Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Beyaz GulOrhaniye is a small rural village on the beautiful Bozburun Peninsula in Turkey, a 25-minute drive from the popular holiday resort Marmaris. Dotted with smallholdings and olive vineyards, it's truly traditional Turkey at its finest.
Most of the locals work their land for a living. Think beekeeping, orange, mandarin and pomegranate groves, as well as peanuts and herbs. Look out for fresh produce in the shops or at the Saturday market in front of the Mayor's Office. At the latter, you can buy everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to clothes, olive oil and village bread.
The quaint village also boasts a restaurant-fronted waterfront, that's a popular place for yachts to anchor. For days spent on the sand, head to Kizkumu Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the region. It has a sand spit reaching some 500 metres out into Orhaniye Bay.
The surrounding mountainous Bozburun Peninsula is the perfect place to explore. Drive through the winding country roads into more quaint villages like Turgutkoy, Hisaronu or Selimiye (10km away). There you'll find a beautiful harbour, and the ancient city of Hydas is nearby. The three castles, lighthouse and monastery remnants are all worth seeing.
Fabulous fish lunches, followed by a dip in crystal clear waters, can be enjoyed at Sogut and Selimiye, or drive out earlyish one day for a Turkish breakfast in Selimiye. Breakfast is served until midday so you won't be late!
Marmaris is renowned for its famous pebbly beach and long seafront promenade – with plenty of opportunities to take part in water sports. The bustling resort town is also known for its lively nightlife and shopping, charming 16th-century castle and sailing and scuba-diving opportunities.

Marmaris & Bozburun
The South West coast of Turkey offers the perfect climate for your holiday, boasting over 280 dry days a year and an average June temperature of 28 degrees Celsius in this area, with sea temperatures of 23 deegress celsius. For keen walkers the paths of the Carian way will take you around the area.
Sat on the site of the Carian city of Physkos, Marmaris started welcoming European tourists in the 1980’s. At the time big hotels were what the travel agents were selling. The surrounding areas remained unspoilt and in recent years villas have popped up in less touristic areas. Marmaris still has a picturesque vista and the areas around the harbour, Netsel Marina and the castle are worth a visit. The castle was reconstructed by Suleyman the Magnificent during his expedition against Rhodes and houses a small museum. You couldn’t find better places to try an authentic Doner Kebab than some of the restaurants behind the bazaar, or for a more sophisticated version go to the Baris Ustu Kebabci in the Netsel Marina.
The Bozburun Peninsula represents the real hidden Turkey. In recent years wealthier Turks have headed to these parts to enjoy the thyme-scented air that is said to be ultra-healthy due to being high in oxygen as a result of the trees and proximity to the sea Throughout the peninsula villagers live as their ancestors did a century ago, tilling the land of a small holding, keeping bees or working in ancient trades handed down through generations. The women work hard to keep house and land. Every village has a teahouse where you’ll see the men making business over a game of Tavla (backgammon), slowly drinking endless cups of crystal clear black Cay (tea), drunk out of tulip-shaped glasses. The peninsula has loads of lovely restaurants, simple but delicious food. Enjoy fish in Selimiye; choose mezes from the kitchen and wash it all down with a glass of Lion’s Milk, the slang for Turkish Raki, an aniseed spirit that becomes white when water is added.
Travelling around the peninsula, there’s Orhaniye where you can walk the sand spit, Turgut where you can see the ancient trade of carpet weaving and visit the waterfall to cool off, especially if you purchased a carpet. Sogut is a hidden gem, and where a long seafood lunch is the way to go. There is a bee ‘museum’ in Osmaniye which pays homage to the local production of pine honey. Turunc, Amos and Kumlubuk sit on the southeastern coast of the peninsula. Kumlubuk has a sweeping beach, and a sandy shingle, water-sports and a few restaurants. Amos has a smaller pebble beach and a popular restaurant selling a range of Turkish favourites. Turunc is more of a resort, with a few streets behind the beach, plenty of eateries, shops and bars. Give it a little time as it is somewhere people fall in love with. Further around is Icmeler, which merges into the bigger Marmaris.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThe villa is fenced in so children are free to roam the gardens, obviously non swimmers will need floatation device. There’s plenty of things to do with the family around the Bozburun Peninsula. You can visit the waterfall or the carpet museum at Turgutkoy, and the Hydas Waterfalls. There is a beekeeping museum in Osmaniye, which proves interesting for kids and adults alike. Wanbder around the village and there's lots to see and learn, most small holdings have farm animals and villagers will welcome your intrigue.
Orhaniye's village centre has family-friendly restaurants and small coves and beaches, one of the most bays in the region, is nearby. It has calm crystal-clear waters – perfect for younger swimmers. You could also book a boat trip and explore the secluded coves in the local area. For water sports, Marmaris is your go-to. There, kids (and adults) can go sea kayaking, parasailing and scuba-diving. There are also a couple of aquaparks.
Further afield, there are ruins everywhere, such as Knidos at the foot of the Datca peninsula, Statonikeia (worth the 1hr 30 min drive) or Caunos near Dalyan. For a longer day out, Ephesus or Pamukkale can be reached in 3 hrs.
Kids will love the beautiful outdoor playground that is the Turquoise Coast. Packed with wonderful beaches, it’s a great choice for a family holiday, and offers all sorts of activity as well as sightseeing and relaxing.

