• Discover the real Turkey!
• Superb three-bedroom villa with private pool in a peaceful rural setting, just ten minutes from the picturesque harbour town of Kas. Villa Lykia is in pretty Cukurbag village, which stands right on the famous Lycian Way, making it an ideal base for walking, sight-seeing, wildlife-spotting or simply soaking up the sunshine.
• The villa is well furnished and equipped, with a large garden, inviting swimming pool and shady terraces. The kitchen is fully-equipped with everything you need for a family holiday, and the villa is air-conditioned throughout - essential in the summer months.
• A village shop, bakery and excellent pizza restaurant are all within a couple of minutes drive in the nearby hamlet of Agullu. Our English-speaking property managers live close by and are on hand to give you any help or information you need.

• The remains of many ancient cities, dating back to Lycian, Byzantine and - more recently - the middle ages, can be found within an easy driving distance. These include Arykanda, Xanthos, Patara and Letoon, as well as the less well-known, but equally evocative Kyunae and Hoyran, both of which offer beautiful views and surprisingly intact remains.
• A visit to Kekova (Ucagiz) is not to be missed. Here you can see the remains of an ancient city underneath the sea, long ago destroyed by a major earthquake. Buildings, harbour walls and even mosaics can be seen on a clear, still day. At nearby Simena (Kalekoy), you will find a miniature Lycian city, complete with its own amphitheatre, tucked right inside the remains of a Knights of St John medieval castle, with stunning views through the ramparts across to Kekova and out to sea.
• And if you fancy a day away from all things Turkish, head for the Greek island of Meis, which faces Kas harbour, just a few kilometres out to sea. Ferries leave daily at 10.30am, returning late afternoon.

 Kas / Cukurbag Village

• Kas makes an ideal base for a holiday in a beautiful unspoilt area of Turkey. The town has a good variety of restaurants, offering everything from simple village fare to smart cuisine with just about everything in between. A good range of supermarkets, banks and other services can all be found in the town centre, along with enticing shops selling spices, silver and gold jewellery, leather, carpets, kilims and other unusual textiles.
• As well as two small pebble beaches, Kas has a number of very welcoming beach clubs, where you can sunbathe and swim from man-made platforms. Across the harbour, reached by local boats, which leave every few minutes, you will find the small sand and pebble beaches of Liman Agzi, which are particularly inviting in the hot summer months. Kaputas beach, about 15 minutes drive west of Kas is also stunning, as is the 13km long white sand beach at Patara, about 50 minutes drive west from Kas.
• Cukurbag, just ten minutes from Kas centre, is a haven of peace and traditional rural life. Totally unspoilt, it is home to red and Persian squirrels, tortoises, chameleons and a huge variety of butterflies and birds, including eagles and other birds of prey. Villa Lykia is in a very pretty setting, surrounded by small farms and almond orchards, giving you the chance to experience real Turkish village life, while having all the attractions and conveniences of Kas right on your doorstep.
• Located on the Lycian Way, voted one of the Sunday Times top-ten long distance walks, Cukurbag is an ideal location for a walking holiday which takes in beautiful ancient sites along the way. Information on walks, transportation and guides can be supplied on request.
• If water sports are your thing, Kas has a large selection of diving sites and a number of qualified companies offering a whole range of diving options, including night-, cave- and wreck-diving, as well as open-water diving and Padi open water courses. If you just fancy a lazy day on the water, stroll along the harbour in the evening and you can arrange a day out with a barbecue on board with any of the boat captains - if your party is small, they will arrange for you to join in with another party.
• Back on dry land, there is a labyrinth of mountain tracks and seldom-used asphalt roads, ideal for mountain biking. Other adventure activities include canyoning and abseiling, and Kas is one of only two locations on the whole coast authorised for paragliding.
• Whether you want your holiday to be activity-filled or just plain lazy, you will find Cukurbag the perfect location and, above all, quintessentially Turkish.
