casa
inlycia - consists
of two
village houses next to each other,
both around 80-100 years old.
They were renovated to suit the short-and long-term
stays of responsible travellers who would like to be on
their own in the midst of the calm,
wild nature of the West Tauruses. Gokceovacik, the
village where casa inLycia is located, is a
mountain village in the south-west corner of Turkey,
close to Göcek. People living in Gokceovacik lost their
economic base when the chrome mines in the region were
closed down. The aim of establishing Casa inLycia was to
develop a good example for the villagers so that they could
come to realize the natural and cultural values around them
and to put these to economic use. In the rehabilitation of
the houses, only the
local workmanship and local construction techniques
were used; the houses were not shaped
according to the habits of city-dwelling travellers,
opting instead for arrangements the villagers were
accustomed to and could therefore easily reproduce.
