Unique Turkish Village House in Beautiful and Unspoilt Location.

This is a truly wonderful,characterful, spacious, clean, atmospheric, beautifully down to earth retreat of a place with a real turkish feel, tiled floors, open fireplace. It suited our needs perfectly. We all agreed that the open fire and the use of the bikes for the week was the icing on the cake for us. The house is near enough to walk into Dalyan town which in itself has a very laid back but friendly feel to it. The key holders for the property are Kaunos Tours who were absolutely fantastic, helping us with genuine honest and useful information regarding sight seeing and were available 24/7. We booked a couple of tours with them during the week which were great.(kayaking and turkish bath).There seems to be plenty to do there, but we were there at the beginning of the season so it didnt feel quite hot enough to do the canyoning or jeep safari. the cycle ride to the Iztuzu beach with the turtles is a stunning ride. We all felt that even though we didnt have the kids with us that we would love to return again with them another time.There is no pool, but this was not an issue for us as the weather was not overbearingly hot in April anyway.we found some nice places to eat with good veggie food too, all listed in the visitors book in the house but we also really enjoyed cooking and soaking up the atmosphere in the house too, especially lighting the fire in the beautiful fireplace. The description of the property was really accurate, the layout great.I would not hesitate to recommend this as a place to rent with or without kids infact we have been actively recommending it to friends as a welcome retreat from busy life. We shall be saving up for a return in the future.

I stayed at Dut Evi (mulberry house) with my Mom, partner and daughter; our ages range from 20 to 70!

We loved the traditional Turkish style house, in it's quiet rural setting. We found it lovely and clean, with nice little touches such as the lovely turkish lamps!

Our first night was slightly cool so we sat around the fire on the traditional Turkish seating area.

We enjoyed the garden and it's wildlife (tortoise, chickens, stork etc). The hammocks were so relaxing, in the welcome shade of the mulberry tree when needed! The korsk was a great place to sit round on too.

A cycle or walk into Dalyan was enjoyable too; past the carpenters, rural farms, mosque and a couple of small shops where we could buy bread water etc.

Dalyan has a friendly atmosphere; there are plenty of places to eat and drink, and you can easily get a takeaway if you wish. There were plenty of shops for food and gifts.

From Dalyan you can get a bus or boat to Iztuzu plaji (turtle beach), we once went via boat, walked along the 5km beach (stopping for a swim and relax), got some lovely food there before coming back on the dolmus (bus). I am so happy that they decided to conserve this area for the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) - it is gorgeously unspoiled. Oh yes... we made a visit to the turtle rescue centre (by the bus stop) too!

The scenery really is stunning. If you get up to the Radar station, you can see for miles!!!

Also from Dalyan you can see the Lycean rock tombs, a little old lady took us on a boat trip accross the river where we got a closer look and it allowed us to visit the Roman town of Kaunos - views are also stunning.

On a cycle up beside the river one boat owner offered to take us, and our bikes, across to the mud baths on his boat; we didn’t really fancy mud baths and we had already hired bikes over that side (on the road to Kaunos) where we had taken a long cycle through gorgeous scenery -if you do this make sure you have lots of water!!!

We also hired a car where we took a trip through Koycegiz and on and around Koycegiz Lake. Another day we went further afield to oludeniz where two of us went paragliding (not me!)

Market day was fun; lovely fresh cheap fruit and veg. I got a lamp! I think you can get a boat to a market in Koycegiz too.

The local beer 'efes' is great!!!

All in all we had a lovely time.

The owner was really helpful; sending us much info and answering any questions we had.

Thank you so much

We had a fantastic holiday at mulberry house. Couldn't ask for more peace and quiet and our 2 young boys loved having the secure garden and turkish kosk to play in during the early mornings and evening. Beautiful surroundings and just far enough from Dalyan village to be free of noise and light pollution - the starry skies were brilliant! Close enought to Dalyan for restaraunts, shopping and boat trips during the day - though most of the eating places now do takeaways if you don't want to cook. Loved the place
