Great post, great photos. Thanks and cheers from Turkey :)

Just one correction: Right under the title "The Boat" and under the first picture it says: "This is the view from the ancient castle above Kas." But it is actually Kekova.

Hope you come back and explore more :)

wow... i had no idea this could be an issue. for the ones who has/can create the space to let clothes dry on their own, i really do not understand why they use another machine to dry them. there is probably one or two family i had known till today who had a drying machine at home.
wow... to my own amazement...
in addition to many comments here, i would like to add the humidity aspect. especially since it is winter on the northern hemisphere, we need more humidity. drying your laundry inside will soften the air of your apartment, which is good for your skin and breath -unless you have very tender medical problems. curtains for instance, you can hang them back as soon as you take them out from the washing machine. drying machine and iron are out. plus you have more time.
it is just that we are all responsible for the amount of electricity that is needed to be produced for certain conveniences in our lives. and the energy to produce that electricity. and water of course...

at certain points i believe the saying goes as, saving the world one machine at a time.

this was like an off the beaten track journey. maybe on foot, maybe on a bike... but slow and kinda "old school", giving time for details. beautiful :)

i have no new comment to add to the coziness, welcomingness and usefulness of this kitchen; nor to the enthusiastic appeal of its dwellers. however, seeing the very same peppermill (slideshow no.8) we use here in Ankara, Turkey, reading lentil (is it common over there too?) and plain yogurt (well no westerner i have known so far liked this :)) in the recipe, i cannot help but wonder, have you been to Turkey? or around here? or is it just your own curiosity about the cuisine? thank you.

this house is making me write my first comment at AT, though i've been following the site on a daily basis for over a year now.

this is the one tour, from probably hundreds i've strolled so far, that i never wanted it to end.

photographs convey a serene and happy house.
poetic. thank you.
