We have a new house in Dalaman, we have a road name but no house number-nor are we likely to ever get one. In order to direct deliveries or taxi's to our house we've got to give it a name. So far we've been calling it 'yabanci ev' as we're the only foreigners in the road but it doesn't have much of a ring to it, does it?
We would like to give it a nice name that's easy to say in both English and Turkish, Villa ?????
Any suggestions anyone?

Well don't call it peach tree villa. I believe that's a bit rude in Turkish!!! We had a bit of a job choosing ours and someone on here once said to call it the first thing you see when you move in. Any way we saw it and bought during a full moon and hence Villa Dolunay (full moon) we have 2 owls living on our roof so wish now it was Villa Baykus. What I really wanted was Deli Evi (crazy house) but the other half didn't like it! Don't know why I bothered though as every Turk around such as taxi drivers, water delivery men etc call it Janes house.

Well being a sentimental softie we have decided to call ours just "VIGLIETTI" nothing to do with turkish it was my mothers maiden name (italian).

What about a favorite tree or flower that you like or a memorable place? Just a suggestion as we named ours because it was the place we got married.

Thanks Folks,

I did think of one but I need to know if it makes sense. We lived in a place called 'Rosehill' and we were very happy there-hence the 'nom de plume' I have.
This, I think, translates into 'Gultepe' in Turkish-have I got this right and does it make sense, sometimes things don't say what you think they do?

Cheers

Gultepe is fine Ann (strictly speaking Gültepe) - there's a district in Istanbul called that.

My wife's decided our place should be called "Kartaltepe" (eagle hill), because most days we get a few eagles soaring around us.
