South Turkey is a much slower pace to life with quiet fishing villages nestling
on the coast and paddy fields with natural wildlife inland making your holiday in
south more relaxed than the north. South Turkey still remains relatively untouched
and many of the larger 4 and 5* hotels are located on their own unspoilt beaches.
The beaches of southern Turkey are some of the finest in the world and whichever
hotel you choose you will find a relaxed and laid back lifestyle

protected from the currents and tides by the natural bay making it easier to swim
in the sea. As the day fades into twilight, what better way to end it than by sipping
a local cocktail at a 'hut' like 'Joets' while watching the sun setting on the distant
horizon.
Velsao Beach

making an ideal for a very quiet, relaxing holiday.

beach shacks, increasing as you get closer to Colva. This is still a relatively
peaceful beach and is great for an afternoon stroll along the shore. Dolphins and
birds of prey are often sighted here.

got busier over the last few years and is very popular with day visitors.
