The Kaya Valley is situated 10 km from the port of Fethiye, and only 10 km from the fantastic Olu Deniz beach with its famous Blue Lagoon. Scenically stunning and historically fascinating, the Kaya Valley is one of the most beautiful sights in the whole of southwest Turkey. Surrounded by craggy peaks and mountains covered in pine forests, this lush farming plateau is crowned by the haunting beauty of the deserted Greek village of Kayakoy. Nearby Gemiler beach boasts stunning sunsets and fantastic views of St Nicholas Island. Fethiye is a wonderful port, offering many boat and sailing trips. The market and shops are not to be missed. The Village offers a wide selection of restaurants and lokantas (tavernas) where you can sample delicious village fare, or for the more sophisticated palates, visit the wine houses or the fish restaurants in Fethiye. The village is self-sufficient with a few simple grocery shops. Fresh produce can be bought from the roadside stalls of the local farmers.

Notes: Weavers Cottage is a very comfortable home, initially restored by English owners for their own residence. With air conditioning in all rooms, it is comfortable throughout the summer. The plunge pool is 10ft x 10ft, ideal for a cooling dip, after relaxing on the sun beds and enjoying the panoramic views across the village. For guests preferring to holiday when the evenings are cooler, there is wood burning stove in the sitting room, and the air conditioning can be adjusted to expel warm air. The large covered terrace offers dining for 6 people, with a sofa, coffee tables and chairs and bbq. There is wireless internet access in the house. The washing machine is located in a closet in the garden, and may be used on request. The house is lightly cleaned daily, and the garden and pool maintained. Linen and towels are provided and changed twice weekly.
Recommendations: Guests return to Weavers Cottage year after year. Once you have been to Weavers, you will be enchanted forever. Our visitors' book describes the house and Kaya as 'Paradise.'
Car Hire: Car hire is not essential. The local bus 'Dolmus' stops 200 metres away every 30 minutes in the summer. The local buses are cheap and convenient and stop on request.
Airport Transfers: We can arrange taxi transfers for guests to and from Dalaman Airport. The cost for 2011 was £90 return for up to four people

Paradise
Delighted Visitor Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire
Review Submitted: August 28, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We have recently returned from Weavers after our fourth visit to this beautiful cottage in its beautiful location..
Weavers offers peace and tranquility, in contrast if you prefer a more lively holiday you can take a short drive out of the valley. It is an excellent base for a walking, sightseeing or more sedate holiday just relaxing by the pool and on the terrace
There are very good local restaurants nearby which are within walking distance or if you want to take the bus (dolmus) you can travel out of the valley to Hisaronu, Fethiye and the beautiful Olu Deniz
Staying at Weavers you can have all the home comforts but also experience the traditional Turkish way of life, we call it our bit of paradise and we can truly recommend it.
We will certainly be returning to Weavers next year.

I have just stayed at the Weavers cottage for the second time and for the second time I was not disappointed. The setting is just perfect - so quiet except for the wildlife! I could have spent everyday on the veranda with a book looking at the view.
Kaya is a charming village away from the hustle of the bigger 'very British' resorts - the people are very welcoming and will go out of their way to help you.
The house is comfortable and clean and the plunge pool enjoyed especially by our children.
Can't wait to return!
