The first hotel was just pas the village of Karadut, close to the Nemrut monument. The setting of the hotel was very rural, with cows 'mowing the lawn'; yet the hotel had wireless network!




The hotel is run in parallel to more regular agricultural business. During our short stay, the family running the hotel mowed the grass for hay, to prepare for winter. I was invited to practice on the local way of drying the grass.
