Handan & Sezer SONGÜR
  Handan & Sezer SONGÜR
We are a retired couple. My wife, Handan (57), was an art teacher and I, Sezer (67), am also on pension as a middle sized business - man. We have two children. Our daughter, Hande (32), is a city planner and she is living in Ankara. Our son, Serdar (35),  is  an architect and is living in Vienna, Austria. Since our last update to this site our family became 2 new members, Su (3) and Güney (1+) and we are now offically Grandparents.
  After this phase in our lives, the children flying on their own and leading their own lives,  we started travelling more. Our short holidays became real travels, getting more detailed and longer. Other than these travels, to Singapore, Malasia, Egypt, Tailand, Cuba, various cities in Europe like Spain, France, Holland, Austria, in the last ten years we made over 20 home-exchanges. We exchanged houses with families from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Stockholm, Niece, Budapest, Praque, Madrid, Barcelona, Basel,  Bahamas, Amsterdam, Brussels and Bratislava just to name a few cities we have been to. We also have many regular visitors who are renting our loft everytime of the year.
   All of these have been exhilarating experiences and we hope to continue on...

Personal Information
Our hometown, Antalya, situated on the south coast of Turkey, is famous not only for it's beaches, the crystal clear sea, natural amenities and climate, but also for the historical sites that it has. The area around Antalya is full of places from which one-days trips may be made to ancient Lycian, Pisidan and Pamphylian sites: Termassos, located amidst the lofty peaks above Antalya; Perge, located 17 km's, Aspendos just 49 km's and Side located 80 along the road to Alanya. A marvelous archaelogical site, Phaselis, where one can walk through the history itself surrounded by a pine forest on a beach. 
   Also, as being the 4th biggest city in Turkey, Antalya has all the facilities and activities one can wish, golf and tennis courts, public swimming pools, cinemas, shopping malls, night clubs, bars and shows. Not to forget 300 sunny days a year.

Old City, Antalya
Beaches, Antalya
The apartment flat that we use for our guests and exchange is located at the western region of the city. It is just 300 meters from the beach. Because of being on the 8th floor of the apartment (there is an elevator), our loft has a spectecular view of the sea, mountains and the city. The terrace is 25 m2 with a barbeque and there is a bedroom with a double bed, an open kitchen with dishwasher, stove, oven,refrigrator  a bathroom with shower, toilet, 24 hours hot water and washing machine, a 30 m2 living room in the flat. There is also a Hi-fi unit, TV, satellite unit, telephone and aircondition unit (with both hot and cold air capability) present in our flat. A total of 3 person can use the flat, and if necessary we can provide a portable bed for one more person.
  We live at the 7th floor of the same apartment. If a family of 4-6 person offers an exchange we would be glad to provide this flat instead of the loft. Because of having these 2 flats we can have a simultaneous exchange or a seperate one on different dates. The exchange dates and destinations are open for us. The more the merrier.
 
If you are not interested in home-exchange our flat is also open for renting. Please do contact us for any further questions, information and requests.
