Turkey is not just for Christmas

I found a lovely property in Olu Deniz on the Southwest coast of Turkey. An area recognisable by its long stretch of beach, its blue lagoon, and a backdrop of pine tree clad mountains. This resort feels more like a village resort than a some of its larger neighbours.

The area is perfect for walkers and water sports enthusiasts as well as sunbathers and if you ever fancied hurling yourself off the top of a mountain then this is a great place to go paragliding. For non-paragliders, you can take the cable car up to the top of the mountain to see how impressive the views are without the added adrenaline rush.

The cable car opened in the summer of 2021, so now you can reach 1700 metres without breaking out into a sweat. There are several dining options here as well as the launch point for paragliders, but if you can go an additional 100 metres you will have a better vantage point although dining options are restricted at 1800 metres.

Further afield is the famous Pammukale Thermal Springs (Cotton Castles), here you can immerse yourself in the healing powers of the springs as they cascade down the mountain side. Over the years they have created lots of different pools which you can sit in and enjoy the views.

So regardless of whether you want to chill out for a week* in the sunshine or want to be a little more active, give me a call on 01323 660 109 to discuss.
