About us
A beachfront holiday village at the foot of Mount Ida, built on the principle of using nature while protecting it.
A holiday village in the heart of nature
At the foot of the Kazdağları (Mount Ida) range, with 21% oxygen and 50% humidity, our village offers conditions that are ideal for human wellbeing. Right on the shore in the heart of nature, with wide gardens set among olive and fruit trees, walking paths and low-rise architecture, it welcomes guests all year round. Because it was built with a firm commitment to using nature wisely — the principle of “use it while protecting it” — it stands as an exemplary holiday village.
Every building on the property has two storeys. Instead of tall blocks, low buildings are spread through the garden, making a settlement you walk through among the trees. From your room to the pool, from the beach to the tennis courts, everything is within walking distance; the apartment windows look out over green walking gardens and the sea.
Our own garden, our own olive oil
Some of the vegetables and fruit used in our kitchen comes from the property’s own garden, and the olives and olive oil are our own production too. The endemic herbs of Mount Ida and the stone oven round out the plain flavours of Aegean and Mediterranean cooking.

Where our name comes from
Legend has it that the world’s first beauty contest took place on Mount Ida — the range known today as Kazdağları — and that the golden apple was given to Aphrodite. The property takes its name from that story.
