The small attractive town of Koycegiz (pronounced kur-y-jees) situated at the head of a lake with stunning views of the surrounding mountains, is the ideal place for your villa holiday in Turkey. Koycegiz is just a boat ride from the Mediterranean Sea and the Turquoise Coast and 20 minutes from Dalaman international airport. If you are after a taste of the real Turkey, then this off the beaten track location normally popular with turkish tourists is the place for you.

Located near the beautiful Turquoise coast, close to beaches on the Mediterranean Sea and the famous resorts of Dalyan, Fethiye and Marmaris, yet away from the crowds and hassle.

Koycegiz is not a large tourist resort- expect peaceful lakeside cafes, bars and restaurants, real Turkish cuisine, stunning views and the hospitality of the friendly local people and your hosts, Bulent Hava & family.

 

Special Interest Holidays, Day Excursions and Boat Trips

 

We operate day excursions and boat trips to places of interest, including Ephesus, Pamukkale, Fethiye, Oludeniz, Kaya Koy, Gocek, Dalyan, Marmaris, and Akyaka.

Koycegiz Lake runs via a river delta to the Mediterranean Sea, so beautiful beaches such as Turtle Beach, Iztuzu Beach, Sarigerme Beach and Ekincik Bay are easily accessible. The surrounding countryside is agricultural, producing oranges, lemons, olives, pine honey and cotton. The region is steeped in history, and the ancient city of Caunos, with its Lycian rock tombs and amphitheatre and the natural thermal spa at Sultaniye, with its healing waters and mud baths are not to be missed. The large fresh water lake is a haven for wildlife, and turtles can sometimes be seen while sipping an evening aperitif in the cafes and restaurants which line the water’s edge. Koycegiz is ideally situated to visit sites of ancient, historical and cultural interest, and the holidays and tours we offer reflect this.
