What you will love about this home

In January 2015, the New York Times travel section listed 52 places in the world to visit in 2015, Kas was suggested on that list. The house is in a beautiful area of Turkey on the Turquoise Coast, The area is in fact where Turkish people from Istanbul and Ankara come for their holidays to enjoy the peace and scenery of this delightful coastline. The south-facing house usually has a slight breeze to offset the heat of the sun and there are superb sea and mountain views. The house is situated in the Turkish village of Gokseki,which is 5k from the town of Kas,and 14k from the town of Kalkan. This is not a tourist village so it is very peaceful.There are no restaurants or bars,but you will feel part of the Turkish community,and the local people are very friendly.There are two small shops in the village,and of course the mosque. The bus service to and from Kas are every 30 minutes during the summer months,and hourly in the Spring, Autumn and Winter.The journey takes about 10 minutes( A one hour downhill walk to Kas) The nearest beach is a 30 minute walk or 5 minutes by car or bus.At the beach there is a cafe,and the usual sunbeds/umbrellas are also available.
