Villa Syrna - Zwei Schlafzimmer Villa, Schläft 4

Villa Syrna is a characteristic 2-bedroom house, perfect for an away-from-it-all, romantic and peaceful escape. This holiday is as far away from mass tourism as one could get, yet has the creature comforts we have all come to expect and enjoy. The villa is in a stunning setting in the forests of the Bozburun Peninsula with easy access to beaches, villages, and tiny harbours.

Villa Syrna was built in 2017 using traditional local stone, by the charming Turkish owner, Ayhan, who we have known for many years. Ayhan is a qualified guide and is happy to offer private guided adventures - be they on foot, or by car - around the unspoilt peninsula or further afield to breath-taking sites like Ephesus or Aphrodisias.

The villa is laid out over one floor. Enter a large open-plan room with sitting, kitchen, and dining areas. The room benefits from a double-height ceiling, with windows providing an incredible view across the valley to the sea in the distance. The interiors feature a lot of natural wood and fabrics, furnishings are comfortable with traditional Turkish style. The two bedrooms, a twin, and a double, are located to either side of the living area, with a family shower/ WC between.

Doors open onto an alfresco dining terrace, and pool area, again enjoying amazing views across the village to the mountains. The pool is infinity style with water cascading over the edge. The is cool jacuzzi built from stone, perfect to sit in and enjoy the view with a glass of wine.  The area looks down over terraces of wild ground down the hillside.

A car is essential to explore the local area, an area that has only recently been discovered by Turkey's domestic tourism.  This is the perfect villa for a taste of real Turkey, either for couples or a small family and the perfect away from it all romantic and peaceful escape.

If you're a larger family or two families travelling together, Villa Gulseren is close by.

Location:

Located above the sleepy village of Bayir in the centre of the Bozburun Peninsula in Turkey. Villa Syrna is in a remote location but enjoys the most amazing views across the rugged countryside towards the sea. The position is fabulous for exploring the traditional villages and small shigle beaches, with simple restaurants behind.  Surrounded by gardens and pine tree-lined forests, you can go on scenic rambles.

In Bayir itself, 3km from the villa, there are a handful of mini markets for picking up your daily essentials, alongside a few friendly local restaurants for trying traditional Turkish cuisine. The nearest sandy beach is at Delik or Ciftlik, just 10 minutes' drive. More unspoilt beaches, harbours and fishing villages of Hisaronu, Selimiye and Sogut are a 25-30-minute drive away. All these spots boast fabulous restaurants where you can experience traditional Turkish fayre and the freshest catch of the day.

There are a host of day trips, the small seaside town of Bozburun, known for building the traditional wooden gulets; there is a cooling waterfall and also The Carpet Weaver's Association at Turgutkoy; Osmaniye has a Bee Museum showing the local methods of an age-old trade, still practised by the villagers in Bayir. Slightly further afield is also the port town of Datca and the ancient ruins of city of Knidos. There, on the tip of the peninsula, where the cultures of Lydia, Persia, and the Byzantine and Ottoman empires stud the landscape, ancient church ruins, cisterns, and tombstones for exploring.

If you are a keen walker or want to discover more of this beautiful part of Turkey, you can walk some of the Carian Trail, Turkey's 500-mile long-distance path. It winds through the peninsula, with many places where you can enter it for a short stroll. The tracks on the hillsides around Bozburun are marked with sign post and painted markings, so you shouldn’t get lost!
