Two Unique, Restored Turkish Cottages with pool in Idyllic Rural Village

The Kaya Cottages are two unique, authentic Turkish Farm Cottages in the rural Village of Kaya.

Both are unique in style and beautifully decorated. The beautifully tiled raised pool area overlooks the picturesque Kaya Valley and surrounding mountains and forest. Each cottage has a private seating area and garden surrounds the property. Kaya is one of the rare places where you will truly find the unspoilt side of Turkey and experience real Turkish culture and Village life. It is the perfect place to relax or to explore. Visit the ruins of a Greek town dating back to Lycian and Roman times, find a hidden Monastery overlooking the Mediterranean, sample Turkish Wine, Cuisine and Hospitality at nearby family owned restaurants or swim and chat with Turkish locals at Gemiler Beach.

Accommodation and Facilities for The Smokehouse in Turkey

Kaya Village

Kaya Village is located around the historic ruins of Levissi. Nearly 2000 ruins lie nestled against the hillside, forming an open-air museum or “Ghost Town”. Levissi was abandoned following a population exchange between Greece and Turkey in the early 1920’s. Exploring the site via worn pathways weaving between houses and churches is a wonderful experience. The ruins of Levissi were the inspiration for the Louis De Bernieres novel Birds Without Wings. Birds Without Wings begins in the early 1900s in an idyllic town in South West Anatolia during the declining years of the Ottoman Empire. It traces the fortunes of one small community in which Christian and Muslim lived and how traditions have co-existed peacefully over the centuries.

Car Hire

Car hire is not necessary but if guests are thinking about renting a car, it is a very good way to see the best of what the area has to offer. Car hire is charged on a weekly rate or a daily rate for bookings less than a week.

Dolmes Bus

The local transport in the area is the 'Dolmus ' bus. Previous visitors to Turkey will be familiar with this minibus system where you can board the bus at any time by waving it down from the side of the road or waiting at a designated spot. Buses are regular and on time. Don't be suprised if you end up holding a bag of bread for another passenger. Dolmus literally means - 'stuffed' and they pack customers onto the bus. A good cultural experience! The Kayakoy Dolmus travels to Fethiye Town, Gemiler and Olu-Deniz beaches every 1/2 - 1 hour and fares are between 3-6 Turkish Lira.
