My work: Medical Doctor and Actress
Speaks Chinese, English, and Turkish
We are a family of 4. Kerem, Filiz, our son Ozan and our daughter Deniz. Kerem is a doctor and working as an acupuncturist now. Kerem, with his friends, master hands from the village (one of them is Hayri) and Filiz who is an actress, together designed and renovated the house with their own tastes, with their own hands. After debating many ideas now it has turned out to be what you see on the photos. As the meaning of Anitya is ‘impermanence’, that nothing is permanent and fixed in life, everything is continuously changing in the flux; Anitya Cave House will change with your existence, as it will change our own lives also. Experiencing to live in a cave which had kept all the histories and life energies in it and feeling the strength-softness-peace all together will be unforgettable. It has changed our life, we are learning a lot and we would like to share this special feeling with you. We would be glad to welcome you in our house with an open heart and full of love… Usually because of our jobs our dearest friend Hayri is taking care of everything. He is fun and friendly. He will love to help you about everything. ——————————————————————— We are a family of 4. Kerem, Filiz, our son Ozan and our daughter Deniz. Kerem is a doctor and currently works as an acupuncturist. Years ago, Kerem, his friends, the masters of the area (one of them is Hayri), and his wife Filiz, a theatre actor, who designed and renovated the houses for their own tastes. After many plans and conversions, it was the final version you see in the photos. Anitya's meaning is' temporaryness', a Sanskrit word that says that nothing is permanent and fixed in life, that everything changes in constant flow; as this simple word that expresses our perspective, Anitya Cave House will change and improve us as you shape your presence. In a cave that has preserved all the historical and life energies in it, an experience where you will experience resilience-softness- peace together will be unforgettable. It has changed our lives. We are still learning a lot and we want to share these special feelings and feelings with you. We are happy to share our homes with you with all our heart and love.
