This villa is home
and we invite you here
this summer to experience
living like a local in Kaş.
Jordan is an ocean engineer and expedition traveler whose life has revolved around water and exploration. He has crossed the Atlantic twice, worked aboard ships in Alaska, guided diving trips along the Turkish coast, and spent much of his adult life moving between mountains and sea. Kaş has remained a constant throughout those travels. Through Likya Scholars, Jordan shares the place that first sparked his curiosity about the world, and he is excited to share his experiences with you, starting with Turkish culture and history.
Ece studied biology and completed her master’s degree in Berlin before returning to the coast she grew up visiting as a child. Today she lives in Kaş and is now works in tourism. Ece tries learn more everyday about the history and region so she can share this information with others. She is naturally warm and thoughtful, and has a gift for bringing people together. For guests, Ece often becomes the bridge into daily life in town introducing the people, places, and small moments that make Kaş feel like home.
