T
he waters of the Fırtına river are bubbling noisily below these four charming wooden cottages, reached through a short forest path. Kodanitap is apparently an Armenian word meaning “flat place”. The owner added an “e” in front to signal his dedication to the environment. For those who enjoy the untouched and luxuriant nature of the Black Sea, this place is among the most comfortable in the region. The restaurant, full of books and pictures, has a cosy atmosphere and serves meals prepared with fresh garden produce. The owner left the big city, Istanbul, to return to his home region and work in tourism. He now runs an agency, Türkü Tur, and organises mountain hikes for the more adventurous among his guests. He also operates the Fora pension on the Ayder plateau.
