The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
The Turquoise coast stands out not only in Turkey but in all of the Mediterranean. The coastline is stunning and undeveloped. The sea is clean, clear and offers some of the best swimming in the Mediterranean. The fertile soil and uninterrupted sunshine provide excellent local produce, making for excellent, freshly prepared and cheap cuisine. This is also the area where the Lycians prospered in ancient times. Ruins and historical sites, many still left au naturel, are dotted all over the area.
Demre area
- Take a boat trip for the day to the sunken city (30mins away), a Roman town destroyed by an earthquake. The town is still visible and you will be able to see everyday objects such as amphorae on the sea bed. The swimming around here is simply fantastic. Alternatively, do a fishing trip on the boat instead. - Take a cruise on a gulet yacht. It does not get much better than this. - A 10min drive takes you to the fascinating Lycian rock tombs at Myra. Here you will also find the church of St Nicholas. The saint was born here and is the pre-cursor to Santa Claus. - Miles of pristine and deserted beaches are 5mins away. Perfect for swimming, sunbathing and snorkelling without the crowds.

How to get there
BY AIR
You will need to book your flight to Antalya airport. Flights are available from many UK airports. The websites of companies I have listed below are in order of personal preference:
www.flythomascook.com The fact that you can fly from several major UK airports all year round, and with the flexibility on your return in the style of Ryan air or Easyjet, makes this website a winner.
www.flightsavers.co.uk This website is the best one I have found for charter flights with the major tour operators such as MyTravel Airways, First Choice Airways and Thomson. Your best bet if the above website does not work out.
Other options: www.xl.com Between May and October, Excel Airways operate flights from Gatwick and Manchester to Antalya .
www.sunexpress.de (English language) The German budget airline is scheduled to start flights from London Stansted to Antalya in 2007.
*Please note: British nationals have to pay a £10 visa fee per person upon arrival on Turkish soil.
GETTING FROM ANTALYA AIRPORT TO AZUR VILLA:
Expect the drive from Antalya airport to Azur villa to take 2-2 ½hrs. Below I have listed three viable transport options:
1. Airport transfer
We can arrange for someone to drive you to Azur villa and back to Antalya airport. Prices vary according to the number of people and are for a one-way transfer:
Max 3 people = £55 or 80Euros (car) Max 7 people = £70 or 100Euros (mini-van)
2. Rent a car at Antalya airport and drive yourself
The major car hire companies operate from Antalya airport and it is a straightforward procedure to book directly through them. For better prices, however, try www.auto-europe.co.uk. Be aware, however, that you will probably be arriving after dark, the drive is quite a long one and, once in Demre, you will need detailed instructions from Gino to find Azur villa.
3. Airport transfer plus car hire with driver
Put off by what you've just read above? Don't worry, there is the perfect solution. The well-established, professional and reliable Andifli car rental company (www.andifli.com), based in nearby Kas town, can not only rent you your car, but also provide a driver to accompany you from Antalya airport to Azur villa and back.
Once you get to Azur villa, the driver will leave you the car until it is time to fly home, whereupon he will accompany you back to Antalya. Just add £25 each way for petrol onto the cost of the car. Remember this system is only suitable for up to 3 adults or, at a push, 2 adults and 2 young children, using a standard vehicle.
For four or more people, Andifli can arrange to have the car waiting at Azur villa for you. Just add the cost of two transfers as advertised on their website.
