terra villas
description: Set in wild and beautiful mountains, the 4 charming villas of terra Villas are the perfect place to relax and get away from it all! Great care has been take to ensure that each Villa does not impact on the privacy of other guests. Set in beautiful and wild mountain gardens overlooking the Lycian coast, Terra Villas is a place to explore the surrounding area rich with wildlife and birds. A great place to spend in the summer or the winter for those wanting to see a different Turkey!
The Villas enjoy a fantastically isolated location hidden deep n the forest overlooking the spectacular bay of Gokova. Although seemingly remote, they are ideally situated for exploring the delights of the local environs and the stunning Lycian Coast.
The pretty town of Akyaka with its 'Ula Mugla' style of architecture, renowned river restaurants, sandy town beach and the lovely pebble beach at Cinar is only a 12 minute drive from the villas.
The villas are centrally placed to provide access to Marmaris, Bozburun and Datça peninsula as well as to Dalyan and Fethiye,Muğla and the local resort of Akyaka with its famous fish restaurants. Ula with its very interesting architecture of Ottomans and Greeks is also in reachable distance. Pamukkale, Ephesus, Aphrodisias, Caunos and Cnidos and their spectacular archeological sights can be visited in a day. There are many local markets in which to haggle and enjoy local produce and culture, as well as meeting the colourful people. All this is available but you do have to tear yourself away from this stunning location as you might just be tempted to laze and read a book!
We have always worked
with the people from the Ataköy village. They helped us to reconstruct
the houses, pools and open places. The sort of tourism we aim to promote
here is the authentic values of Turkey beside sun and sea. We
have lunches in the village houses serving only Turkish cuisine to our
guests and daily village tours. For 2 years we have been recycling in our
litter with different coloured bins.The recycled litter (tin cans, paper)
is collected by one village family, a contribution to their budget. Villa
guests are welcome to collect mullberries in May, figs in September
and organic vegetables from the garden.
