*** Deniz & Safak,
Istanbul:
Saatli
caminin yanibasinda, doyumsuz manzara ve daracik sokaklariyla,
Ayvalik'i, Ayvalik'in kalbindeki bir evde yeniden kesfetmek harikaydi.
Bu evdeki hic bir detayi, turkuaz boyali pencereleri, hasirdan kafesi,
zeytin agaclari, limon agacini, mavi dosyayi, merakli komsulari, harika
dekorasyonu ve son yaptigimiz keyifli kahvaltiyi hic unutmayacagiz. Bu
arada "Sihirli Tasin Gucunu"de unutmayin :=) Sevgiler

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.

Here are some reviews
of
previous
Ayvalik Holiday House guests.
*** Lise and Skip, Ottawa,
Canada
Dear Shelagh and Ergin
Coming
upon the internet site of Ayvalik Holiday House, we couldn't resist
it's charm, so here we are. The reality surpasses the computer! When
our friendly and informative hosts opened the gate, we entered into a
paradise - a delightful garden filled with olive and pomegranate trees,
flowers and herbs. The house itself is so delightful, having
practicality blended with a sense of decor, radiating tranquility. We
have spent hours on the balcony, with a superb view of the town, the
bay, Lesvos and spectacular sunsets! We have wandered through the
cobblestone streets and markets of Ayvalik, seeing the old Greek houses
and feeling nostalgia for years gone by while enjoying interactions
with the friendly people of today. Hope to return!
*** Allan and Phyllis, New York
Dear Shelagh and Ergin
You've completed a wonderful vacation for us. You've been terrific
hosts and made our stay in Ayvalik special.
*** Helen and Andy, UK
Dear Shelagh and Ergin
Thank
you for making this very much a home from home. All of your assistance
has been very much appreciated. Your little blue book has been a very
useful guide to the area. We have had a fabulous time.
*** Tracey & Theo from
SF, California:
Thank
you, thank you. We had a wonderful stay in your lovely home. The views
from the balcony, tastefully designed, everything we needed ... just
beautiful!
*** Gill & Alan
from the UK:
Thank you Ergin and
Shelagh.
A
fabulous week in your spectacular house; we have enjoyed the
friendliness of everyone we have met, the views from the balcony, the
pace of life, tasty fresh vegetables and fish, the welcome you have
given us. We leave here refreshed for Istanbul! But hope to be back one
day ... big love!
*** E & R, USA:
Mere
words seem inadequate to convey our feelings about our week in Shelagh
and Ergin's magical little hillside house. Everything we needed, or
could have wanted, was already there. Character oozed from every corner
of the accommodation. Thank you both for making this holiday seem far
too short. Most memorable experience? The warm welcome from Ergin and
Shelagh on our arrival.
***
Tom & Sam, from London:
What a wonderful house! Your attention to every detail has made our
stay perfect and we are sad to be leaving. Thank you!
***
Pam & Ibo from San Francisco, CA:
Thank
you Shelagh and Ergin for a relaxing week in your Holiday House.
Beautiful decor, cozy amenities and your wonderful hospitality made our
stay in Ayvalik very special. We feel fortunate to have crossed your
path and made two new friends. Thanks for the good conversations and
dondurma! Cheers
***
Petra & Gabor from Hungary:
What
a lovely house and garden with such a lovely owner couple! Thank you
very very much for everything dear Shelagh and Ergin. And once more for
all your kind help.
***
John & Jane Oakley from Tasmania:
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.
*** Ilja
& Diana from Hamburg, Germany:
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.
*** Jess & Sela, from
Wrexham, the UK:
Thanks so much
Ergin and Shelagh
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.
*** Jasmine
& Mohamad, from Washington DC, USA:
We're
so grateful to have had the chance to stay in your lovely home! The
relaxing environment, lovely view and attention to detail all help make
this a wonderful place to stay. And extra thanks for your kind help and
hospitality during our arrival. We would love to return. All the best.
*** Chris
& Jeanie, from Nottingham, the UK:
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.
*** Jane &
Roy Green, from Somerset, the UK:
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.
*** Ann
& Tom Atkins, from the UK:
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.
*** Toby
& Amanda, from Navada, USA:
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.
*** Fiona
& Tayfun, from Geneva, Switzerland:
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:
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
*** Nick &
Nay
from London, England:
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:
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. 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.
*** Elena
& Stefano from Bergamo, Italy:
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.
*** Nuri & Ipek from Istanbul:
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.
*** Martin
and Meredith from the UK and the USA:
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!
