Far from the city, close to yourself
Our paths crossed around shared values — timeless elegance, freedom and a bond with nature. On the roads beyond the city, the character of Mercedes-Benz met a world that lives inside the landscape. One star travels the road; thousands light the night.
“Şehirden uzak, kendine yakın” · the line that framed it allThe Weekend
The new all-electric GLC and GLB came to Faralya for a weekend at Perdue, shared with Travel+Leisure Türkiye: drives along the hairpin roads above the coast, the convoy slipping between pine and limestone, and the sea opening up at every bend.
When the cars were parked, the weekend slowed to Perdue’s pace. Chef Ulaş Durmaz, recipient of the 2024 Michelin Young Chef Award, cooked a tasting menu from the region’s fresh, local produce; guests made their own designs in an eco-print workshop with colours and plants taken from nature; and the evening ended with sunset rituals facing Butterfly Valley.
A star on the road
In August, a film followed the road down to Perdue: the coastline from above, the switchbacks through the forest, a car resting beneath a timber pergola — and then the hotel itself, from the stone pools and the tents on the cliff to a long table set by the water.
It ends where every day here ends: the sun dropping through the pines, and the line that framed the whole partnership — far from the city, close to yourself.

Every arrival a little closer
A second film carried the partnership across the whole of Soulsetters — from the sign at Rups by the sea to the gardens of Perdue and Nautical, where the three-pointed star turns up among oleanders, on a wooden table marker, in the branches overhead.
Every journey becomes a new view; every arrival, a step closer to yourself.
