Further details outdoors:
The grounds at Keci Evi amount to approximately 8000 sq.metres and consist of olive, mulberry and pine trees set into the hillside. The terraces and areas around the house have been landscaped, but the rest have been left natural in keeping with the village environment as the grounds are surrounded on two sides by nationally protected pine forest. Our oldest and spectacular tree has been retained in order to provide shade over the main terrace during the heat of the day. There is also bbq and outdoor seating area facing the views.

Share videoThe Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
Dalyan which lies on the Turquoise coast and is a fifteen minute drive from Gokbel is quite simply a paradise for those seeking something different. Imagine your home, nestling in a village, surrounded by lush green fields breaking into spectacular mountain ranges. Add the vista of a freshwater lake separated from the crystal clear Mediterranean by the fabulous Turtle Beach. Include warm and welcoming inexpensive restaurants – shopping in ethnic markets – .
The Dalyan area
Brief fame was brought to Dalyan in the late 1980s by loggerhead turtles or, more accurately, by David Bellamy and Captan June who led a world-wide campaign to halt a proposed development on Dalyan's pristine three mile Iztuzu beach. The conservation battle was won and the whole Dalyan delta turned into a wildlife sanctuary in order to preserve its unique flora, fauna and way of life.
Dalyan has everything - an outstanding beach, fascinating wildlife, strong local traditions and the majestic remains of an ancient city. Boat is the best way to reach the many attractions of Dalyan, including mud baths where you have the privilege - if that is the word - of being caked in sulphurous, but reputedly therapeutic, mud. Drifting downstream you pass the haunting, 4th-century BC tombs which loom, like miniature Greek temples hewn out of the cliffs, high above the river right opposite the town. Marsh frogs croak in the rushes, stripe-necked terrapins and little freshwater turtles dart in and out of the water and, if you are quick, you may catch the dazzling turquoise arc of a kingfisher in flight.
Further down river towards the the fish hatcheries, you can be dropped off at the dramatically situated ruins of ancient Caunos, which boast some of the most impressively fortified walls still standing in western Turkey, along with a well-preserved Greek-style theatre, Roman baths and a Byzantine basilica. You can wander among the shattered columns and the huge chunks of masonry of ancient temples for hours, photographing, drawing or just gazing at the beauty of the scene and on glories past. So much is to be discovered by boat; the variety of birds and the sight of small turtles basking at the waters edge, with their bodies submerged and their heads on the surface, is unforgettable. If you are very lucky you may even find one of the rare loggerhead turtles, the 95-million-year-old species Carretta carretta, swimming right under the boat in nesting season, if you head beyond the river mouth. You can also disembark here at the end of Dalyans beautiful sandy beach, forty minutes by boat from the town quay. However, those few who know will head by regular dolmus (a twenty minute journey) to the opposite end of the beach where the views are as spectacular as the peace. From one tip to the other, the swimming from this vast and unblemished stretch of sand is excellent.
As well as the large fleet of boats, other provisions have been made for visitors to Dalyan, which has developed from a small village into a pleasant little town. There is now a good choice of restaurants (with fresh river fish a speciality) , carpet, jewellery and spice shops and small grocers. All this and all within a short distance of Gokbel.
The village of Gokbel also has it treasures. Not only the unspoilt scenery but the small local shops which will stock every day items and pancake (Gozleme) restaurants which serve not only delicious pancakes but other food and drinks as well.

Keci Evi is in a rural location so a car is needed. We were informed about this before we booked so all was ok. |
