Restoration of Atatürk's Yalova Chalet (Walking Chalet)

Restoration of Atatürk's Yalova Chalet (Walking Chalet)

Atatürk once had had the Yalova Chalet slid on rails so that it would not damage a plane tree. This Chalet was restored with the support of Çalık Holding and inaugurated on 18 August 2006 with a ceremony held in the garden of the Chalet. Atatürk had said: "No branch to be cut; but the chalet to be moved" and the chalet was moved 4.8 meters and came to be known as the "Walking Chalet". It served Atatürk for many years as a resting and working place. It was restored, including landscaping, with everything it contains, respecting the original character of the building and of its contents.
