A wonderful week in unique surroundings. I am returning with memories of the lovely wild Karpas, swimming in azure seas, eating bread straight from the wood fired oven, visiting the village school, cycling the lanes and of course meeting the lovely characters of the village, far too many to mention. I even got to love the 5am call to prayer! Thank you for introducing us to your little piece of heaven.
Nicole Jacob September 2007 - Just to say thankyou for our wonderful week in Buyukkonuk. All was fantastic - the house was great with everything and more we needed. It was so nice being in a village to catch a glimpse of local life. Everyone was so freindly and kind to us. Lois was wonderful too. We just wished we had had more time as the week went by in a flash but that just means we'll have to return to do all the things we couldn't this time. Kindest regards Nicole and Steve'
