Asli and Koray are siblings that began vacationing in Çeşme as young children. Asli currently lives in the United States and Koray lives in Istanbul.

​

Asli purchased the land in Ovacık that is currently Zeytiny back in 2012.  The land was being used as an artichoke farm.  Asli had a vision to bring Agritourism to the Ovacık Çeşme area.

 

Asli and Koray's father Omer made many improvements to the land over the years including drilling a well, bringing electricity to the property, planting many olive trees and a small vineyard.

​

Asli and Koray decided to purchase two tiny houses and offer them as vacation rentals in 2022, and Zeytiny was born.
