About Suleyman's Garden

Suleyman's Garden is set in a stunning location overlooking the Mediterranean sea and islands, with swimming from a rocky cove only a few minutes walk away and not far from a lovely beach too. It is in a very unspoiled area, on what is known as the 'Lycian Way', a trail which is wonderful for walking on the dramatic and mountainous coastline.

The venue itself is a very charming small traditional farm of terraces, vegetable fields, orchards and beautiful gardens. The flower strewn cabins sit within the gardens and there's also a lovely small swimming pool in a natural setting with views over the terraces to the sea. The local owners grow all their own organic vegetables and fruit on the land which is used in the kitchen to make truly delicious meals.
 
The daily programme

Each day will begin with early morning meditation and pranayama in the yoga shala overlooking the sea. This will be followed by a two hour asana class. Gently opening the body and attuning the mind to the breath, the class will slowly move and build into a flowing and dynamic sequence, always incorporating the cultivation of awareness, physical alignment and breath. The classes will be suitable for all levels and yoga experience.

There will be time set aside in the day to explore and take in the stunning beauty of the surroundings. The group will meet again in the late afternoon for a second yoga session which will be a more gentle class for one and a half hours. Classes will begin on the morning of 23rd July and there will be one yoga free day during the week.

 
Things to do

Throughout each day you will be offered three delicious meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner using the locally grown organic produce. Between yoga classes there will be plenty of time for swimming in the sea, relaxing by the pool or taking beautiful walks along The Lycian Way to hidden beaches, a marked trail with incredible coast and mountain views.

There is a nearby rocky cove perfect for swimming or Kabak beach just 20 minutes away by jeep. Boat trips can also be arranged along the fabulous coast to a deserted beach.

If the peace and quiet gets a bit too much, the lively resort of Olu Deniz is only 15 minutes away with shops, bars, restaurants and a fabulous beach, paragliding, horse riding, and diving.
