General

This villa is a newly built, traditionally designed stone villa, situated in the picturesque fishing village of Ciftlikkoy. With views over the Aegean Sea and only a 5 minute walk (380m) from the beaches, shops and restaurants, the villa provides the ideal base to relax and experience the real Turkey. The villa is the ideal choice for those looking to relax and get away from it all, offering the comforts of home and something for everyone, of all ages. The villa is well located for days out exploring the local area and all it has to offer. Traditional Turkish Charm, Long Sandy Beaches, Turquoise Blue Seas, Wonderful Restaurants, Fabulous Water sports, World class Windsurfing, Turkey's finest archaeological sites, museums and so much more...!

A stay here offers a true insight to Turkey, its culture and the local way of life. The centre of the village is only a short walk from the villa where you can mingle with the locals as you visit the local shops, coffee houses, mosque, bakery, restaurants & weekly market. Forget about the faster pace of living back home. Ciftlikkoy and the surrounding area offer a world of days gone by as the local's trot around on their donkeys, and the farmers plough their fields by horses. Take a stroll through the heart of the village and you will be transferred back in time to narrow streets and crumbling old buildings that were originally built when the Greeks lived in Ciftlikkoy. As you walk by, you will witness traditional Turkish ladies sat chatting on their doorsteps, cleaning their carpets, hanging out the washing or maybe even milking a goat!

Back at the villa, you do not escape the rustic allure of the village as it is not uncommon to walk out onto the villa balcony to see the occasional herd of sheep or goats grazing in front of the house, or the farmers picking their crops to sell at the local market. Ciftlikkoy's village restaurants are a short walk from the villa and offer a wide selection of international and local dishes at extremely low prices. For seafood lovers you can enjoy lobster, prawns, calamari, sea bream, sea bass, red mullet and various other catches for a fraction of European prices. But if fish doesn't appeal to your taste buds, low prices apply to all other dishes including Turkish and European menus. If you want to try something typically Turkish, wet your appetite by sampling the local plates of meze, washed down with the national drink of Raki.

Cesme is only 6km away from the villa and is either a short car journey, or a long walk along the coastal path from the villa. The town offers a wide selection of shops, restaurants, bars, banks, supermarkets and all that you could possibly require during your holiday.

Guest Comments

The Taylor Family - Germany, June 2009 - " Thanks for such a lovely holiday and all your help throughout. We arrived feeling exhausted and left feeling completely relaxed. Ciftlikkoy is the perfect place to wind down and escape the rat race. We loved the convenient location of the villa, the house, the pool, the food, the people - everything really. We hope to return as there's still so much to do. Thank you for helping us to enjoy a truly memorable holiday "

The Roberts Family - Lancashire, UK, May 2009 - " A big, big thank you for helping us plan our holiday. This was our first villa rental holiday and we had a great time. We loved having drinks by the pool and watching the sunset. Infact we should have visited more places but we loved relaxing at the house in the day and then walking to the village restaurants in the evenings. We will miss our 'second home' in Turkey."
