The whittles July 2009
Review Submitted: July 27, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
Our family of 5, 3 kids, 12, 10 and 7, stayed in John and Carols villa in the middle of July 2009. It's fantastic. John and Carol are so helpful, sending plenty of infomation via email, post and telephone before departure. On arrival we were met by Serkan, their turkish caretaker/general helper. He's on call 24/7 via a mobile provided to guests. The villa is very spacious, with all the amenities you'd expect, the pool is very clean and a brilliant size and not to deep for the kids. The villa is in a fantastic position, 5 minute walk from Chalis, lovely and not over lively, and only a 20 minute water taxi, great experience, from Fethiye, the nearest town. The food in the restaurants in this area is the best i've ever had on a med holiday! The people in the area really make you feel at home. Overall the villa was perfect as is the area, John has already recieved the deposit for our next stay, we've only been back 4 day's! The road from the airport to Chalis is more or less one straight road so the next time we go I'll hire a car from the airport. Olu Deniz is lovely as are the mud baths in Dalyan. The area is steeped in history, the Kings Garden restaurant has one of the best views of Fethiye and will pick you up for free and take you home. Have your starters then have a small trek up to the 6000 yr old tomb which overlooks the restaurant, come down and finish your meal, the waiters encourage this. The river at the bottom of the road, near the villa, is full of fish and is very pleasant to walk along during the day, and to spot turtles, on your way to the local shop. Again this is a fantastic villa owned by a fantastic couple in a fantastic area. The best family holiday we've ever had.
