Home description
Swan villas 1 and 2 are almost identical. We have returning guests in 2008 booking both properties (which share the one pool), as families and friends holidaying together, and are also doing this ourselves this year. Please see our Villa 2 at the bottom of this advert / complete enquiry form, for more information. For smaller parties you may want to consider Marina View Apartment (also detailed below).
We have advertised no. of guests max 7 (through 4 bedrooms), but there is also a sofa bed in each villa ... sleeping x2 more persons.
There are three floors with patios on each level, including large top floor patio, ideal for dining/sunbathing/watching the evening sunset. The villa is in close walking proximity to marina, sea, restaurants and shops. The price includes weekly linen/bathroom towel changes and there are no hidden extras (air con, electricity, etc.). The villa is situated less than eight minutes walk from the sea front and centre of Turgutreis and a minute’s walk to the local store for milk, water, etc. Turgutreis is famous for its excellent fish restaurants, bars and shops, excellent Saturday market and has a beautiful new marina. The town of Turgutreis is situated at the furthest tip of the historic Bodrum Peninsula with its fantastic sunset overlooking an horizon of islands. The Bodrum Peninsula is very easy to travel from, to many the other small towns, via the local "dolmus" bus service ... extending to a lovely water aquapark, which is great fun for children (and parents!).
Guestbook: 8-22 June 2007: "Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your lovely villa – it was the best we have ever experienced in Turkey, Turgutreis is still as lovely as ever ...", Wendy Mills & family
Turgutreis named after the famous sea captain Turgut Reis, this town has developed quite rapidly, becoming the largest settlement on the peninsula after Bodrum. A distance of 20 kilometers from Bodrum, Turgutreis is spread throughout a rich valley well planted with orchards and vegetable gardens.

The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
Turkey is a holiday paradise; the sparkling Aegean Sea, abundant sunshine and magnificent mountains offer visitors a complete getaway from the stress and routine of everyday life.
Turkey has a magnificent past, and is a land full of historic treasures from 13 successive civilizations spanning 10,000 years. As a holidaymaker to this fascinating country you can enjoy browsing Turkish bazaars, explore ancient landmarks like the ancient city of Troy, try water sports such as sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving or just relax on the beach or by the pool.
There is also a unique cuisine to enjoy, as well as the amazing Turkish baths which are great for relaxation and the Coffee Houses where games of backgammon are played and ‘nargile’ pipes are smoked.
From April to October, most resorts in Turkey benefit from the kind of climate that is perfect for relaxing on sandy beaches or enjoying the tranquillity of mountains and lakes.
As well as sandy beaches and fantastic weather, the Aegean coast offers many sites of historic and environmental interest. The Temple of Apollo is only 4km away while the impressive 4,000 year old classical city of Ephesus can be reached within a couple of hours. The geological formations and historic remains of Pamukkale are also well worth a visit.
A number of companies operate tours to these sites as well as many more.
Bodrum / Turgutreis area
Turgutreis is warm and friendly holiday resort with its traditional shops and seaside restaurants (displaying freshly caught fish of the day on a bed of ice), as well as a beautiful marina, with designer shops and beautiful restaurants. One can enjoy a wonderful meal by the sea, watching the sunset, at a delicious price (either on the beautiful new marina, or by the older parade on the quayside restaurant tables, where one can watch the sun go down!). Alternatively one can dine by the sea in the day, and enjoy the wonderful sunset views from your own home, sun bathing and dining on the top floor of Swan Villa 1/2. There are many lively bars - we recommend "The Corner Pub" which Akin runs, just behind the sea front bars (by the market square) - all mod cons, plasma TVs and even a Nintendo Wii for the kids (and adults!) and restaurants, offering Turkish evenings, football bars, kareoke, dancing. There are no nightclubs. Turgutreis is therefore suitable for families and people looking for a quieter holiday, yet lively enough for an enjoyable evening out, after a day in the sun and sea. The huge Saturday market offers something for everyone and the fresh fruit and vegetables are definintely worth a visit, although these are also in abundance in supermarkets only 5 minutes walk away from the villas. There are plenty of villages to visit and the bustling town of Bodrum is only a bus/'dolmus' ride away.
There are daily boat trips to the local islands, extending as far as Kos. These islands include camel riding, visiting caved coves and snorkelling.
There is a water park not far from Bodrum. Bicycles are available for hire, at a very reasonable price.

Guestbook
2006 - First season: 23-30 June 2006 (first website guests): "Very enjoyable holiday in your luxurious villa. We couldn't believe how fortunate we were! Everything has been thought of. We will gladly recommend this to everyone we know, although we would like to keep it for ourselves!! Watch for the email for next year's booking!!", Malcolm & Glenis Dewhurst / Kath & Mike Harrison.
7-26 July 2006: Villa was fabulous, well equipped and what a blessing the air con was! Having 3 balconies was a great luxury as there were 9 of us for part of our stay and escaping for the sunset was glorious. We are gutted to be leaving "our" beloved villa! I feel we may return! Best wishes, Nova & Zebar Mercan (Scotland), P.S. The touch on/off lamps were a big hit with the kids!
