The Turquoise Coast is just as spectacular as its name advocates. Radiant blue waves caress secluded coves and some of the country's most iconic and world renowned beaches – such as Patara and Ölüdeniz.  The word 'turquoise' originally comes from the French word for 'Turkish'.

In the west is the Datça Peninsula, a Mediterranean landscape of rolling hills and olive trees looking out on a sea dotted with Greek islands. East of Bodrum, a more-touristy town, you'll find the Lycian coast with its rich mix of ruins and camera-ready beaches. Each Lycian coast destination has a distinct feel: Such as Ölüdeniz, a little crowded but with a lovely lagoon; Göcek, laid back with beautiful beach clubs; low-key Patara with 18km of sandy beach; upscale Kalkan, once visited, always returned to; lively Kas with a huge selection of restaurants bars and shops.

It's not all about beaches, bars and restaurants though. There are many other things to do during your stay; boat tours, riding, water skiing, jet skiing, paragliding, sailing, snorkelling, scuba-diving, cycling, and fishing. We guarantee that if you're the active type you won't be disappointed with Turkey!

On the other hand, some of us prefer our holidays to be quiet, peaceful and calming. The Turquoise Coast is a paradise of calm. There are long, empty stretches of sand to walk along, endless mountain trails, sunsets to take your breath away, and welcoming little cafes dotted around where you can while away a few hours with a coffee and a good book. Alternatively, why not just chill out by the pool at your luxury villa!

To enjoy what this special place has to offer, you want to stay in a special villa, and that's what we have. Staying in a private villa is a wonderful experience - relaxing by the pool, throwing a fish on the barbeque, no concerns, and no disturbances. A villa holiday can also be remarkably cheap: Premier Villas prices are for the villa complete, so divide the cost by the number of people in your party and it can be very economical compared to staying in a hotel.
