The Aegean Coast region


Within the surrounding area there are places of interest and activities to cater for everyone. For the history lovers besides Ephesus there is also the Apollo Temple at Didim, Milet and Priene. For the sun worshippers besides watersports in nearby Altinkum, you can enjoy boat trips around nearby bays and coves or catch the ferry to Kos or Samos. Two waterparks in the area one at Altinkum and the other on the outskirts of Kusadasi will keep the children happy whilst for the shopaholics try visiting the Soke outlet shopping centre for designer labels or enjoy the experience of a local market.
The Akbuk area
Akbuk is a small, quiet, traditional Turkish fishing village located in the centre of Turkeys favourite coastline, the South West Aegean. It is located at the foot of gently sloping mountains and extends around a beautiful turquoise blue bay where the air is fresh and clean.
Akbuk is an unspoilt resort with plenty of modern and traditional restaurants along the beachfront offering
good value for money in relaxed atmospheres. There is a small marina where you can purchase fresh fish caught earlier that day, and also enjoy boat trips around nearby coves, whilst at the weekly Friday market you can purchase fresh fruit and vegetables for a fraction of the price in the UK.
Nearby Altinkum, approx 15minutes by car or local dolmus, is a livelier resort with 3 main beaches, a small funfair and numerous cafes and restaurants. Here you can enjoy a variety of watersports,tours and boat trips, or why not relax and treat yourself to the experience of a Turkish Bath.
All of this provides the perfect location set in a beautiful natural environment for a tranquil, relaxing holiday.

Villa Helios is a wonderful property complete with everything you could wish for in a relaxing, enjoyable holiday. This was our second visit to this property and we took friends along and my teenage daughter brought a friend too. All had a brilliant time, location, property, pool and neighbours were nothing short of fantastic. We could not recommend this property enough. |

We had a lovely relaxing week. The villa was marvellous, beautifully clean, every thing you could want was there, no need to bring anything except yourselves and your swimming costume! Friendly helpful service from the owner and also the management company once you arrived. Nothing was too much trouble. The only downside was that it was a bit of a walk into the town to do your shopping and stuff, but cheap cabs so you didnt have to struggle uphill with your beers! Ideal if you want a get away from it all break. Response: Since these guests visited in May 2011 a new supermarket and patisserie have opened close to the villa. The walk into town takes approx 20 minutes, and as stated not only are the taxis cheap but several restaurants will taxi you for free if you are going to eat at their establishment. |

Guestbook for Villa Helios
Dear Jacky. We are unfortunately back here, when we would much rather be back in Akbuk!
We had a fabulous time in your villa, we loved the setting, the very well laid out accommodation, the pools were just right, the air conditioning units were in the best positions, we could go on and on.....
All the dealings we have had with you and with Jackie and Bill, have been handled very professionally but also in a very friendly helpful manner. We loved every minute of our stay and would dearly love to go back.
Mr & Mrs T Kozlowski, Essex (September 2011)

Couldnt believe how everything just fitted together with no stress or no probs . Thankyou for a great holiday and we look forward to booking again, when we have saved up !! lol . Thanks again
Mrs K Chadwick, Lancs ( August 2011)
Once a year our family travels from Istanbul, and the United States to get together for a holiday! This year we had the pleasure of staying at Villa Helios, and it far exceeded our expectations!
After a long journey to get there we were met at the house by Jackie and Bill and given keys to our paradise. The house was clean, and well stocked with towels, sheets and even some pantry staples. The pool was gorgeous and enjoyed at all hours of the day by everyone in the family. Villa Helios is conveniently located near to shops and the beach, you will want for nothing while you are there.
Our evenings were enjoyed watching the sun set over the olive groves while enjoying a glass of wine on the veranda, or while dining on the Agean. Really no matter your preference is, Akbuk has it to offer, and Villa Helios is the place to stay!!! Thank you to the sparks for being so helpful in setting everything up, to Jacky and Bill for all of your help while in Akbuk, and to the lovely people of Akbuk for making our trip so special. We will definitely be back.

Mr & Mrs W Jones + friends (June 2011)
All in all we had the most relaxing week which is just what we wanted, no hustle and bustle, no fights for sun beds, loud music, discos, or drunken louts! The perfect holiday. Bill and Jackie were brilliant, very professional, welcoming, warm and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Thanks for your very professional and friendly help and advice throughout our booking, and holiday – it really meant a lot. We all had the most wonderful time.
Mrs H Harris, Essex ( May 2011)
Hi Jacky, Where do we start ? Everything was fantastic - the arrangements, booking, villa, meet-and-greet - everything. We had a lovely time in your amazing villa. Special mention for Jackie and Bill for their meet-and-greet. They were so nice and friendly and nothing was too much bother for them. We would really love to stay at your villa again in the future.
