Hi Eric,
Philip and myself got back safely. Thank you so much for the fantastic time
we had in Gallipoli and especially for the wonderful hospitality of The
Gallipoli Houses. Ozlem's food was wonderful and your company over the week
was one of the best times.
Will talk soon.
Regards,
Mike

Dear Özlem & Eric,
The accommodation was first class. Indeed, it was so very comfortable that I
now realize that we need a new mattress for the bed at home. The room and
its view were an idyll of peace and tranquility. The modern plumbing was a
great relief and a superb tonic after a long, hot day's walk over the
battlefields. Ozlem's food was a delight, with ample portions and a terrific
variety throughout the week. It was also well complimented by Eric's
thoughtful choices and recommendations from the cellar.
Thanks to you Eric, for your personal attention and for the time off which
you devoted to us to ensuring we did not miss any important feature of the
1915 campaign. And thanks to you Özlem for all the extra details which you
took care of for us; the bookings in Turkish for the coach, ferry, etc. The
wonderful memories of this vacation will stay with me for a very long time
to come and your part in it has been incalculable. You guys have spoilt me
for the future; There is only one way to see Gallipoli – The Gallipoli
Houses way
Very best regards

I just wanted to say thank you. It was one of the strangest holidays I have
ever been on and one of the best. What you have done and are doing is a
wonderful thing. You have a wonderful philosophy. I hope you are never
forced to change it. I am still dreaming about the place. And I know I will
have flash-backs all my life. The food was wonderful and please thank your
wife for looking after me on the phone and re booking my flight. I have now
joined the Royal Dublin Fusiliers 95 years later. Maybe we’ll see you at
Christmas. It was lovely to meet you. Thanks for looking after us so well.
All the best

Dear Eric,
I hope that this finds Özlem and you keeping well. …. Secondly, and most
importantly, thank you for an amazing holiday. The Gallipoli Houses passed
my wildest imagination. Everything was perfect: Kind and helpful owners, a
great setting, very interesting conversation, amazing food and wine, advice
from a guy who knows the ground. And all at a very reasonable price. On
top of that, it wasn’t really like staying in a hotel. It was more like
staying with friends. And we were blessed with the weather. Absolute
heaven! Eric, it was one of the best holidays I’ve had in my life. I will
certainly advise anyone going to Gallipoli to stay with you. …I presume that
things are getting busy for you in the run up to 25 April. Good luck with
this. I hope all goes well for you and Özlem and that you have a great
season. Hopefully we’ll see you at the Christmas party in eight months time.
Thanks again for an amazing holiday.
One of your Irish pals,