Recommended
We had a very nice holiday at Villa Beyaz Gul for 6 nights / 7 days.
A briefly talk about the features of the house;
It is really perfect in terms of its location, it should not be thought that it is far from the sea because if you are on holiday in that area, you have to go to many places by car anyway. The location of the house was at most 30 minutes away from many hidden beaches.
If we talk about the features of the house, it is a very comfortable house, it has 4 rooms, each of the rooms is very large and spacious, only the room at the entrance is a little dark compared to the other rooms, apart from that the kitchen and the tools in the kitchen were quite sufficient.
The cleaning of the house was very good. During our stay, the house was cleaned every two days.
The landscape is quite beautiful, even the very very very nice pool is sufficient and very clean. The pool was cleaned every two days.
The interest of our host Ms. Nur was also excellent. She helped us in many matters, whether it was about the house or the places we would visit.
I think it is very important for people who will prefer this kind of holiday that the house is in the forest, and that it is quiet and calm. We had a very nice holiday and I recommend it to you.

Outstanding
Villa Beyaz Gul is truly outstanding place surrounded be mountains. The beautiful house, the nature, the pool - and most of all the host - made our stay during lockdown absolutely marvelous. The house has everything you might need and is perfect for staying with kids. You can cook on the fully equipped kitchen, enjoy sunset by the pool and hike up the mountains or go to the seaside. We will for sure be back!

Stunning
We stayed at Villa Beyaz Gul for a week. The place is absolutely stunning, and we had everything we needed. The house is really unique, in in great shape, and beautifully decorated (even more beautiful than the photos). The kitchen is fully stocked + there is a variety of outdoor areas to hang out and enjoy the scenery. The pool is also amazing!
Ms. Nur is an angel and made our stay truly memorable and gave us a lot of tasty home-made snacks. Ms. Nur also gave us guidance about the area and answered our questions. They were one of the best owners we've ever had.
We also really loved the location, and went on some great hikes in the surrounding hills and explored the coastline. Overall, one of the best airbnbs I've ever stayed at! -
Exceeded Expectations
This place really exceeded our expectations! From the moment we checked in past midnight and were greeted with home made late night snacks, to the daily help with all our needs and arranging our car rental, boat trips and much more, to the readiness and promptness with which the host was addressing any of our needs and concerns.
The surrounding area is really beautiful and surprisingly warm in December, and the village is a very nice prototypical coastal mediterranean Turkish town.
The house itself was very clean, and newly renovated with everything that we needed during our stay.
We definitely hope to be going there again soon to explore the area in the spring season! -
What more can you ask?
We spent wonderful week with family in this house. The place and house are really unique. The village in the mountains with a sea, what can you ask more?
We appreciated very much the hospitality of owners, they were answering all our questions and demands, found very quickly boat for us for a boat trip and every day we got some delicious turkish plates as compliment. With all this they manage to rest discrete.
