I had such a great time here! Serkan is very friendly, cool and full of joy, I enjoyed the company of his parents Fevziye teyze and Mehmet amca, they made me feel like home and helped practice Turkish and improve my skills. I enjoyed the delicious food, and got to discover the real local life and the beautiful Datça, I recommend this host if you're into warm family atmosphere and small town vibes. Hope to come back next summer.

This experience was like no other, a new adventure each day from boats to parties to tours. You will need lots of energy to keep up with Serkan! It was a great laugh and highly recommended to anyone who wants to live a life they didn't think was possible. Getting to work along side his mum was a treat, she is the sweetest woman ever and I miss her so much already.

I felt incredibly comfortable with Serkan and his parents. They were extremely hospitable and took great care of me, making me feel like part of the family from the very beginning. We saw a lot of the city and went on amazing trips together. The days on the home boat were especially impressive - the fishing and snorkeling were unforgettable experiences! The time spent with Serkan and his family was simply wonderful, and I can only recommend it. I'm already looking forward to seeing them again!

I had an amazing time at the home! Felt very welcomed by his family and into the community within the area. A really fantastic space and Serkan made a huge effort to show me different places and meet new people. I really enjoyed helping his family at home, but also had more than enough free time to check out the local area. Great experience overall!
