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, particpate 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. A real treat is a range of boat trips (gulets) that visit many islands and secluded coves departing from the harbour in Turgutreis. Try a Turkish Hammam (steam bath) just a few miles away.
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 is close by and is well known for its fish restaurants - we highly recommend a visit here (journey is approx 15 mins by dolmus and costs 2 lira each way - less than £1). 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!
Bodrum / Turgutreis area
The town of Turgutreis is situated at the furthest tip of the historic Bodrum Peninsula with fantastic views overlooking a horizon of ornamental islands.
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.
Most amenities can be reached from Villa Sera without the use of a car including the Saturday market in Turgutreis which is a bright and colourful affair - be prepared to barter for all goods - it's great fun!

Guestbook
"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
"A lovely clean and well looked after villa, with a clean and well maintained pool and gardens. With only a short walk to the beach and nice restaurants and plenty to do in the surrounding area, we would recommend this property without hesitation." ~ The DW Family, Sept 2007
"Another fantastic holiday in Turgutreis. The villa exceeded all our expectations. Clean, comfortable, well equipped and great location. We cannot find any faults!!!! We really felt like we were staying in someone's home! Thank you, see you again, we hope!!" ~ Karen from Swindon, 26th July 2007
"Beautiful well-maintained villa in a quiet location. Very spacious - can easily accommodate up to 7 people (if a couple are children). Well equipped with pans/utensils etc. An easy 10 minute stroll takes you to the town beach/town centre. Owner and property management company both extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend." ~ Helen from Manchester, 10th April 2007
