Travel
Dalaman airport is less than an hour from the villas, it is a very straight road and the villas are very easy to locate, airport transfers can be arranged.

Distances

Further details
Local shops in Gokova cater for everyday needs but only accept Turkish lira. Fruit and veg is better bought at the Saturday market. Akyaka has ATM machines but most of the restaurants will accept English notes and also change money for you at the going rate. Buses and taxis will only accept Turkish Lira but some stalls at the market and clothes shops will accept English notes. One of the Fish restaurants called 'Halil' will come to the villa and pick you up and then take you home after your meal as part of their service, some of the restaurants in Akyaka will also do this.
There are medical centres and chemists in Akyaka and Gokova, and two Hospitals in Marmaris for anything more serious. They all speak very good English.
There is another large town in the other direction called Mugla, it is more a shopping town than a resort. One of the more popular boat trips are to Cleopatra's beach, again well worth a visit.
