Accommodation
There is a choice of accommodation, guests wishing to share will be booked into simple traditional rustic Anatolian style houses, built using natural materials. Each building has two spacious twin or double bedded rooms, with ensuite bathrooms and views over looking the bay. Single guests will be matched with a room mate in the twin rooms or can take single occupancy of a secluded log cabin with private ensuite facilities. Guests should specify on their booking forms which option they prefer, however single log cabins cannot be guaranteed and will be allocated on a first come first served requested basis as there are only 4. (We advise early booking if you require a single room)
