Amazing experience on Emine's farm! We worked very structured days which included early morning hours (to escape the heat) and this gave us great freedom to plan our free hours and go to the beach (10min walk). The work was tough but always rewarded with delicious meals and great conversations at the table. Emine shared a lot about Turkish culture and gave great recommendations for our days off. I recommend this to anyone who loves dogs, wants to get to know a local and immerse themselves in peaceful nature. Thank you Emine!

I recommend this woofing program at Emine's farm. Farming is really challenging, and fortunately the tasks were always different. So I did and learned a lot of things. I spent a week and it was really nice. Emine is really kind, funny and helpful. We had good conversations and the food was really delicious. The accommodation is really clean and pleasant. I had enough time in the afternoon to do things for myself and to rest (going to the beach, play cards with other volunteers, napping). So the balance between work and free time was nice. Hope you'll get a good harvest Emine ;) bye

My experience at Emine's farm was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time volunteering with Worldpackers and I couldn't have hoped a better one. The food is amazing, the place is beautiful and the work is rewarding. If you are looking for a culture exchange this experience is for you. You a completely immersed in the Turkish culture with lots of fascinating discussions with Emine.

Emine is a fair, communicative, interesting and funny host. I couldn't have asked for a better first world packing experience. Usually you work 5 hours per day, with as much done in the morning as possible. This leaves you with the afternoons to roam around the peninsula if you wish. I chose mostly to relax on the farm which was great. The accomodation is like its own little apartment which is good for privacy. The room and bathroom were very clean and tidy. And the food was always delicious (particularly breakfast…). Thank you again Emine.

It was my first time doing a work exchange and it was a great experience! The farm is beautiful, Emine is nice and funny, I ate like a queen, I learned a lot about farming, and the room was clean and comfortable. She made sure each of us was okay at all times, she respected the work schedules, and she gave us plenty of traveling tips in Turkey that made my life much easier. Highly recommend! 🌟

My experience in Emine's farm was great. Emine has things pretty well organized. Tasks were reasonable and explained on time. Emine was always given good suggestions about places to visit around and how to get there. She made it easy to move around since she gave us rides to the bus stops we needed. Emine cooked turkish food that was good and enough. We ate meals always together and had talks while eating, that was a nice time. The bedrooms are really comfortable, with nice natural light and views from the outside, and pretty cleans. Emine's dogs that we walked in the afternoons are loving.

10/10. This experience was awesome! The work was great and divers so you could always do something different. Emine was super nice we had great talks and laughs together and she would even help you with planning your off-days and help you get where you want to go. The food was delicious and Emine cooked new dishes everyday and she always asks if you want seconds and in your free time there was a lot you could visit. It's really a great experience I'd recommend to anyone because I totally loved it. Thanks for such a great time and I'm happy I got to be your 4th Worldpackers Volunteer.
