Welcome
Welcome to Manici Çiftlik
Manici Çiftlik is a farm hotel on 250 dönüm (about 25 hectares) in Ayvacık, Çanakkale, near Assos: villas and safari tents, a dairy working with the milk of our own Jersey cows and goats, a vegetable garden and Chef Mehmet Erman Koru's Hasat Restaurant.
Respect for nature comes first for us: we take steps towards a sustainable future and follow recycling policies that keep our environmental footprint as small as possible.
On a journey from Assos to Yeşilyurt, from Behramkale to the Ancient Harbour, we look forward to welcoming you to Manici Çiftlik to discover the nature and local life of Çanakkale.
Stay
Villas and safari tents
At Manici Çiftlik you stay in villas and safari tents spread across the farm. Each one sits in nature and was furnished with recycled and sustainable materials, with its own terrace, a king-size bed and a view of the mountains.
From farm to table
Hasat Restoran
On the slopes of the Kaz Mountains (Mount Ida), Manici Çiftlik is a place that lives in step with nature. The journey begins in the vegetable garden, continues in the dairy and ends in the kitchen of Hasat Restaurant. A cycle that comes from the soil, takes shape in the dairy and finds its meaning in the kitchen: its name is Hasat, the harvest.
The kitchen is led by Chef Mehmet Erman Koru. Bread, sauces and charcuterie are made in-house; the menu changes with the seasons.
Manici Dairy
The farm’s cheeses
Every cheese comes from somewhere.
Sixteen cheeses and dairy products from the milk of our own Jersey cows and goats: Assos, Tunç, Manici Blue, İnkaya, Kök, Teke, Alaca, Kara Keçi, burrata, stracciatella, çökelek, lor, butter, kaymak and yoğurt.
