A traditional stone property situated on the outskirts of the village of Ortakoy (near Kemer and Fethiye) in beautiful countryside. A fabulous opportunity to taste the real Turkey, away from the hustle of busier tourist resorts but with access if required. Ideal for couples or families with children who want to get away from it all. The brick built BBQ and large private swimming pool encourages you to enjoy the outdoor life. There is lots to do in the surrounding area or just simply relax. The property benefits from thick stone walls, which keep it cool in summer and warm in the colder winter months. It has a shaded terrace and plenty of sunbathing areas, the pool gets sunshine the whole day through. The property is surrounded by fields and stunning mountains. The sunsets are fantastic to watch and the mountains turn red! With little light pollution, the stars at night are incredible and it's possible to sit outside with a drink, watching the stars through the telescope provided.

Notes on accommodation
We have sought to make the property a home from home and equipped with all the necessities and, in addition, some extras, e.g. air-conditioning, hair-dryers in each bedroom, a selection of CDs, DVDs, books and board games. Similarly, we have endeavored to make the property welcoming for people of all ages, however, the pool is a typical Turkish built one and does not have a shallow-end. The property is rural, being on the outskirts of a small village, with Kemer being the nearest town, crica 10 km away. There is a Dolmus service which some guests have enjoyed using, but for those who wish to explore the area, car hire is strongly recommended. A Turkish mobile phone and mobile internet access is available on request for an additional payment. A detailed information pack is provided in the property, containing information about local sights, along with guide books, maps and a Turkish / English dictionary.
Accessibility
There is a step up to the veranda and a couple of door steps in the property. Therefore the property is not suitable for those in wheelchairs. However, those with limited mobility may still find it suitable as its all on one level. It is a non-smoking property, as there is plenty of outside space, smokers are welcome so long as they do so in these areas and not inside the property. Pets are not accepted.
Outside
Outside of the property there is a brick built BBQ and a large patio area, which gets the sun throughout the day. There is also a covered terrace with table and bench / chairs for outdoor dining. There is a second table and chairs with a parasol, for those who can't get enough of the sun or to use when the sun sets and the evening cools down. Loungers and parasols are provided. The private swimming pool is approx 45sq.m. During the cooler months the pool is decommissioned - please contact the owners for further information. The property is sited in about half an acre of land. Part of the plot has been set aside as an orchard with plum, apricot, peach, fig, olive, orange, tangerine, lemon and pomegranate trees being grown. If you're there when the fruit is in season - help yourself!
Coast/Beach
The property is situated between what are claimed to be the two best beaches in Turkey, Olu Deniz and Patara. Olu Deniz is a natural lagoon and takes 40 min in the car. Patara beach is an 18km long sandy beach and takes around 45 min to drive. Other beaches within easy reach include: Calis, Gemiler Bay, Kaputas Bay and Katranci Bay. There is also a water park near to Fethiye for kids to enjoy.
Special interest holidays
This is an ideal location for either just chilling, or for exploring the local area. The rural nature of the property lends itself to fishing, painting, photography and walking. It is also a great base for exploring, 20 min drive to Tlos and Yakapark, 30 min to Saklikent Gorge, 40 mins to Fethiye and the various activities such as boat trips. A number of beaches are within easy reach (Calis, Olu Deniz, Patara, to name just a handful). Many historical sites are also within easy reach. One end of the 500km Lycian Way (long distance footpath) starts at Ovacik. Further afield, Kas (and a trip across to Greece) or swim with the dolphins, or a day trip to Rhodes from Fethiye.
Travel
The nearest airport is Dalaman, around 1hr 15 mins by road. Directions and a location map are provided. Antalya airport is about a 3 hour drive. Due to its rural location, car hire is recommended. There is local transport in the form of dolmus (buses). These are on a fairly regular basis to local towns such as Oren, Kemer and Fethiye (every 15 mins during summer, every 30 mins in winter).
Distances
The property is on the outskirts of Ortakoy (10 minute walk), a small village with a couple of convenience shops and a couple of tea houses (one serving kofte/kebabs with a very helpful owner). A market is held in the square every week selling fresh fruit and veg. Kemer is the nearest town 10km away with restaurants, food shops, (e.g butcher, baker, Tesko). 2 miles away is the tiny hamlet of Oren, famous for its trout restaurants overlooking the river.
Further details
The drive to Kemer is through pine forests and views of the beautiful countryside. Kemer is a traditional Turkish town, having a town square with shops. It has 2 main restaurants - 1 in a riverside setting and the other elevated on the hillside overlooking the town. Both serve a variety of local dishes and international cuisine. There is a weekly market every Friday where local produce, clothes and souvenirs can be bought. Kemer offers the peaceful living of unspoilt Turkey with the added benefit of being within easy reach of many larger towns and attractions nearby. Other services in Kemer include pharmacies, post office, doctor, internet cafe, hospital, children’s play area, a bank/ATM, souvenir shops, florists and general stores. Fethiye is a 40 minutes drive and is a large and busy working town. It boasts a lovely harbour with great restaurants and cafes where you can sit and watch the world go by or play a game of backgammon. Boat trips are plentiful with choice from quiet trips to party boats. The old town has some quaint shops and lanes as well as a Hammam (Turkish bath). Fethiye has two large supermarkets: Migros and Carrefour. There is also the famous Tuesday market. Olu Deniz (Dead Sea) is one of the most photographed resorts in Turkey and over the years has probably featured on more holiday brochure covers than anywhere else in the world. It is possible to paraglide from Babadag - the parachuters land at Olü Deniz. There are a wide range of other sights: boat trips from Fethiye, Yakapark, Saklikent Gorge and a variety of archaeological sites - Telmessos (Fethiye Town), Letoon, Pinara, Patara, Xanthos and Cadianda.
