Yasim is the best. She was beyond expectations. I ask her two hundred questions each day and she answered with such dignity and meticulously each time. I am not sure we could have had such a wonderful time if it was not because of her and her husband.
The location is far from Istanbul, though. we had to pay between 1500 to 2000 Turkish Lyra for a one way transit. Later we learned about public transportation and Silivri which is a small town close enough for daily grocery shopping with some nice stores and restaurants. Since we hadn't planned to go to museums and historic sights, due to last visits to Istanbul it was not a huge issue for us. We had a gorgeous beach for us which we enjoyed the most. We were there out of season, I believe it could have been much more fun during summer.
We enjoyed a lot and I have to emphesise Yesim is the best host you could wish for. Thanks
