Carku Guesthouse

Michael (Mehill) Tcharkoo (Carku)

Nona Age, her visiting daughters, her son Mehill and his wife Valbona will make sure that during your stay at Carku House you will sample the very best of delicious homemade dairy products, honey, meat, bread and enjoy a variety of healthy meals, keeping the age-old gastronomic traditions of the region alive.

A visit to Theth offers insights on how man has succeeded in striking a balance with nature despite harsh living conditions. Theth people will only offer what they grow, and prepare a cup of tea from herbs they have picked from the surrounding meadows. The Carkus, like the other families offering rooms in this area, are true community leaders who by their example and effort are able to demonstrate to the community the immense potential they have to offer. It is by visiting each other, by discussing and witnessing, that highlanders are gaining experience and vision, and the role of the listed families is crucial in opening up a whole new perspective for this mountainous region.

The Carku family was the first to open its doors to visitors during the rough period of the late nineties, when the first community tourism projects were initiated. Guests will find the perfect guide in Nona Age, who will recount interesting stories of her children, now grown men and women who attended schools in the big city and made it there, enabling them to gain a better understanding of the role of this family in the local community.
