Villa Citllik Turkey

Perched on a pine-tree-covered hillside with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and famous Ghost Town of Kayakoy, three-bedroomed Villa Citllik in Turkey offers picturesque scenery and a peaceful retreat backed by beautiful forestry land. The charming stone-built villa boasts a large and secluded swimming pool, beautifully-furnished interiors and even an outdoor Jacuzzi bathtub.
The three bedrooms are wonderfully spacious, and all boast balconies overlooking the serene natural surrounds. Each of the rooms assures modern décor with soft colour hues and they are equipped with lovely bathrooms (no fighting over the shower) and plenty of wardrobe space. Extra thoughtful touches include air conditioning and mirrored dressing tables. With glass double doors opening onto the balconies, you can flood the rooms with the beautiful natural light and make the most of those stunning natural vistas – think towering trees and hills as far as the eye can see.
With the large pool outside, the circular Jacuzzi bathtub tucked into a quiet part of the garden and a sun terrace lined with comfortable chairs; Villa Citllik really is the perfect place to shake off work and pamper yourself silly in peace and sunshine. There are grassy spots in the garden – ideal for laying with your holiday read or for children to play – and an alfresco dining table on the balcony. The villa also has a barbeque, bright fully-equipped kitchen and indoor dining table, so mealtimes are a bliss at this villa. For picking up your fresh produce, there are local shops and markets only 2-3km away.
Plan your daily excursions in the villa’s comfortable lounge, with sofas and a feature fireplace creating a homely setting. With olive tree vineyards, the popular Lycian Way trail and Kayakoy Ghost Town all within reach, there’s plenty to keep you busy. The hamlet of Keciler is also a 10-minute drive from the harbour town of Fethiye and 15 minutes from Oludeniz beach on the famous turquoise coast. Relax by your pool, swim in the sea or explore the historic sites, it’s up to you!
Villa Citllik is in Kayakoy, a sleepy village about 8km south of Fethiye in southwestern Turkey. Nestled in the hillside in the tree-covered mountains and overlooking Kaya valley, it’s a quiet spot and is an ideal place to go walking or hiking. From the villa, it’s a short walk to the famous and atmospheric Kayakoy Ghost village, the inspiration for Louis De Bernier’s ‘Birds without Wings’, novel. There you’ll find a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, as well as traditional restaurants and shops.
For keen walkers there’s the Lycian Way or for those less serious a myriad of paths from Kayakoy Ghost village, which lead to remote beaches like Cold Water Bay (around 5.5km away) – a stunning family-friendly beach with turquoise swimming waters and a soft, sandy shoreline – or to the monastery ruins of Afkule (around 4km away), dramatically perched on a cliff ledge above the sea.
The town of Fethiye is about a 15-minute drive to the north. It’s best known for its natural harbour and ancient rock tombs including the 4th-century B.C. Tomb of Amyntas carved into the mountains. You can browse the markets in Fethiye and pick up fresh produce or sample the local delicacy – delicious gozleme (thin dough crepes). Top off the day with a treatment at one of the Turkish Baths. There are also plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars for a drink or bite to eat.
For more fun day trips, you can explore the near-shore islands by boat. 20-minutes to the south is the sandy beach at Oludeniz, which is sheltered by a lagoon and is prime swimming and water sports spot due to its crystal-clear and calm waters. You can also head 24km to Butterfly Valley – a designated nature reserve that’s home to diverse butterfly species. Further afield, you’ll find the Lycian site of Tlos and Saklikent Gorge which is a great day out.
