Where the flamingosspend the winter

Boğaziçi sits on the Güllük Gulf, between a fishing harbour and a lagoon.

Down the hill, Boğaziçi is still a fishing village. Boats tie up along the shore, and the fish restaurants beside them cook the day's catch.

Each winter, from about November until April, flamingos gather on the Tuzla lagoon at the foot of the village. They are the reason for the flamingo on our gate.

History is close by too. The ruins of Bargylia, a city of ancient Caria, lie at the edge of the village, and Iasos stands on a headland across the gulf.

White volumes step down the slope on a base of stacked stone, with warm wood-tone slats and wide glazed corners. Terraces and balconies look out over the gardens and the valley.

Film: a glide along a lawn past a palm and magenta bougainvillea, towards the valley view.

04 The gardens

A gardenof your own

Lawn, palms, olive trees and bougainvillea behind a low fence. In this climate the garden is another room for most of the year.

Film, illustrative interior: a slow push towards a dining table, with sun through sheer curtains.

The pool is shared by the residents, and at sunset it holds the whole sky.
