We decided on the area first because of the fantastic views of the mountains, the accessibility of the beach and the advantage of being 10 minutes walk from the night life and having the choice of sanctuary due to the quite surroundings. We choose this villa because of the amount of space inside, also for its beautiful views. It also has a wonderful outside space, comprising of the pool, dining area & sun bathing area. The only way to enjoy the Twelve Islands (Oniki Adalari) is to cruise in the Turkish gullet or take a daily boat trip. Gullet cruises provide access to tourist free secluded bays where you can snorkel, swim and climb the cliffs or just relax. The trip includes visiting Afodit Koya (Cleopatras Bath) an ancient ruined bath where Cleopatra supposedly bathed when she was traveling en route from Egypt to Rome. It is said that swimming here will give you true beauty!! You will also visit Merdivenli (Step Ladder Bay) which has an ancient cave cut into the side of the rock. Another island Tersane Adasi (Shipyard Island) has ruins of an ancient shipyard and one island that will get the children excited is St Nicholas Island after the famous man who wears the red suit, this island is full of 4th century ruins from the days when St Nicholas used to worship here. However it is up to the parents to explain to the puzzled kids how he traveled from here to Lapland!!! Saklikent Gorge High in the mountains above Fethiye, rushing torrents of icy cold water have cut a narrow gorge through the mountains over thousands of years creating Saklikent Gorge. A natural wonder, the resulting Canyon is 300 metres deep 18 kilometres long and a breathtaking sight. Saklikent in Turkish means Hidden City. A cool refuge in long hot summer days provides a favorite picnic spot where rustic restaurants overhanging the river serve delicious fresh trout and other local delicacies. During winter the gorge is a popular resort for winter sports. In March and April you can ski in the morning and swim in the warm water of the Mediterranean in the afternoon!
