We are a family of four. I am an English teacher at a state university in Izmir, Turkey .My husband is an architect. Our twins are 26 years old. They sometimes join us when visiting different parts of the world.
We have had 11 exchanges since 2012. Some of them are still members of Homelink but I think some of them did not renew their membership during the Corona Virus Pandemic. That's why I'm going to write the dates and the names of our exchange partners because some of them can't be found in the listings.

Read More...We all thoroughly enjoyed our time in Emel and Onder's home. The location was perfect, right in front of a nice beach, beside a friendly little shop for immediate supplies, and walking distance from loads of restaurants and bigger shops. The family is very warm and caring, and were so helpful to us and kept in touch through the holidays. We are very glad we had the opportunity to meet the family before they left our Island - we felt we knew them as family. Turkey was amazing - and the home is close to some breathtaking sites - Ephesus is less than an hour's drive, and the 'House of the Virgin Mary' is nearby too. Thank You, Emel and Onder, love and best wishes from the Cowichan Valley. xxx

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours
It is a quiet and well-organized neighborhood. Everything you may need in a suumer house is within easy reach.The sea is in front of you. The neighbors are hepful and understanding. There is a small shop cafe just opposite the house.You can buy bread,icecream, hamburgers,drinks,snacks etc there. At the weekends some people from Izmir come to the public beach but other days it is calm and nice. many people can speak German and English. All our exchange partners loved the area. Public transport is available, buses and minibuses frequently run on the main street which is a few minutes from the house. there are many restaurants ,cafes,open air bazaar every night and for day time once a week.One of our swappees has some suggestions for new guests:Dolmus(minibus) is easy and cheap to use , just flag down wherever you are.They have destinations written on the front window.Use them to go to the 3 km toUrkmez.Selcuk is easy to get by dolmus(1 hour),the museum is very close to the bus station.

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer
As I wrote before one of our guests has some suggestions to save other swappees a few days orientation. The bakery is great and parallel to the house on the main road..The small restaurant (Yildirim Pide Salonu) a little further up the road is lovely for simple food. The easiest supermarket Tansas, is simply got to by going out of the house towards the sea, turning left and walking to the end of the car park, then left to the main street and right a small way down the street. In Selcuk there is a great market on Saturday right into the evening. Lunch is really good at the Boomerang Garden Restaurant. Day trips from Selcuk from Selcuk include Ephesus (EFES),Sirince. Selcuk is a transport hub, you can take trips to Pamukkale (Melrose house hotel is good to stay there) Stay for a few days, there are lots to see there with Hieropolis and day trips to Aphrodisias. Bus cards (for numbered large buses) can be bought in Urkmez at the Suna market.

Ce qu'on apprécie, ce qu'on apprécie moins… Voici nos préférences et nos règles de maison.
Please check our exchange preferences below
Firstly,since it is a beach house it is very easy to bring sand with you when you are returning to the house. Please make sure that you don't bring any sand into the house and bathrooms or showers.Sand may cause blockage in the water pipes and will definitely cause trouble. Secondly some plants need to be watered regularly outside the house. There is an automatic watering system in the garden but there are some plants which can't get advantage of it. Thirdly,please turn off the air conditioning when you leave the house .
