The Aegean Coast region
The Aegean Coast area is renowned for its beautiful, turquoise sea and fresh, clean air. It is rich in natural beauty, history and culture & offers stunning mountain and beach scenery. This area also boasts numerous ancient and biblical sites with favourites such as Ephesus and The Virgin Mary House. The climate of hot summers and mild winters make this an ideal place to visit all year round .(www.weatheronline.co.uk/Turkey). The villa is perfectly situated to explore all this region has to offer.
Akbuk area
Akbuk is a resort for holidaymakers who want a relaxing, laid back holiday. This beautiful fishing village has shops, supermarkets, a bank, petrol station, hospital/doctor, hairdressers etc & many excellent restaurants (much less expensive than the bigger resort of Altinkum a few miles away). The promenade along the seafront is lined with trees and dotted with restaurants which offer traditional Turkish & European food. From the small harbour you can purchase fresh fish daily or you can take boat trips around the islands and enjoy lunch or dinner onboard! Akbuk also has a great market once a week which is well worth a visit. There are local horse riding stables a few miles outside the resort.
For an increase to your holiday tempo, the much livelier resort of Altinkum is only 20 minutes away by car/taxi or the local Dolmus bus service. Here you will find lively bars/clubs, a fairground, a water park & a large variety of restaurants. There are also several tours on offer (water park, Ephesus, boat trips etc) daily. (try www.gordiontravel.com for examples of what is available).

Guestbook
ALL QUOTES ARE FROM GUESTS WHO RENTED DURING 2008.
June 2008 - Absolutely stunning villa and perfectly situated. Akbuk is a beautiful resort and definitely not for party animals ! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Villa Rourke and our only dissapointment was the week passed so quickly. Kevin & Gwyn, Manchester, England.
July 2008 - The villa was fantastic and close to all amenities not to mention the abundance of lovely restaurants. Akbuk has plenty to offer also, with boat trips, markets etc and the Turkish people are extremely friendly and warm. Would gladly recommend your villa. We had a great time, thanks again, Rod & Anne, Dublin.
August 2008 - This was our first visit to Turkey & we loved it ! We thoroughly enjoyed both the area & the villa. Our grandchildren thought the pool was fantastic, especially at night with the pool lights on! Thanks for a wonderful time, J & B Jardine, Havant, England.
September 2008 - We spent a very relaxing week at the end of September in this 1st class villa. The roof terrace was excellent & the surrounding views were simply fantastic. We will definitely be back to enjoy the laid back approach to life in Akbuk. Thanks agains, A&K Reynolds, Belfast, N.Ireland.
