Villa Rezene Turkey
Holiday Home Rental Description
Set amidst the hills west of Akyaka, the beautiful Villa Rezene is the ideal southern Turkey getaway. Suitable for up to three guests, this 1-bedroom villa comes with a private pool wrapped with a stunning outdoor terrace.
There’s a serene feel to the peaceful location of this villa, and you can really appreciate it on the impressive terrace. As well as an 8m x 3m pool, there are various areas to relax, with a covered dining area, poolside table and chairs, and a large, comfy bed among them. The mountains in the background and subtle lighting add to the ambiance – this is a space you will want to enjoy well into the evening.
Inside, you have a modern interior which gets lots of natural light through the patio doors. There are two armchairs and a sofa bed, with a well-equipped kitchen just behind. Here you have a coffee machine, fridge, washing machine, oven and all the things you may need. The villa also comes with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and satellite TV.
The master bedroom has floor-to-ceiling windows and a queen-size bed, with the wooden-beamed ceiling adding character. There is also a bathroom with shower on the same floor.
Akyaka is situated on a hillside overlooking a charming bay, at the end of the Gulf of Gökova. This easy-going town is known for its distinctive architectural style and lovely beach, which is around 1.5km from Villa Rezene. You can enjoy water sports, riverside walks, great dining and more in Akyaka – architectural ruins and a pleasant olive farm are among its attractions. Other notable destinations, such as Dalaman, Muğla and Marmaris, are within 30-60 minutes’ drive.
Overlooking Gökova Bay – a view guaranteed not to disappoint – pretty Akyaka has a look and feel all its own. Far from being an overdeveloped resort, the town is known for its distinctive, low-rise wooden buildings. The much-copied architectural style was pioneered by poet, journalist and architect, Nail Çakırhan, who built a house in Akyaka in the 1980s which won a prestigious architecture award.
The town’s lovely beach enjoys a spectacular mountain backdrop, and offers the chance to dine, sunbathe and try water sports. If you prefer to eat elsewhere, you can find plenty of good restaurants in Akyaka’s upper village area. Here, you will find shops and regular street markets, where you can buy locally made gifts and foodie treats like bread and pastries.
A boat trip along the River Azmak is a particularly delightful way to see Akyaka, or you can take a walk along the river bank and admire the wildlife. Another very popular outdoor activity is kite-surfing. In nearby Akçapınar, there’s a beach that’s perfect for it, with a kite-surfing school ready to show you the ropes.
The Akyaka Olive Farm is a popular attraction on the town’s outskirts. You can buy food and beauty products made using the farm’s olive oil and dine in the restaurant looking out over the river. Not far away, the ancient remains of the city which once stood where Aykaka now is – Idyma – make for interesting archaeological fare. If this is your thing, you should also take a boat trip to Cleopatra Island to see the remains of the city of Kedrai.
Turkey is a big honey producer, and in Marmaris, you can find out all about it at the Marmaris Honey House – not forgetting to buy a jar or two of the region’s fine pine honey, of course. Travel a bit further and you could visit one of southern Turkey’s biggest outdoor attractions. Whether you fancy wading through it or zooming across it, the canyon of Saklikent Gorge provides an unforgettable adventure.
