The
VillaSunbathe on any of the four
balconies, chill out in the hammock nicely shaded under the willow tree in
our garden.
After a lazy day by the pool why not have a BBQ on the large front veranda.
Alternatively, enjoy a glass of wine and curl up by the TV and keep up to
date with the news or the latest episode of East Enders. Watch your
favourite DVD or even take off on one of the mountain bikes and explore this lovely
resort. Make sure you read
our visitors book where you will find lots of tips from our previous guests.
Shopping
If you want to find fantastic bargains, then a visit
to one of the many markets is a must, the biggest and best market is held
every Tuesday in Fethiye, just hop on the Dolmus which stops right outside
the Villa or take the water taxi and test your bartering skills. You can
check out Calis Sunday market just down the road from Villa Fleur or take a
boat trip to the beautiful town of Gocek. The mountain town of Hisaronu also
has a weekly market as well as lot's of souvenir shops. Fethiye is a typical
Turkish harbour town, try the fish market where you can select your choice
from the days catch and then have it cooked to your liking at one of the
surrounding restaurants. If you
like Designer clothes, shoes, bags or jewellery then you will find it all
here at very reasonable prices.
Trips
Boats - One of the many boat trips on offer is a
must, you will quickly see why they call this place the Turquoise Coast, the
Mediterranean is clean, clear and warm here. A full day trip visiting
12 of the secluded islands nestled around the bay of Fethiye will cost
as little as £8 and the price also includes lunch.
Explore - If you want to explore deep into the
area away from the tourist trail, take a jeep safari which visits ancient
ruins, little villages and even a fresh water trout farm where you will stop
for lunch. Hire a car and head down the coast to the wonderful Pratara,
Kalkan and Kas. There is absolutely no need to drive to get out and about in
Turkey, the Dolmus ( small minibus service ) goes everywhere and even the
farthest journey is unlikely to cost more than £1. Very few of the local Villages
have been touched by tourism and are great to explore.
You are unlikely to get bored on this holiday, whether
it's History with some of the worlds oldest Archaeological sites and
rock tombs, Adventure with white water rafting, climbing in the
Tauraus mountains, you can try Paragliding and micro-lighting at Olu Deniz or
diving in some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean. Natural
Wonders are all around, don't miss the amazing Salklikent Gorge, the Mud
Baths at Dalyan or Turtle beach where thousands of young caretta turtles
hatch every year. The local Surf Club offers a range of water sports
including Kite Surf and Windsailing. Fresh water and sea fishing are only
minutes away and there is even a water
park just down the road making Villa Fleur the perfect holiday base.

Calis ( Challish ) has miles of sand / shingle
beach, here you can stroll down the promenade which lined with bars and
restaurants. Olu Deniz, is close by and regarded one of the best beaches in
Turkey, the Blue Lagoon at Olu Deniz is a national park and is simply

Paragliding launch sites, Mount Babadag is 6,000 feet above the

simply spectacular. The rest of beach life around the coast consists of
mainly quiet and secluded sandy coves.

some of the names you will not see within 100 miles of Calis! Just across the road from Villa Fleur is the
Palms Restaurant, you will get fantastic service, great fresh food,
good company and a range of theme nights. The Cafe Pazar is a five minute walk from the villa, the food is great quality and even
greater value for money, eating out will not break the bank on this holiday! We have about 4 other good restaurants and a couple of local shops
within 2 minutes walk from the villa. For a great selection of places to eat, stroll down

Calis has a nice balance for young and old, there are
a number of lively music bars and even a disco as well as a number of great
chill out bars and even a traditional Turkish tent bar! Hisaronu is
located up in the mountains is a real party town. For that special occasion
we would recommend a visit to the private Kizilada Island, you will be
picked up by speed boat and transported out to this magical place, get there before sunset for an unforgettable experience. In
Calis you must try the Orient Express, ask for George who will take care of
your every need, try the Bus Stop bar, meet Teo and and the boys and watch

or sample great Turkish food at the Sunset Restaurant.
