The local shop is only an easy 10 minute walk away for any essentials and local beach is only a 10 minute walk down a track at the side of the villa. Situated only 2 km from Gumusluk (a couple of mins drive) and 8 km from Yalikavak (10 min drive) means you benefit from being close to both locations. In Gumusluk, you can dine on the beach at the fabulous fish restaurants, enjoying the beautiful sunsets over Rabbit Island. Yalikavak is a pretty, relaxing family resort with over 60 restaurants, an exclusive marina, bazaar, beach, harbour, supermarkets and weekly local market. The hustle and bustle of Bodrum and Gumbet is only 30 mins away. The Peninsula has lots of pretty, low key resorts & villages, & with over 150 bays along its coastline you can find your own 'secret paradise beach'. Please ask us if you want more info on the area. PLEASE NOTE: We have 2 other friends on the complex who rent a similiar villa to ours therefore if 2 or 3 families want to travel together but want seaprate accommodation, please get in touch to enquire about prices and dates.
EXTRA VILLA NOTES:

This is a non-smoking property, however, you can smoke outside. The pools are not heated so are available to use between May-October. Please note that the CHANGEOVER day is FLEXIBLE to accommodate the different flying days from the UK and other countries. The CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT times are also FLEXIBLE and depend upon your flight times so please advise at time of booking. We will always try to accommodate check-in/ out times around your flight times rather than having a fixed check-in/out time. Turkey has a number of night-time flights and we want you to be able to get instant access (whenever possible) to the villa to get to sleep upon arrival and to enjoy and make the most of your last day. There is nothing worse than a 10 am check-out if not flying until 3 am in the morning!!! The weekly rate will be calculated on a per 24 hour basis.
FLIGHTS:
Direct flights go into Bodrum airport which is under 1 hour drive away from the villa. Alternatively Izmir and Dalaman are between 3-4 hours drive away. There are many airlines using Bodrum such as Onur Air (booked through Goldtrail Travel or h4u), Turkish Airlines, Thomas Cook, MyTravel, Thomson, Excel Airways etc. Although we provide an accommodation only booking service, we are happy to recommend websites/ travel companies that we have found to be competitive/ reliable. NEW off-season flights have recently started for winter between the months of Oct-Apr directly into Bodrum airport. A grocery welcome pack can be provided with some essentials for your arrival for only a nominal amount. Please enquire when booking if you would like to add this on. This is particularly useful if arriving on a night flight.
CAR HIRE, TRANSFERS AND INFORMATION PACK:
We work closely with a local car hire company on the Bodrum Peninsula who have always been extremely reliable and offer some of the best rental rates in the area. Please ask us for details. If you don't want to hire a car to collect from the airport, we can arrange a transfer at a price of approx £35 each way. Please email with flight times and party size for further details. To get the most out of your holiday, we recommend car hire however if you decide not to hire a car, the local dolmus service runs past the villa and taxis are plentiful. Once your final balance payment is made you will receive a comprehensive travel pack with information including directions from the airport, collection of villa keys etc and it will hopefully answer any other questions you may have to ensure that your holiday gets off to a great start. Plus an extensive guest manual is also provided at the villa.
THINGS TO DO AND PLACES TO VISIT:
There is so much to do whilst on holiday in this area. History lovers should take a visit to St Peter’s Castle, Bodrum to view the underwater archaeology museum or arrange a trip to Ephesus, the largest & best preserved ancient city in Turkey. A visit to Pammukale means that you can combine the hot thermal springs of this white, calcium terraced mountain with the adjacent ancient site of Hierpolis. Another day out is a trip to the mud baths & stunning beaches at Dalyan combined with seeing the Lycian rock tombs & the remains of Caunos, dating back to 400 century B.C. Daily boat trips to Kos, Greece means that you can experience 2 countries during one holiday. Closer to home, make time to experience the different towns and villages on the Peninsula. Turgetreis is the 2nd largest town & hosts a huge market each Saturday. Chill-out on the beach in the laid back bays of Bitez or Ortakent or visit Golturkbuku – known as the St Tropez of the Bodrum Peninsula. Please get in touch if you would like any further details about activities and things to do in the area.
