VEGI-VENTURES-Turkey

 

Yuva, Aegean Eco-Holidays

Since founding VegiVentures in 1989, I have searched for the perfect

holiday location: a quiet setting, off the beaten track, by the sea,

with comfortable accommodation, genuine local culture, delicious

vegetarian/vegan food and with all these features in mind the lowest

cost possible. Yuva, an eco-holiday village in the mountains right by

the sea, offers all this. - Yuva is part of a wider project including

an organic food business, exporting organic products such as their

delicious wood-fire roasted tahini, pekmez (pure mulberry syrup) and

bulghur.

Turkish baths, archaeological excursions, boat trips...

You can visit Yuva at any time; the cost is GBpounds 225. We are also
