Guest testimonials:

"Whilst our party ranged in age from 8 months to 63, we all were impressed and amazed at the hospitality not only from you, but from everyone we encountered in Koycegiz. The villas are stunning, the pool is immaculate - we had a fantastic time, from the mud baths to bartering in the market- we cannot thank you enough. We will recommend your villas, hospitality and town to all."

"Fifteen of us stayed in beautiful 2 detached villas in Koycegiz, South West Turkey. Only half an hour to Dalaman airport...had a lot of fun, went to mud baths and Turtle Beach. And the price was so good too for 15 of us."

Special Interest Holidays, Day Excursions and Boat Trips

We operate day excursions and boat trips to places of interest, including Ephesus, Pamukkale, Fethiye, Oludeniz, Kaya Koy, Gocek, Dalyan, Marmaris, and Akyaka.

Koycegiz Lake runs via a river delta to the Mediterranean Sea, so beautiful beaches such as Turtle Beach, Iztuzu Beach, Sarigerme Beach and Ekincik Bay are easily accessible. The surrounding countryside is agricultural, producing oranges, lemons, olives, pine honey and cotton. The region is steeped in history, and the ancient city of Caunos, with its Lycian rock tombs and amphitheatre and the natural thermal spa at Sultaniye, with its healing waters and mud baths are not to be missed. The large fresh water lake is a haven for wildlife, and turtles can sometimes be seen while sipping an evening aperitif in the cafes and restaurants which line the water’s edge. Koycegiz is ideally situated to visit sites of ancient, historical and cultural interest, and the holidays and tours we offer reflect this.
