Following a few days in Istanbul Naya provided the perfect sanctuary to kick back, relax and escape the tourist hordes. Only 90 mins from Istanbul, Naya is a short horse and cart ride from the ferry and we were soon ensconced in our lovely room with a large terrace overlooking the sea. The atmosphere that Ludwig and Micky have created... More

Four mothers four kids, and we had two days to be together. Naya was a perfect place to sleep well, wake up refreshed, even have a nice massage, welcoming view, happy kids stroll around the garden although the weather was rainy. Frogs, ducks, cats, Efe dog, beautiful smell of the Mimoza trees, a nice breakfast, open kitchen to prepare your... More

A wonderfully experience. Very welcoming, helpful and warm team. I checked in on my Birthday and it was very nicely acknowledged. By chance there were neighbours invited for dinner that night - I was just perfectly lively and interesting. The house is sumptuous and eccentric, very comfortable, spacious and bright. And the garden is simply magical! Over whole a beautiful... More

After a busy period of sightseeing in Istanbul, I took the 1.5 hour ferry ride to the island of Buyukada and spent three peaceful nights at the Naya B&B. Buyukada is an island that prohibits private cars, and so the only way to get to Naya with heavy baggage is to take a horse-drawn carriage taxi called a "fayton" from... More

We were looking to spend most of our Turkey holiday away from hustle and bustle of Istanbul, simply relaxing. And what a discovery Naya was! Just an hour away by boat on a relaxed island with no traffic. An old wooden villa with well appointed rooms, ours with a stunning view over the sea. What made it special, though, was... More

Love at first sight. The island Buyukada is very special place to begin with .. no traffic, just bicycles, horse-drawn carriages and very few little electric cars. The harbor area is busy but then you escape to the interior of the island and find this jewel. Basically it's an old villa set amidst beautifully and tastefully decorated gardens. But not... More

Buyukada feels like a private island despite the many visitors it attracts and thanks to its horse-drawn carriages and bicycles as the only permitted modes of transport the virtual lack of other modes of transport is sheer bliss. If one wishes to visit Istanbul for shopping or sightseeing there are plenty of boats ready to take one there every day.... More

My experience at Naya has been really good, such a lovely and cheerful place, where relax and tranquillity are guaranteed. Ludwig and Miki have been great hosts, very attentive and welcoming. Breakfast was lush, will definitely return to visit them :)

My daughter and I really loved Naya. We needed time out together and Naya was the perfect place. Peaceful, friendly and easy going. Ludwig was a perfect host, and on arrival offered us a lovely refreshing drink which was much appreciated after our hot journey. I just loved the house and gardens and our room. Breakfast was fresh, lots of... More
