** Nora and Engin from Ankara, 03 August 2007:
Ruya gibi bir tatildi. Keske hic uyanmasaydik. Bir omur boyu unutamiyacagimiz anilarimiz oldu burada. Eminim hatirladikca, sicak bir gulumseme sararken yuzumuzu, Ayvalik'in serin ruzgarini da hep hissedecegiz. Tesekkur ederiz.

*** Claudia and Murat from Ankara, 28 July 2007:
Bu guzel ev icin cok tesekkur ederiz. Evin icinde hersey var ve cok detayli yapilmis. Cok sevdik ve ilk dakikadan asik olduk. Kendi evimiz gibi rahat hissettik. Shelagh ve Ergin cok tatli, dikkatli ve ilgili bir cift. Boyle oldumu tatil daha guzel geciyor. Bu ev icin ugrasmalariniza cok tesekkur ederiz. Herkezin buradaki gunleri guzel ve rahat gecsin.

*** Yonca from Istanbul, 20 July 2007:
Bir kucuk ev bu kadarmi mukemmel olur? En ince detayina kadar dusunulmus, zevkle dosenmis. Sansi acik olsun!  Bu harika eve kalplerini veren iki tatli insan Shelagh ve Ergin'e tesekkurler. Mukemmel ev sahipleri, aslinda tum Turkiyede bu isi yapanlarin sizden ogrenecek cok seyi var!...Megersem bu sakin tatile, balkonda oturup kendimi ve Ayvaligi dinlemeye ne kadar ihtiyacim varmis.  Umarim bu evde kalan herkez buraya kendi evi gibi bakar ve dikkat eder. Tekrar gelecegiz....Sevgiyle

*** Martin and Meredith from the UK and the USA, 29 June 2007:
The beautiful town of Ayvalik and this gorgeously restored antique house surpassed our wildest dreams of what Turkey's Aegean coast could offer. Tastefully decorated, warmly inviting with every element of the local area (like olives and cheese) - we were enchanted!
Thank you so much for helping to make our holiday so lovely!

*** Robert from Kenya, 18 May 2007:

The perfect holiday home and the perfect hosts. Thanks for everything.

*** Linda and Glenn from Bodrum, 07 May 2007:
Ayvalik is our favourite Turkish coastal city so far and this lovely bright house is a heavenly retreat. Greek and Turkish history and memories come alive in the house. We loved waking to see the lovely sea view and enjoying the plethora of local breakfast treats selected by Ergin and Shelagh al fresco.
