Well equipped for all your holiday needs including 10 metre swimming pool, air conditioning, water cooler, free WiFi, washing machine, DVD player and a CD/iPOD/MP3 player.

The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region

The Bodrum Peninsula is one of the the most beautiful parts of Turkey's Aegean Coast. There are numerous small fishing villages and resorts around the coast, each with their own individual character. There's something for the whole family in Turkey, whether you want to lie on the beach, participate in water sports, or visit some of the country's impressive cultural and historical sites. Day trips include Ephesus, the largest archaelogical site in the world & the stunning pools at Pamukkale. The traditional harbour in Turgutreis provides a real treat - a range of boat trips (gulets) that visit many islands and secluded coves. Try a Turkish Hammam (steam bath) and for the young at heart Octopus (Dedeman) waterpark is only a 10 mins taxi ride.

For the more adventurous, the area has an excellent taxi/bus service called dolmus. These are reliable mini-buses and offer services all day to Bodrum & the surrounding area for around £1 per journey.
Gumusluk village (the lost city of Myndos) is close by and is well known for its fish restaurants - we highly recommend a visit here (journey is approx 15 mins by dolmus). You could enjoy a lazy afternoon or even catch an early evening dolmus so that you're there in time to watch one of the beautiful sunsets - the choice is yours!

The Bodrum / Turgutreis area

Google Earth: 37°00’54.45 N / 27°15’35.00 E

The town of Turgutreis is situated at the furthest tip of the historic Bodrum Peninsula with fantastic views overlooking a horizon of ornamental islands - the sunsets here are amazing!

Turgutreis provides a wide choice of bars and restaurants, both local and international, and its new marina with designer boutiques sits alongside the traditional harbour with its gulets and fishing boats.

Bodrum & all other local places of interest are easily accessible from Villa Sera without the use of a car, though if required car hire is plentiful locally. A must see is the Saturday market in Turgutreis (the largest on the peninsula) which is a bright and colourful affair - be prepared to barter for all goods - it's expected & great fun!

--5 Fabulous Things To Do--
• Visit Turgutreis market for fantastic fresh produce, clothes, handbags & lots of other goods (including genuine fakes!) all at great prices
• Take a Gulet cruise and tour secluded islands and beaches
• Be steamed, exfoliated and massaged at a Turkish bath (Hammam)
• Catch a Dolmus and visit the sleepy village of Gumusluk for the most picturesque fish restaurants on the seafront
• Experience a Turkish night of traditional food and dancing

--Day Excursions--
• Ephesus
• Pamukkale
• Boat ride to the Greek island of Kos

--Other Local Attractions--
• Various sandy beaches with safe swimming, good watersports & fresh seafood restaurants
• St Peter's Castle in Bodrum & boutique/souvenir shopping
• Waterpark
• Jeep Safari
• Horse Riding

--Climate and Weather in Turgutreis--
From May to October the Turkish summer is hot and dry with temperatures averaging between 25º-35º C.

“Paradise” This was my third visit to Villa Sera - and was just as great as all of the other times I've visited! Key points: - The villa is set in a small complex (only 5 villas in total) with beautiful gardens and a lovely pool. A quiet location which is great place to chill out BUT is only a 10 min stroll to the bright lights of Turgutreis! - Villa Sera is a real home from home - clean, tidy, well equipped kitchen, barbecue, ample sunbeds and lots of storage and even a bookcase full of beach reads - There are numerous routes from the villa into Turgutreis town - there are some maps to be found in the villa. Safe to walk around at night although take a torch as some roads aren't very well lit. - Lots of lovely restaurants to eat at in Turgutreis and bar street is a great night out - food is very well priced although boozing can be expensive. - Highly recommend a walk to the marina - lots of lovely shops hidden away there - particularly recommend 'Mudo' which is a little bit like a Turkih version of Zara! - There's a lovely market on each weekend - lots of tat but great for fruit and veg and spices, well worth a look. All in all I can't fault Villa Sera or Turgutreis as a place to stay - I shall be heading back there in 2012!!

