The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
This stretch of the Turkish coastline is known as the Turkish Riviera or Turquoise Coast. The area around Fethiye is one of Turkeys most beautiful, offering a perfect mix of beach resorts, mountain scenery and small rural villages. Lycia is the historical name of the Teke peninsula, which cuts into the Mediterranean on Turkey's southern coast. The mountains rise steeply from the wooded shore and tiny bays, giving beautiful views and varied walking. The Lycians absorbed Greek culture, and were later conquered by the Romans.
Saklikent is 50 km away from Fethiye and is a natural gorge, 18km long and reaches 600m in places. It is a unique place to visit, where the ice cold water comes down from the mountains, with mountaineering, trekking, rafting and swimming possible. Yakapark is near Saklikent where you can sample the local trout in tranquil surroundings. The restaurant area is shaded by ancient trees with small rivers and springs cooling the air around you.
Tlos is 45km away from Fethiye and is one of the principal cities of the Lycian Federal Union. It was founded around 2000 B.C. there are ruins of a castle on top of the acropolis, remains of a Roman gymnasium, baths and a large theatre with many detailed carvings. Other Lycian cities are Pinara and Cadianda.
The Dalaman River begins in the Kocas Mountain and is 229 km long, alongside the river are the famous mud baths where you can cover yourselves with mud and let it dry in the sun. Further up the river you can go rafting and where the river meets the sea is Turtle beach, which is a protected area for the nesting turtles. If you wish to go further afield you can visit Pamukkale & Ephesus which is a 2 day trip.
Olu Deniz area
Olu Deniz used to be three separate villages, Ovacik, Hisaronu and Belcekiz, and covers an extensive and varied terrain, separated by hills and woods, thus catering for all tastes. The villa is in Ovacik which nestles below the Babadag Mountain, Ovacik means " little plain " and is caressed by cool sea breezes which provide some relief from the hot summer sun. It commands fine mountain views and if you have an early holiday you might still see some snow on top of the mountain.
The famous Olu Deniz beach with its stunning blue lagoon is renowned as the most beautiful beach in Turkey, it is only a short bus ride away from the villa and is in a conservation area so no high rise hotels and is probably the most photographed beach in Turkey. The lagoon is like a large lake, very calm, ideal for children with its gently shelving waters.
Fethiye is about 10 mins away from the villa by bus and is a mixture of market town, port and holiday resort. On the hill above Fethiye is a castle built for the Knights of Saint John and there are 2 simple rock tombs on the eastern face of the hill. By the harbour is Telmessos Antic Theatre constructed in the roman period and had a capacity for seating 5000, it was discovered in1993 and concerts for about 1500 people are held in the summer months. Every Tuesday there is a huge open air market near the marina selling everything from clothes, shoes, household goods, gifts and food. The harbour and marina is bordered by palm tree lined promenades and back streets filled with shops, bars and restaurants, yeilding bargains, gastronomic delights and bustling night life.
Ovacik is a quieter village, up in the hills above Fethiye, but the villa is only a few minutes walk from local bars, restaurants and small supermarkets. Ideally situated between Olu Deniz beach and the town. For a much livelier resort you can walk into Hisaronu with its wide choice of shops, restaurants and late night bars, they also have a market every monday. Near to Hisaronu is the deserted village of Kayakoy which was a Greek settlement founded at the beginning of the 14th century. It was evacuated during the Turkish-Greek war of 1919-1923 hence it's nickname of The Ghost Town. Its well worth a visit and the more energetic of you can walk there through the pine forests.
There are many local activities, they include paragliding from Babadag Mountain, people come from all over the world to glide over the turquoise waters of the lagoon from atop of the mountain, river rafting, water-ski-ing, scuba diving, snorkelling, sailing & yatching, mountaineering and horse riding, plus visits to various interesting Greek and Roman archaeological sites, and the famous ' Butterfly Valley ' . For those of you who enjoy boat trips, you can catch them from the main beach at Olu Deniz or Fethyie harbour, a popular one is the 12 - island boat trip, most of them go out all day, include lunch and plenty of stops for swimming and snorkelling.
A great activity for kids is a NEW AQUAPARK only 5 to 10 mins walk away from the villa towards Fethiye.

Guestbook
This was my first trip to Turkey, so really didn't know what to expect. On arriving at the airport we were promptly met and transported to the villa, which is up in the hills. It was gorgeous, very clean and new and when there was the calling for prayer it seemed to float up to us, I found it so peaceful. It was very easy to contact the english couple who look after the villa and the local tour guides, who would pick us up and drop us back after any trips. It was my 40th birthday out there and Sue arranged for a chef to come and cook a special dinner for us while we sat on the terrace in the evening. Olu Deniz is a very innocent place that is only just starting to realise the tourism prospect which I found very endearing, I will definitely be using Sue's villa again and highly recommend it. Helena Routledge Surrey
The villa is just gorgeous - certainly got the wow factor ! we were really impressed. You have furnished it beautifully, its so spacious, plenty of room for us all and the games room is a real bonus it was great for the children to get out of the sun and chill out down there. We loved the privacy and the peace and quiet, and you have catered so well for children. We wanted for nothing, really none of us wanted to leave, it was just a perfect holiday. E Brown Lancashire
Villa Suzie is ideally located and perfect for a family holiday. The villa is delightful, spacious, well equipped and decorated to an excellent standard. It was like having your own hotel ! The beautiful garden area and large pool are well maintained, and we spent lots of time watching the woodpecker and squirrels. The large shadey area is perfect for dining outside. Everyone was so helpful, we had a wonderful holiday and will certainly return in the near future. C. Yates Surrey
We had the best holiday ever ! The villa was amazing - far beyond our expectations and the area was beautiful. B Kirby Lancashire
Thankyou for letting us stay in Villa Suzie, we had a fantastic time, the Villa is amazing. The pool was a real blessing and the kids just loved the games room a real bonus. Every body was so helpful and welcoming. G Thomas Devon
The holiday was fantastic, best villa we have ever stayed in, had everything we wanted. N Burrows Surrey
l thought l would let you know how much we all enjoyed our time in Turkey. The villa was excellent and very well equipped with many nice touches. As expected we found the locals very friendly and we had no bad experiences at all. My wife Shirley even went paragliding and assured us afterwards that it was not at all frightening ! Once again thanks for the use of your Turkish home, we had a great time. G Mountford Kent
Wanted to say how impressed all our family was with Villa Suzie whilst we had our holiday this year, perfect for families with young ones !! We got married in Olu Deniz while staying at the villa, it was great, as its so big we could have our family with us. Getting married in Turkey was beautiful, all our guests were impressed, the location was stunning with great food, good entertainment ( belly dancer ) and a delicious hand made cake. It was perfect and a lot more affordable than in the UK. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend getting married in Turkey and also a big thankyou to Sue ( the owner ) who makes a very conscientious effort to make your stay personel, stress free and homely. Had a fabulous time. Samantha Ells Surrey
