In a recent travel article in the Sunday Times Travel Magazine, Kaya Valley in Turkey was described as a ‘Turkish Tuscany’ with its peaceful, pine-forested hillsides and fascinating stone ruins now entwined with fig-laden vines.

Teach your kids to swim in the warm, shallow waters of the stunning blue lagoon at Olu Deniz; sunbathe on the white, Mediterranean lapped sand of Patara Beach (approx an hour’s drive away) famed for its rare turtles or explore the ruined port city where St. Nicholas was born; bag a bargain at colourful Fethiye market; take a boat from Gemiler Bay to the sun-baked, uninhabited isle of St. Nicholas; enjoy a meal at a family run restaurant to experience Turkish hospitality at its best.

You’ll receive a warm welcome from the locals and find plenty to do in the surrounding area whatever your interests – a holiday here offers timeless appeal for adults and children alike.
