The villa can sleep six people, so yes, its ideal for the family or a small group of friends that want to spend a couple of weeks together in the sun.
What linen is supplied in the Dreamturkishvilla?
Because of the wonderful weather, we have found that a simple sheet to cover the bed, a second sheet to lay over you, and a warm blanket are ideal. There is a large selection of bath and hand towels for your use as well. There are specific towels for use at the beach and pool.
Can we drink the water?
Apparently yes, but we recommend that you buy spring water in bottles just to be on the safe side. Boiling the tap water for tea and coffee is fine.

Different airlines service Dalaman Airport. It takes approximately 3 1/2 to 4 hours to fly to Dalaman. See our Flights page for information on buying flight tickets.
How is the Kitchen equipped?
We found from experience that it is important to have a kitchen that can be used to make up a good meal for the villa guests. The fully refurbished fitted kitchen has a proper oven and hob, microwave, a large fridge freezer, a washing machine and a dishwasher. All standard kitchen utensils, like cutlery, plates, bowls, cups, glasses, saucepans and bowls are included.
How much does a meal out cost?
Restaurants and bars offer great value for money in Dalyan. Our tip is to explore first, don't jump into the first restaurant you see.

Yes, there is! It is very important to be able to talk to a local representative about the villa, issues you may have, or any local information. Our representative is a Turkish local with an excellent understanding of the English language.
Is there a pool?
Yes, there is a great 10 x 6 metre / 32 x 19-foot private swimming pool for your use. It has steps leading down to it, and a sloping depth from 1.2 metres shallow end to a 2-meter deep end. The pool has a sun terrace around it with garden furniture to catch those rays!
Is there a sun terrace?
Yes, there is a sun terrace around the pool, and also one outside the lounge and kitchen, so that you can eat outside if you wish.
Is there air conditioning?
Yes. We have fitted air conditioning in each of the three bedrooms and the downstairs living room / dining room area. However, we would be grateful if you could take care when using the air conditioning both the sake of the environment and our electricity bills. Electricity costs much more in Turkey as it does in the UK!

The town is a lovely holiday town, with plenty of things to do, restaurants and bars to visit and activities to take part in. You can participate in a jeep safari, white water rafting, paragliding, scuba diving, beach bathing, turtle watching, river trips, mountain biking, trekking and visit roman ruins to name but a few.
What day does a booking start and finish on?
Ideally, bookings run from Sunday 2 pm to Sunday 10 am. However, we try and be as flexible as possible to meet your needs. Sunday to Sunday allows you to catch the important Saturday market and have a weeks break. Or longer of course!

Some sell attractively priced goods that look remarkably like other more expensive goods in city shops, other shops are official outlets, such as Quiksilver. Then there is the normal range of souvenir and local produce available. There is a great local market held on Saturdays which has to be seen to be believed!

Where is the villa?
The villa is on the outskirts of the town of Dalyan, which is on the south coast of Turkey. Use this Google Earth KMZ file to pinpoint it exactly. Please remember that the ground image used in Google Earth is way out of date now, so there are more villas around and the majority of the roads are now paved, rather than tracked.