Comments from our guests who were so kind to sign our guestbook or send a message following their stay:

"Villa terrific! Turgutreis great! Holiday fantastic! Definitely coming back next year. Thanks for all your help Sarah" ~ The Davidson family, August 2011

"A wonderful holiday - arrangements by Sarah excellent, taxi @ airport, lovely villa and great recommendations incl maps! The holiday was made even more special by the time we spent with Geoff & Kay- an evening @ the ballet in Bodrum - and a very late night in Turgutreis! Thank you Geoff & Kay and Martin & Sarah" ~ J&L Kitley, August 2011

"Back for 3rd but not last time. It's just so relaxing I don't want to go home!" ~ The Strachans, July 2011

"To Sarah, thank you so much for Villa Sera. We had a wonderful wedding & a lovely honeymoon. I'm sure when we return home to the rain in Ireland we will be thinking of the pool!!" ~ The McAleers, September 2010

"The villa and pool have been just as imagined! - beautiful & relaxing. Allan has been very helpful and Geoff & his family friendly. The boys also loved the holiday. Most wonderful!" ~ The Brunton-Seers Family, August 2010

"Hi Sarah, I wanted to drop you a line to say what a fantastic holiday we had at villa sera. I have never relaxed so much, it was peaceful without being dead & all the neighbours were lovely too.
The villa was great with everything we needed and very comfortable. Turgutreis has changed over the years but I still love the place and my husband experienced it for the first time and also really enjoyed it.
We will be back at some point . Thankyou again." ~ Louise, July 2010

"Had a great time. Plenty of space for the family and the pool a great asset.
Will be on the internet in the next few days looking for cheap flights back here for 2010!" ~ The Strachans, July 2009 (and they did return in 2010 & 2011!)

Thankyou Sarah & Martin for the amazing villa. Turgutreis is a lovely town full of surprises, friendly people and excellent restaurants." ~ D Hough, June 2009

"Thank you so much for loaning us your wonderful villa-spacious and very well equipped. We all enjoyed our stay so much and also meeting the lovely Geoff and wife who were so helpful. Fantastic location for us as well as we like a calm resort. Even bar street seemed quite sedate!
Will certainly recommend you to any friends looking for excellent accommodation in a lovely setting." ~ C Heyes, August 2008

"Hello, Sarah! We would like to thank you very much for everything. The villa is fantastic and our holiday was perfect. We had nice time in Turgutreis and a lot of fun. Thank you again for all. We hope we will be back next year." ~ F&M Tolbaru, July 2008

"Dear Sarah, before our holiday becomes a distant memory I want to let you know that we had one of the best and most relaxing holidays ever in your villa. It is in such a quiet spot and is so cool and spacious that we loved going back to it every afternoon to sit on the shady terrace watching the swallows and to swim in the pool, which we did have almost to ourselves. All the facilities were excellent and your owner-neighbour checked everything was ok when he came for a week. Everyone in T.reis was very friendly and we enjoyed the beach and the sunsets and, apart from dolmus trips to Bodrum and to Gumusluk, we just chilled out for 2 weeks. The weather was beautiful every day and we have brought back lots of happy memories. Thank you for providing us with such a comfortable home." ~ Wendy, May 2008

"The Villa Sera is first class in every respect; well equipped and excellently placed, just outside all the hustle and bustle of busy little Turgutreis - a pleasant walk, though - or scooter ride, in our case! Akin really is a treasure as well, we couldn't have asked for a nicer person to meet. Always helpful with lots of suggestions about what to do, where to go etc, and kept in touch via text all the time. We HAD envisaged a restful week relaxing and reading, but it was full of interest and we were hardly at home, although we did manage a swim in the pool most days. We would like to thank you very much for the excellent arrangements and ease of booking - it made things simple for us when everything else was a bit hectic in our lives - and this holiday was just the tonic we needed." ~ K&J, Sept 2007
