Property Description

The Byre is the first of the Sakli Vadi cottages that was bought and is the largest of the three. The ruin was bought in 1993 and took a little over a year to restore.

The restoration was done after much research into what the original building looked like, both inside and out. The cottage was awarded a plaque from the Turkish Ministry Of Tourism & Culture for “Sympathetic Restoration Of Turkish Heritage” of which the owners Sandy & Jon Carter are justifiably proud.

Living Area

The interior of the cottage consists of a hallway cut into the rock leading onto the kitchen on one side and the master double bedroom, with en suite bathroom on the other. Leading off the fully fitted kitchen is a very large lounge with a traditional log burning stove, for use in the winter months. The lounge has a balcony area which has two single beds, ideal for teenagers. This type of house design was very common in the area in the 19th. and early 20th. centuries.

Kitchen Facilities

The kitchen is fully fitted, with a microwave oven and four burner hob for those of our guests wanting to cook and there is a fridge to keep food and drinks cool. There is sufficient crockery, cutlery, pots and pans for a family of four. The kitchen looks out onto a totally private walled patio garden.

Outside

The cottage is situated at the highest point at the western end of the Kaya valley, with stunning views in all directions. Over the years the flower beds have become well established and shade is provided by some beautiful trees and a covered pergola. Total privacy is assured as the shared pool is accessed by steps through a gate leading up through the garden.

Suitability

This cottage is ideal for a couple who want lots of space. The cottage, because of it's layout will accommodate a family of four comfortablty. As the two single beds are on a balcony, we do suggest they are really only suitable for teenagers.

Local Activities

For visitors who are active, the Kaya Valley has plenty to offer. It's wonderful for walking, cycling, photography, jogging and water sports at Gemilier Bay or Oludeniz. For the daring amoungst our visitors, you can tandem hang glide off Baga Dag mountian ! For those who just want to chill out, the area is quiet and peacful.

For those looking for a bargain, the Tuesday Market every week in Fethiye is a must do.

Other Information

If it's night life you want, then Hisaranou, Oludeniz and Fethiye, approximately 20 minutes away, have it in abundance.

As part of ancient Lycia, the area has some of the worlds most famous archaeological sites such as Xanthos, Letoon, Patara and Kadyanda, to mention just a few.
