Four Seasons (apartment)

Home description

This is a ground floor apartment finished and furnished to a high standard. There is a large open plan kitchen/ diner and lounge, which leads on to the balcony where you can enjoy al fresco dining and relaxing drinks. The balcony is furnished with a table, parasol and chairs. The kitchen is well-equipped whether you want to prepare full meals or snacks, and you have the choice of eating inside or outside.

The large swimming pool has an area for toddlers and there is also a separate small shallow pool. With the pool bar available all day for food and drinks you can relax here without leaving the complex. However, if you want to go the beach there is a free shuttle bus service to and from Kumkoy at various times throughout the day. On the beach you will find an array of water sports available.

For golfers the well-known resort of Belek is approximately 25 minutes drive.

In Kumkoy and Side there are lots of shops, restaurants and bars, all of which are open to very late. There are also some nightclubs for those who want to stay up even later.

There are many places to visit such as the Roman ruins in ancient Side, the Manavgat Falls, the Roman theatre at Aspendos, and you can't visit Turkey without experiencing a Turkish bath and massage.

Note: For parties larger than 4 people, we can arrange other apartments as we know other owners.

The Mediterranean Coast region

Turkey has varying climates in the different regions of the country. Ilica is in the south of Turkey on the Mediterranean coast, which has a typical Mediterranean climate with dry, hot summers and over 300 days of sunshine per year with temperatures not going below 14oC (57oF) from December to February during the day. This makes it an all year round resort, very popular with golfers during the winter.

There are many beautiful natural sights in the area below the Taurus mountains such as canyons, rivers and waterfalls.

Antalya boasts the splendid Duden Falls; at the upper falls you can picnic and even walk behind the curtain of water falling, while the lower falls, which cascade over the cliff, are best seen by boat.

In Alanya you can visit the ruins of the 2500 year old citadel, which sits at the top of castle rock overlooking the harbour and old town.

Side / Ilica area

Ilica is a small village close to the popular resorts of Kumkoy and Side with the golf resort of Belek approximately 25 minutes away.

There are many places of interest to visit that are not far away from Ilica, including what is known as the world's finest surviving Roman theatre at Aspendos. Still currently used, the great Pavarotti performed here. During June and July it hosts opera, ballet and musical performances.

North of Aspendos is the stunning Koprulu Canyon on the way to the ruins of the ancient city of Selge.

The Sorgun forest to the east of Side offers walks and horse riding along sandy trails.

Manavgat boasts its attractive waterfall and a weekly Monday market where you can buy designer t-shirts and jeans, hand crafted embroidery, shoes and leather goods. The free shuttle bus from the Four Seasons will take you to the market on a Monday. Alternatively there are boat trips, which include a stop-off at the market along with a visit to the Falls.

Even closer to Ilica, in Side, you can visit the ancient Roman ruins of the temple of Apollo, the museum and the amphitheatre. There is a lovely little harbour with restaurants and bars where you can relax with a drink and admire the view.

Side and Kumkoy have loads of shops open all day till around midnight where you can haggle just like the market. There are also many restaurants and bars and a few night clubs including the well-known OXYD.

The beach between Kumkoy and Side is one long stretch of golden sand with many water sports available including scuba diving, paragliding and jet skis.

There are many places selling trips; boat trips, day trips, white water rafting, dolphin watching, jeep safaris, quad biking, and more.

For the children there is also a water park near Antalya.
