The House
This semi-detached villa is situated in a quiet, secure residential location with a large pool on-site, and is within a 20-minute walk of Long Beach, one of the finest in Turkey. It is about 12 miles to the south of the city of Kusadasi, and just over an hour's drive from Izmir airport, to which there are regular flights from London and other UK airports. The property itself nestles on the gently rising slopes between the beautiful Aegean Sea and a lovely mountain backdrop. It is on a smaller compound with around 150 other similar properties. There is off-street car parking available at the house, while the property has a large three-sided, gated veranda and orchard garden with peach and orange trees. The ground floor consists of a large kitchen, with all facilities including oven, hob, fridge-freezer, microwave and dishwasher, with a breakfast bar area separating it from a cosy lounge which includes a large settee which converts into a double bed. There is a toilet on the ground floor. Accessed via a spiral stairway, on the first floor there are three bedrooms - one double with its own balcony and views to the sea, and two singles. There is also a bathroom with toilet and shower on this floor. Up a further spiral stairway is a large sun terrace covering the whole of the area of the house, with spectacular views over the coast and mountains, and which is half-covered to provide shade from the sun. Also up here is a built-in barbecue with an 'outside' kitchen area including sink and washing machine. There is outside patio furniture and sun loungers available for use.

The locality and facilities
There is a large, shared swimming pool with separate children's pool at the bottom of the street within a two-minute walk. There are small shops, restaurants and a hotel also within easy walking distance of the house, as well as a selection of bars and restaurants on Long Beach. For travel anywhere further, we recommend taking a Dolmus (very cheap, reliable and regular Turkish mini-bus), which can be hailed within a two or three-minute walk from the house and which run all day (and evenings in the summer). There is a large, modern supermarket, traditional covered Turkish market, further restaurants and a beautiful wildlife sanctuary and park within a very small bus distance. The bustling town of Kusadasi is about 12 miles away (again, an easy bus or taxi ride), where there are a multitude of shops, a large bazaar, busy harbour, restaurants and night life. The famous Ladies Beach (for both men and women!) is also close to Kusadasi, while there are two waterparks on the outskirts of the town.

Why Turkey?
Turkey is a large and fascinating country, a fusion of East and West and the cultures found in each. The people are extremely friendly and welcoming (with many speaking some English), the food is varied, tasty and inexpensive, even at restaurants, and there is quite literally something for all visitors. With beautiful sandy beaches, breathtaking scenery and fascinating historical sites around every corner, there's plenty to keep anyone occupied, young and not so young. The famous and fascinating ancient city of Ephesus is situated not far from Kusadasi, a day out at which has been voted by our family as the best ever! You can also visit the house of the Virgin Mary on the same day, where she was thought to have spent her final years after the crucifixion and acknowledged by the Vatican as a holy site. Other days out include one to Dalyan and the famous mud baths, the market at Soke, said to be one of the finest in Turkey, or a Lazy Day cruise around the sparkling coastline, stopping off at several locations for a dip in the clear Aegean waters (don't forget your snorkel). All of these trips and many more are on offer at great prices from local agents.
