In the fast growing and structuring Olympos where crowds of people have increasingly been coming in higher numbers in the last few years, Daphne Holiday Home is the one and only that has not increased but actually decreased the number of its rooms in the last 6 years. The hosts, Bülent and Refiye, left Istanbul for Olympos when Olympos was enjoying its peak years in terms of nature and atmosphere, and deceded to build themselves a home after trying a series of jobs including waiter, DJ, bar tender, Internet specialist, trekking guide, cook’s helper, etc. They bought themselves a piece of land in the depths of the forest, and they did their best to build their home as long as their finances allowed... well, yes, it took them 3 years to complete their home, but it was quite a satisfactory result indeed.
They created a cosy place and opened their doors wide for their friends, who are welcome to experience the Daphne Home as their own home. That’s why you feel the very pleasure, comfort and luxury that your actual home provides you while you enjoy your holiday at Daphne Home.
This is obviously the right place for those who prefer enriching their holiday with simple pastimes. Many visitors have left the traces of their activities. Some have made paintings on fig leaves, some have created wind-bells with sea shells... Bulent will surely embrace you if you prefer harder work like wood cutting, driving nails, or watering the garden...
The food will definitely satisfy you as well as your digestive system - loads of organic vegetables and greens will refresh you! You will get addicted to Refi’s homemade jams bursting with flavors for the breakfast, and still hot cakes and biscuits for the afternoon tea.…..
The best part is that there are only 6 rooms at the Daphne House, and this creates the intimate and cosy atmosphere in this house with somewhat small yet ultimately clean, comfortable and elegant rooms, where they have made every little detail with their own hands...
The stone house celebrates every season: cool in summer, warm and romantic in winter!
In the large garden where guests rest and read their books under the six bowers and on the hammocks in the shadow of huge pine trees, listening to the sound of the forest, and at times, to good music.
As there are no businesses near the Daphne House, there is no crowd or noisy music to disturb you. |
