The spacious third bedroom is on the top floor, snuggled under the eaves, with a double bed, an in-room Jacuzzi bath, an ensuite bedroom, and a balcony with a view.
Access the terrace via the floor to ceiling sliding doors of the living space, where you will find an enclosed garden and private swimming pool. The step entry pool is an impressive fifty square metres long enough for a few lengths. Azure blue cushioned sun loungers surround the pool with shady parasols. A separate shallow children’s pool is perfect for your younger kids to splash and play all day. Enjoy a morning coffee or sunset sundowner at the undercover soft seating area before dining alfresco under a twinkling sky, with dishes freshly grilled on the barbecue.Villa Manisa is nestled in the Taurus mountains near the village of Ovacik and within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and shops selling essentials for your stay. The villa is located between the bustling town of Fethiye, and the tourist destinations of Hisaronu and Olu Deniz, both just fifteen minutes away. Hisaronu is a haven of supermarkets, cafes, bars, restaurants, and some super souvenir shops.
Take a short trip to Olu Deniz, where you will find one of the world’s best golden sandy beaches, the iconic and much photographed blue lagoon and spit, lively seashore restaurants and bars, and exclusive shops. From here, you can hop aboard a water taxi to Butterfly Valley or cross the sea to Gemile Island, aka Aya Nikola, a natural protected area that is now an open-air museum. For the thrill seekers, head up the hill and take the cable car to the top of Mount Babadag; at almost two thousand metres, you can jump off and paraglide solo or in tandem and land on Olu Deniz beach.
For shopping and the city, Fethiye is your destination. Fethiye is a smart harbour town with yachts moored the length of the coastline, home to an ancient amphitheatre, historical museum and rock tombs, and an embarkation point for the must-do Twelve Island boat trip. There is a foodie-heaven fish market for a catch of the day fabulous feast, super souvenir shops selling your favourite designer brands, and a renowned large local market every Tuesday. If it’s international glamour you are looking for, go to Gocek and see the super yachts and star spot, and if you want to go further afield, all aboard the ferry at Fethiye and nip across to the Greek island of Rhodes for the day.
If it’s history you are after, you’ve come to the right place; hike the Lycian Way and take a trip through time. Trace the past with trips to Xanthos, the ancient capital of Lycia, and home to the oldest republic in the world, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site; discover mosaics, amphitheatres, agoras, and an acropolis. Walk the ancient ruins of Patara, the birthplace of St Nicholas, better known as Santa Claus, and lose yourself on its twenty kilometre sandy beach, and also home to the famous Turkish hatching turtles. Explore the rock tombs of Tlos, carved into the façade of the ancient city ruins, where you will find a necropolis, Roman baths, and an Ottoman Basilica. Head for Letoon to see the mosaic of the goddess Leto as you wander through the Temple of Apollo. Whilst the honeycomb cliffs of Pinara hosts nine hundred rock tombs and a theatre in a verdant setting. In Fethiye, you will find ancient sites dating back to two hundred years BC, the Lycian city of Telmessos, and the rock tombs of Amyntas, as well as sarcophagi and a theatre immediately opposite the harbour, built to hold six thousand spectators, climb to the top for some fabulous sea views. Bring all of this together in the Fethiye Archeological Museum, full of local history, culture, and ephemera, most notably the Trilingual Stele, excavated at Letoon and inscribed with the languages of Lycia, Ancient Greek and Aramaic.
