  Description

  We live in a small village in Mesudiye on the beautiful Datca Pennisula, Turkey. We built our house ten years ago. We have four grown up children who are here when they can take holidays from their work and study in the UK.
  Our house is modern and guests will have a double room (with single or double bed) and access to bathroom used mainly by themselves We would only use it to access the washing machine.
  The village is surrounded by hills, pine trees and the beach is only 10-15 minutes walk away. It is a beautiful bay, which always has quiet spots even at the busiest times of the summer. There are other small bays within walking distance.
  The ancient ruin of Knidos can be visited either by boat trip or bus.
  The local town - Datca is 45 minutes away and can be reached using the regular local bus service. Datca has everything available - supermarkets, restaurants, bars , boat trips etc. It is a resort but has very few foreign tourists.
  Datca is famous for bringing good health, the climate is wonderful and fresh fruit and vegetables are in abundance. The local specialties are honey and almonds.
