    Çarpıcı stillerin geleneksel Türk mimarisi ile buluştuğu mekan / Ada Hotel

    Bodrum seyahatimin son duraklarından biri Türkiye’ nin tek Relais Chateux ünvanını kazanmış muhteşem Ada Hoteliydi. Osmanlı dönemi konusunda uzman Ahmet Iğdırlıgil’ in mimarisini ve stil sihirbazı Hakan Ezer’ in dekorasyonunu gerçekleştirdiği; tarihi dokunun ve estetiğin birleştiği bu mükemmel projenin beni adeta büyülediğini  itiraf etmeliyim. Gördüklerimi ve hakkında öğrendiklerimi sizlerle paylaşmak için heyecanlanıyorum…   Türkbükü sırtlarında…

  • Living in the hidden paradise

    Living in the hidden paradise

    I love the Turkish phrase of “a single cup of coffee can create friendship that lasts forever” (bir kahvenin kırk yıl hatırı vardır). I visited my friend Eren at her hidden paradise in Bodrum this summer and had one of my most tasteful Turkish coffee ceremony at her house. I must say she deserved the Turkish saying by her welcoming and…

    A contemporary Turkish retreat Sumahan Hotel on the water

    Here is one of my most favorite Hotel in Istanbul which has a characteristic style on his own, it is Sumahan on the water.  A good example of  late 19th century Ottoman  industrial architecture which surprisingly  is located right by the Bosphorus. A place used to distill Raki (a popular traditional Turkish alcohol drink), today opens its doors to people who…
