ACCOMMODATION

This year the yoga courses will be based at the Ece Resort or the Babana hotels. The Ece is set in a mandarine grove 10 minutes walk from the sea. Its rooms have French windows opening into the garden and it has a swimming pool. The owner is Mr Erkan, who lives half the time in England. Our guests appreciate his friendly attentiveness and hospitality very much. 

The Babana is a recently refurbished hotel on the seafront and more interesting architectural design than most.  It is the closest of the hotels to our yoga centre. Both of these hotels and others which we may sometimes use have twin rooms with en suite shower and loo and they all have air-conditioning.

During yoga retreats lunch and 4 evening meals will be served at the Yoga Centre and breakfast will be at the hotel. On Mondays there will be no evening meal provided as this is the travelling day. On the other 2 evenings, when there is no yoga class, our guests like to visit Bodrum or sample the local cuisine on the seaside in the village or in Türkbükü.

Each yoga course will be allocated to a certain hotel. Ece Resort (Tel: 0090 252 357 7388 www.eceresort.com); Babana (Tel: 0090 252 357 7198  www.paloma-group.com/palbabt.htm) Don't miss the 'Foto Galeri' at the bottom of that page. Sultan (Tel: 0090 252 357 7260)

Cottage There is also the possibility of staying in a small cottage just on the edge of the woods, ten minutes from our house.  This would suit 2 or 3 people sharing as there is a supplement to use it. For more details, click on the picture.

ADVICE TO VISITORS

In July and August Gölköy and Türkbükü is a very popular area for Istanbul Turks. They fill the hotels and their summer houses and the atmosphere of the village changes from peaceful to more a lively and party-going style. For this reason we have currently decided not to run any courses in the high season.

Please remember to bring your mosquito repellant, sunglasses, sun hat, protection cream, walking shoes and torch. And your yoga mat!
