Halicarnassus Village House
Bodrum, Turkey
Country Charm, Rustic Character and Amazing Views
Standing high above the village of Gokcobel on Turkey’s Bodrum Peninsula, this early 20th-century cottage sits down a private drive in a peaceful garden setting with amazing views of the mountains, the Aegean Sea, and harbor of Yalikavak.
Designed after the traditional Bodrum cottages found throughout the area, the home has been lightly renovated but retains its ancient character and authentic Turkish construction. With its 20-inch-thick stone walls and timbered ceilings, the structure is full of character and simple rustic style.
The comfortable L-shaped living room and dining area sit across from the compact self-catering kitchenette, making it a cozy retreat for two. The full size en-suite master bedroom includes a private dressing area. Outside is a generous veranda for taking in stunning sunsets over the mountains, and a lovely pool for cooling off.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Wifi available.
AROUND
Perched above Dirmil/Gokcobel, a village in Yalikavak, the house serves as an excellent starting point for various short trips to the local villages or to Bodrum city and the greater peninsula. The house is 10 minutes from the world-famous Yalikavak international marina where some of the largest private yachts in the world can be viewed close up, and there are numerous shops and restaurants.
In the ancient city of Halicarnassus, now called Bodrum, the remains of a Legian Empire castle (dating from 500 BC) is a 500 meters climb away. The ancient cities of Iassus and Labranda are slightly more than an hour away and the city of Selcuk, two hours away, make for fascinating day trips. When the ferries to Greece from Bodrum begin, in season, it is possible to visit three of the 7 wonders of the ancient world: Halicarnassus, Ephesus and the Colossus of Rhodes.
The picturesque bohemian village of Gumusluk is within a short drive as are the mountains in Labranda near Milas, where you'll encounter massive ancient stone structures. Yalikavak Marina is to the west, Samos Island in Greece is 70 km north, and Gundogan lies to the east.
