The area where we live, because of the distance from both airports,ensures that we are not surrounded by hoards of foreign holidaymakers eager to get a tan,and drink as much local liquor as possible,the area is in fact where Turkish people come to their holiday homes to enjoy the peace and scenery of this delightful coastline.

ACCOMODATION..The detached house is situated on the fringe of the village,at the end of a cul-de-sac.It has three levels,containing a lounge,with tv and music system,dvd,etc,dining area,kitchen (with dishwasher),two double bedrooms and one single bedroom,two shower rooms with toilets,and a seperate toilet.There is also a computer room,with wireless ADSL connection,This room also contains hundreds of books ,dvd`s,cd`s,and videos,which you are welcome to use,but we do ask that you please treat with respect.On the top floor there is the second shower room and toilet,with washing machine and tumble dryer(although this is very rarely needed) and the single bedroom.Also on the top floor there is a roof terrace with superb sea views.

There are gardens and terraces on three sides of the house,which provide a variety of different secluded lounging and sunbathing areas,there is also a BBQ area.

As we are both non smokers we would ask people who do smoke to smoke outside on the terrace.

The south-facing house usually has a slight breeze to offset the heat of the sun and there are superb sea and mountain views.

We have a weekly cleaner,and gardener,and if you are in residence during the fruit seasons you are welcome to sample the apricots,plums,oranges, lemons,and pomegranates.

Friends both Turkish and English,will be available should you need any assistance or advice.
