ekstrahayatabout us

“değer”lerin buluşma noktası..
where values meet..

ekstrahayat is a platform for life and experiences, building carefully chosen experiences and meaningful gatherings.. we're not here to gather crowds..; we bring the right people together with those looking for what's right..

where people with a story and people looking for a story come together, that's where we are..
ekstrahayat · who we are

at any time.. in any place..
with any group of people, something can be done..

we exist to turn exactly that “anything” into a story..
and so we ask..; what's your story..?

if you have a story, don't wait..
let's bring it to life..
if not, “let us write one for you..”

ekstrahayat is here for this..

not more.. just better..

  1. 01 · choicewe chose..

    not because it's expensive, crowded or showy, but because we can say in one sentence why it was chosen..

  2. 02 · trialwe tried it..

    we go first..; we see the preparation, the host and the backup plan for ourselves..

  3. 03 · gatheringwe brought it together..

    the right people and those looking for what's right, at the same table, on the same boat, on the same road..

what does “değer” mean..?

not material status..

it should be worth doing..value is the care we give to time and the worth of a moment shared..

  • care for time

    something good in little time..; preparation, not hurry..

  • openness to learning

    something new each time..; a master, a guest, a place..

  • mutual respect

    we're selective but never exclusive..; curiosity is our measure, not status..

  • privacy

    who came and what was said stays with us unless you agree otherwise..

  • the value of the moment

    time spent together becomes a story worth telling later..

all 24 hours of the day

not night or day..

the four blades of our logo are the four times of day..: night, dawn, midday and evening.. our programmes aren't tied to one time, day or season..; sometimes an hour, sometimes a journey..

  • night
  • dawn
  • midday
  • evening
