This is the most beautiful, traditional villa in a small Turkish village, away from the crowds but close enough if you want to dip into a bit of tourist retail therapy, sports activities and plenty of impressive ancient remains - castles, temples, amphitheatres, the ruins of Roman towns - close enough to fill your days with culture as well if you want to. If you want more low-key tourism, the rivers are beautifully clear and dotted with restaurants with access for swimming, diving, sunbathing decks, fishing and eating. The white water rafting trip is a lot of fun for all ages.
The villa is spotlessly clean, full of little extra touches like a well-stocked book case including recipe books if you fancy trying some Turkish cooking, games, air beds for the pool - which is a generous size - beach and pool towels, CDs, DVDs, nice hand wash lotion in all the bathrooms, plenty of fluffy bath towels, a pair of bicycles if you feel energetic (we used them a lot to cycle to the butcher's for meat for the BBQ) - I could go on.
Steve and Elaine are the most amazing hosts - we were welcomed like old friends - they are incredibly helpful and nothing seems to be too much trouble. They make it so easy for you to enjoy your holiday and have plenty of recommendations and suggestions that you don't have to follow, but if you do you will save yourself precious time on your holiday.
Thankyou Steve and Elaine for allowing us to spend our holiday in your beautiful villa. Mandy, Mike, Sam & Luke xxx
