Taş Avlu Otel

Bozcaada, where most of the beauty is right in front of the eyes of those who come and go, and there is no end to the things worth seeing... A special example of how diversity can turn into homogeneity. With its untouched bays, ever-blowing gale force winds, delicious wines and cobblestone streets, it fully justifies a visit. It is one of the places to visit frequently. It gives you pleasure in summer and winter. No matter how many times you've been here, each time feels like a new discovery, a new encounter with a new place. We will tell you about the Avlu Houses, which are a unique whole in its architectural heritage that adds perspective to everyone who thinks in terms of the desire to stay everywhere and go everywhere. This is an unexpected surprise of Bozcaada. It is a place that attracts attention with its proper proportion and dignified appearance in the center of the island. Its interior texture is well preserved. It has been adapted to modern use without demolishing and rebuilding. It has been restored in a careful and simple style. The rooms with high vaulted ceilings have not been unnecessarily "modernized". The very comfortable and very pleasant rooms with the art of living are all self-contained, which is not an insignificant advantage. Squeaky cupboards, wooden decorations... I think their old spirit remains. Silence is absolute in the gardens with plenty of trees. At Avlu, we once again saw with our own eyes the aesthetic flexibility of the style and the complementary value of the expression achieved by the density of the material alone... At breakfast, they create wonders in the kitchen. Everything is from their garden. Tomatoes and cucumbers picked in the morning taste different. At afternoon tea, you can enjoy whatever flavor you are lucky enough to have that day: poppy seed cake, gum mastic custard, cheescake...
