自我介绍

I, Ahmet, was born and raised in Kas. I love my country and my hometown and I plan to continue to live in Kas as long as I can! Marie is Belgian (from the French speaking part of Belgium) and her first trip to Turkey dates back to 2005. Every year, we have hundreds of visitors who ask us ‘What’s your story?” “Marie, what brought you to Kas?” Well, here it is : Ahmet and I met in Kas in 2005 when I was traveling through Turkey for the first time with two friends. At the time, I was staying in a small pension that was run by Ahmet, a pension that his parents first established in the 1980s when tourism started to develop in Kas. He has been in the hospitality business since he was a child, helping his parents run their pension. Later on he purchased a building in the same neighborhood, and created the “Hideaway Hotel”. As for me, after many trips between Belgium and Kas, and later on between Kas and Ankara where I worked as a French teacher, in June 2007 I decided to move to Kas permanently and we started to run the business together. Later on, we bought the penthouse apartment and rent it to other travelers. We got married in October 2008 and continue to work together since then. We both love traveling over the world with our children in the winter, and when we cannot travel because the hotel keeps us busy, we feel lucky to meet other travelers who want to share their stories and culture with us.
