About
The story of Manici Kasrı
A place to live within nature
Manici Kasrı sits in the heart of Yeşilyurt, a beautiful mountain village on Türkiye's untouched North Aegean coast, just 24 km from the ancient city of Assos. Home to some of the oldest civilisations and myths, this landscape lets visitors see for themselves why so many peoples made it their home.
The land between the Aegean Sea and the Kaz Mountains offers something in every season: a day at Manici Beach, jeep safaris in the mountains, walks through the pine forests and cultural trips to the ancient cities, all a short drive from the hotel.
Four hours by car from Istanbul and 40 km from Balıkesir Koca Seyit Airport, which has direct flights from Istanbul and Ankara, Manici Kasrı is well placed for rest and events away from the crowds.

Local stone and wood
The hotel was built by hand in the late 1990s from local stone and wood, as a reflection of its natural surroundings, and was completely renovated in 2019.
History
Yeşilyurt Village
Yeşilyurt is a historic village in the Ayvacık district of Çanakkale. It appears as "Büyükçetmi" in Turkish sources from 1946 and as "Büyük Çepni" in Greek sources from 1905. It is one of the settlements protected for its cultural and tourism value, and home to the historic Yeşilyurt Village Mosque.
Some of its characteristic houses, built with stone quarried in Nusratlı, now serve as boutique hotels. Village stalls are full of olive oil, thyme, honey, cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, and visitors love the olive-oil dishes and village breakfasts. The village also has a Technology Museum dating from the 18th century, with objects from the Ottoman period and around the world.
With its stone architecture and places to stay, Yeşilyurt offers a life close to nature and history, and is a stop for both sea and mountain travel.
