The whole team will stay at our beach house in Altınova about 30 minutes drive to the orchards. We have breakfast at home every morning than go to olive picking area and have packed lunch there pick olives all day. We provide dinner at home. This position is all about olives.

I don't have enough words to say how amazing this volunteering has been. The tasks were diverse and really interesting; I gave a hand in the farm, around the house and in the restaurant, helping in cleaning, setting tables and keeping all tidy. I learned a lot about Turkish culture, the daily life and the farm food! Asli is a wonderful woman; she made me feel at home and showed me all about their culture. All the people were truly kind with me, making me feel part of the group, even if I couldn't speak the language. I recommend 100%!! Teşekkürler ♡

Honestly, such an amazing experience ✨ Asly is a great host and a really kind person. The house is beautiful, the vineyard is just stunning, and the people you work with are always super helpful. The food is also sooo good, and you get to try new things all the time. The only thing I'd say could be better is the organization of the work schedule, but other than that, everything was great. You learn a lot, have a really nice time, and they're always there if you need anything. Definitely a place I'd recommend! 🌿🍇☕

Johana stayed with us in March, she was a very pleasant lady and helped us with a smiling face all the time. It was nice to have her around ı would recommend her to other hosts. The only thing I would say would be she needs to improve her English.

I had a really interesting two weeks staying with Asli. Work was split between the farm at the house and waitressing at the restaurant on the vinyard nearby (most of the work was here but I think it varies). The work was very easy and I had lots of free time. There wasn't a lot of communication around when and where I would be working but there were some unforeseen circumstances at the time that meant everything was a little up in the air so that was ok. The food being prepared is amazing, both the winery and Asli's place are beautiful and there is a supermarket just down the road.

Asli has a wonderful home and it was inspiring to watch her run her business. The rest of the team is kind, funny, and you'll learn a lot about working in a kitchen and eat lots of good food. Location is so beautiful, full of nice beaches and Turkey's public transport is pretty easy to navigate + you'll get a ride when possible. Hours are good, agreed upon and I liked the work. Beautiful, balanced experience that I would recommend and do again.

Had a great time at Asli's. Got to learn loads about Turkish food, politics, language and culture. Worked both in the house helping with the farm, and waitering at the restaurant. This place is ideal for you, if you have a background in food, and wanna get to know the Mediterranean cuisine!
