Mulberry House is situated in a beautiful and unspoilt part of Turkey. The nearest town is Dalyan, which is a very pretty, level 25-minute walk or a 7-10 minute bike ride away. From the terrace you can watch the sun rise or set against the spectacularly beautiful mountain back drop. It benefits from the recent addition of a salt water swimming pool. There is a lovely patio area with sunbeds and parasols to provide shade although there is ample shade to be found underneath the trees in the garden. The terrace is large and shaded. In summer it is the main living area. A breeze blows across the valley from the mountains and over the terrace. The garden is shaded by mulberry and eucalyptus trees, vines,hibiscus, jasmine and fragrant melissa. The views from the terrace are fantastic. There is a traditional Turkish korsk in the garden for total relaxation. It is easy to sit and look at the unspoiled and beautiful view! Storks are often seen flying over the valley. There are five mountain bikes included with the house. This property would suit anyone who was looking for a holiday with a difference, who wanted to experience the 'real' unspoiled Turkey and 'get away from it all.

Relaxation: Mulberry House is a very special place. Relaxing in one of the hammocks under the stars is an amazing experience. The sky is so black at night it is easy to see the milky way.
During the day the hammocks are shaded by the mulberry trees and you can see grapes growing above your head. Relax with a drink by the pool and you will never want to leave!
The Beach: Iztuzu beach is worth a special mention as it is one of the few totally undeveloped beaches in Turkey. It is 5 km long and is the nesting site for the caretta caretta turtle. At one end of the beach there is a turtle hopital where these huge and endangered animals are nurtured back to health. The beach is totally protected and unspoilt. It is possible to arrive at the beach by boat at one end or bus at the other. You can walk from one end to the other and in the middle it is completely deserted. Snacks and drinks can be purchased from small wooden buildings at either end and you can try the freshly made pancakes with pine honey.
