At a congress held in Karaburun, the potential of the region — especially the olive groves — caught our attention. When we realized that olive trees not only yield fruit but also offer wonderful shade, our dream of creating a peaceful living space in harmony with nature began to take shape. The desire to live in a seaside town had always been within us. During our journeys along the roads stretching from Mimas to Gülbahçe and then to Karaburun, we constantly imagined what such a place should look like.

That dream came true in 2021 with the establishment of Capo Glamping. Now, serving as Yusuf Özgür’s year-round home, Capo Glamping was designed for those who wish to experience the comfort of home while being immersed in nature.

With accommodation areas, a restaurant, and shared and private showers and toilets, Capo Glamping is located just 90 km from İzmir, on the Boyabağı coast of Karaburun. The site takes its name from Capo Caleberno, one of Karaburun’s historical names, and is surrounded by endemic plant life—just a 150-meter walk from the sea.

The entire Karaburun Peninsula, where Capo Glamping is located, is steeped in mythology, offering a landscape full of inspiration through its history and natural beauty.

The Iliad and the Odyssey
In the ancient Greek period, the famous poet Homer, who lived in Karaburun, referred to the region as "Mimas" in his epic works The Iliad and The Odyssey.

Today, when you wake up at Capo Glamping and look out from your tent in the morning, you’ll be greeted by Mount Bozdağ. In Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, this mountain is referred to as "Windy Mimas."

The story goes like this: Mimas, one of the giants who greatly angered Zeus, was turned into stone by him — and the resulting mountain took the name Mimas.
