Location
Olive Grove Villa is a recently built detached Ottoman style luxury 3 bedroom 3 bathroom villa and is set on a quiet Turkish hillside with extensive panoramic views over the Bay of Turgutreis and the Aegean Sea. Situated on the exclusive gated “Zeytin Bag Sitesi� the translation is “Olive Grove Site�. With olive, lemon and lime trees this tranquil and picturesque setting is perfect for a relaxing carefree holiday. It is recommended for parties who find pleasure in a restful setting and long sultry evenings. The glorious red sunsets over the outlying islands are breathtaking. For those who prefer it a little bit livelier, Turgutreis, which is a quiet resort with a golden beach and turquoise waters, is a few minutes drive away where there is an abundance of seaside restaurants that are very reasonably priced. Turgutreis doesn't have any clubs but there are plenty of bars (all welcome children) where you can relax and have a quiet drink. Taxis are very cheap. You can also catch a dolmus (local mini buses) which costs literally pennies. Cars are also relatively cheap to hire for those who want to explore the peninsular at their own pace.

The Villa
The villa contains 3 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Downstairs is an extensive open plan living room, which has 3 double bed settees. The living room is approached through the front door via a large open sun terrace. There are a further 2 sun terraces off the living room, a large terrace at the front with a cast iron barbecue to enjoy alfresco dining and a smaller terrace situated on the other side of the villa. There is also a family bathroom with shower, dining area with seating for 12 people and a fully fitted kitchen with all utensils that includes a hob, washing machine, a fan - assisted oven and a large fridge freezer. A spiral staircase takes you up to the second floor. Upstairs to the right is an open lounge, which has a double bed settee and 2 single chairs, 1 of which converts into a small bed settee. The lounge features a minstrel's gallery overlooking the living room; this leads to the master bedroom, which includes a dressing room, large en-suite with jaccuzi and shower, and a balcony, which overlooks the Bay of Turgutreis. The double bed is situated directly opposite the balcony so, as can be seen from the photograph below, the view over the bay of Turgutreis when you go to sleep at night with the warm seaside lights and wake up in the morning with the turquoise Aegean sea is picture perfect. To the left along another minstrels gallery is the second bedroom. This is a double bedroom with its own balcony. The family bathroom follows this and along a third minstrel's gallery is the final double bedroom. Above the three minstrel's galleries is a large red brick Ottoman Dome that is typical Ottoman architecture, the dome can be seen from the living room.

Local Area
Turgutreis is named after the great Turkish Admiral of the same name who was born here in the 16th century. Known in the west as Dragut, Turgutreis is primarily known for his participation in the Ottoman siege of Malta. A few kilometres outside of town a waterfront memorial marks the place where he first set sail. Today the town bearing the great admiral's name is a centre for commerce on the western side of the peninsula. Produce from the surrounding villages is collected here for transport, bakeries, shops and services flourish. For the more recreational minded, Turgutreis features kilometres of sandy beaches, waterfront restaurants which supply food of surprisingly good quality in an un-crowded environment and perfect for watching the sun set and bars all with a special Turkish flavour. A market is held every Saturday and is the biggest and cheapest in the area with trips coming from all over the peninsular. You will be surprised and delighted with what you can buy with ten pound! Gümüslük - 20 minutes ride away on dolmus. This peaceful village is one of the oldest settlements on the peninsula. It has modest restaurants and several pensions and motels, but it retains a small-scale atmosphere for the simple reason that most of the village is designated an official archaeological site so that no landscaping alterations or new groundbreakings are allowed. If you walk for ten minutes to the bay north east of Gümüslük you will see a buried wall jutting from a hillside into the sea. While the area'' archaeological status forbids diving with tanks, snorklers will find more walls under water here, as well as an ancient breakwater in the harbour. Those visiting by boat will want to stay close to the island on the eastern side of the entrance to avoid hitting underwater structures.
