Indoors:

The Turkish villa has hopefully been equipped with everything that guests require to make their stay comfortable. Change of bed linen and towels will be arranged on a weekly basis. Guests are requested to provide their own pool towels. A starter pack of basic provisions will be provided. Guests will be met at the airport on arrival and guided to the villa, where any necessary assistance will be given.

A single satellite TV antenna provides the signal for several villas. This provides access to many UK programmes through the satellite box provided.

There is currently no land line telephone at the villa, but there is a reasonable mobile signal (on the upper terrace).

Outdoors:

Pool maintenance, garden maintenance and 24 hour security is provided under contract through the local agents, Curbanoglu. Ample car parking space is provided in the driveway adjacent to the villa.

Further Details

Smoking is strictly not permitted inside the villa (though is permitted outside on the terraces), and any breach of this house rule will result in retention of the security deposit.

Road access from Dalaman to Whiterock is fully tarred but considerable care is necessary (particularly after dark), as the road is narrow and falls away quite steeply in places. Be warned and drive carefully!

General Information

Words cannot do justice to the superb position of this villa, which is located in the very secluded and private Akkaya valley overlooking a beautiful lake, with pine forested mountains rising steeply around it.

Access is easy to restaurants in the Dalaman area (only 15 mins drive), or in the international yachting centre of Gocek (only 20 mins drive through a new tunnel). Good beaches are only 20 -30 mins drive away. Main attractions at the villa are the complete peace and quiet in this beautiful Akkaya valley, where there are opportunities for many activities, including sailing on the nearby lake, or on the sea from Gocek, which has become a fashionable and very popular yachting centre.

Other activities may include fishing, horse riding, rafting, walking, bird watching, or simply relaxing and listening to the croaking of frogs in the adjacent stream. The private 40 sq metre swimming pool in front of the villa is an unusual shape as it has been moulded around two huge rocks in front of the property. The villa has been furnished to a higher than average standard by the owner.

One of the unique features of this small development, is the very beautiful gardens in the deep ravine in front of the villas, with delightful paths (well lit by very attractive lighting features which blend in with the surroundings) pools, bridges across the stream, facilities for barbecues, and tree platforms for observing nature, or having a quiet drink. A meal can now be enjoyed at the Akkaya Gardens Restaurant and bar (subject to seasonal closure). There is direct access to this restaurant from the villa (only 2 minutes walk) down a well lit path and numerous steps (access for the disabled is still possible by car, taking a different route). There is an attractive grass roofed cocktail bar on a timber platform overlooking a pool often frequented by frogs and toads. Have your drink there or take it to one of several tree platforms a few yards away (see photos) although climbing down again afterwards after a drink or two is entirely your own responsibility! The restaurant so far has been located in the open air in the surrounding gardens (lovely for warm evenings), but a covered restaurant has now been built (opening Spring 2009), with cooler days in mind.

Other facilities such as a Medical Centre (with an English speaking doctor), a Library, a small Supermarket, Tennis Courts, a Creche and a Health Club are all planned in due course.

Please note that the pool is unfenced (as is customary in Turkey) and is very close to the villa. Extra care therefore needs to be taken regarding the supervision of very young children. Similarly the top terrace has a low level balustrade which may be hazardous for the very young (the solution is to keep the door to this terrace locked). The villa is located on a steep hillside. There are some steep drops and the owner will not accept responsibility for injuries or accidents resulting from a lack of parental supervision.

Smoking is strictly not permitted inside the villa (though is permitted outside on the terraces), and any breach of this house rule will result in retention of the security deposit.

How to get there

For most of the year charter airlines such as Fly Thomas Cook, Thomson Fly, Monarch all fly direct to Dalaman from London Gatwick or Manchester (much less frequent in winter).

Easy Jet are now operating direct to Dalaman from Gatwick North.

Turkish Airlines via Istanbul for more choice of timings on scheduled flights (and the possibility of stop over in Istanbul) or or the Turkish budget airline Onur Air (booked though www.aegeanflights.com)

Suggest looking at one of the search engine sites such as www.travelsupermarket.com or www.skyscanner.net or www.avro.co.uk for a selection of flights available on dates required. Consider also flights to Bodrum or Antalya, but these are most more than three hours drive from Dalaman.

The villa is in the mountains, overlooking a lake. Approx 30 mins from Dalaman airport. You will definitely need a car. Special rates available from Ercan Rent a Car.
