A slice of Turkey

THE STAY: Turkey’s Turquoise Coast – also known as the Turkish Riviera – stretches languidly alongside the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, taking in the popular towns of Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Marmaris and Kalkan.

The small, traditional village of Üzümlü perches in the hills above Kalkan, overlooking Patara beach. Üzümlü means ‘grape’ in Turkish, and indeed you’ll find excellent local wines produced here.

The village’s narrow old streets are home to picturesque, Ottoman-style stone houses, while you’re not far from mountains and lush green meadows, with the sea just half an hour’s drive away. THE DETAILS: Take the family to Villa Sezin, a modern, stylish, twobedroom property close to the village centre, but benefiting from total privacy. The pool terrace has views over the coast, while there’s also an outdoor Jacuzzi, and the master bedroom boasts an en-suite Turkish bath.
