Overview
Combine staying in style with cosy comfort when you holiday in the charming Villa Izra, located in a secure gated community in Konacik, on Turkey’s beautiful Bodrum peninsula. This modern one storey villa has two generous ensuite bedrooms, and would be ideal for a small family, two couples sharing, or even a romantic honeymoon escape. The exterior is built out of classic white Mediterranean stone, whilst the interiors have tiled marble floors, and wood beams that give the villa a cottage style ambiance. The villa has been furnished with contemporary pieces, and decorated in a neutral palette of black and white with shades of browns and creams, and a scattering of traditional Turkish hand crafted ornaments for authenticity. For your comfort and entertainment Villa Izra comes with all the mod cons, including complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout. Set in its own walled gardens with tall mature trees for privacy, the villa comes with its own private swimming pool just for you.
The living area is a light and airy open plan holiday home from home. The seating area has two comfy chocolate brown sofas, a white coffee table, and a tv stand with an entertainment centre of an LCD satellite television, and a DVD and CD player. The adjacent contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for your stay, including a built-in oven and hob, a washing machine and dishwasher, a fridge freezer, and that must have morning coffee maker. There is also a kitchen island, great for food prep and doubles as a four seater breakfast bar with elegant high stool seating. The master bedroom is dreamy creamy with a wrought iron double bed, free standing furniture, and a curtained off area which is home to a Jacuzzi bath. The bedroom has an ensuite brown tiled bathroom with a walk in shower, handbasin and WC. The second bedroom has a black wrought iron double bed with free standing furniture and an ensuite shower room.
Access the traditional stone terrace via the living space, where you will find an enclosed garden with a good sized seven metres by four metres swimming pool. There are four classic wooden sun loungers with cushions and cream shady parasols to keep you cool in the midday sun. Catch up over coffee at the three piece soft seating set with wooden tables in the stone built permanent pergola, or better still enjoy a cocktail or two at sun set. Eat alfresco at the four seater dining table, served with local delicacies cooked on the built-in stone barbecue.
What you should know…
- Both of the bedrooms at Villa Isra have double beds that cannot be made into singles, great for two couples, or a small family
- The villa is inland, and the nearest beach is a short three and a half kilometres away, an easy five minute drive to the nearest resort, and there is a great public transport system too
- We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your holiday and see all the sights you wish to see. However there is a great local transport system to all of the nearby resorts, and lots of tour companies to take you on private or group trips

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa IzraVilla Izra is situated in a small gated community in the ancient settlement town of Konacik, five kilometres north of the international tourist town of Bodrum, where the Greek Aegean meets the Turkish Mediterranean Sea. The villa is a forty one kilometre, fifty minute drive, from Bodrum International Airport, get there by taxi or frequent reliable local public transport. The villa is just over three kilometres from the citrus-scented resort of Bitez itself, with its many cafes, bars and restaurants, and local shops and supermarkets stocked with everything you will need to cater for a happy holiday. There is a supermarket and restaurant within walking distance for immediate supplies.
The town of Bitez plays host to a weekly market every Thursday, selling home-grown fruit and vegetables, freshly caught fish, locally pressed olive oils, honey from the farmer hives, and souvenirs to remind you of your stay, it’s all very bazaar. Every Sunday there is a flea market, where you can find Turkish bric-a-brac to take home, and make time to visit the old Greek orthodox church with its famous dolphin mosaic. Start your holiday with a scrub and clean at the nearby Bitez Hamman, the best way to prepare for a super tan. The bay of Bitez has a beautiful half-moon sandy beach with a mountain backdrop, pre-book sun loungers and shady brollies, sample the water sports and wind surfing, relax in a hand-woven hammock, and refresh in one of the many cafes and bars. If it is fun and frolics in the sun you are looking for, go five kilometres south to Gumbet, a lively cosmopolitan resort with buzzing bars, cafes, restaurants, shops, beaches, pubs, and nightclubs.
Some seriously good beach clubs populate the peninsula, the oldest is Sarnic, where you can bathe, swim and surf, or you may fancy the buzzing Buddha Bar and Beach Club with its international live music concept and evening entertainment. For some adult beach club vibes try Xuma in Yalikavak with its Chill Out Festival and no young children policy. Push the boat out and hire a yacht with your own captain for a lazy day at sea, sun bathing, swimming, and snorkelling, or set sail on a shared one departing every morning from the harbour. Further afield just twenty minutes’ drive away is the town of original fishing village of Yalikavak, which now offers a range of family fun activities, an impressive marina, where you can marvel at some seriously amazing super yachts, and spend all your lira in the marble shopping mall to rival Milan, selling all of your favourite designers and brands, with your own personal shopper as an optional extra.
Go east and in twenty minutes you’re in the cosmopolitan town of Bodrum, with the impressive St Peter’s fortress, an Underwater Archaeology Museum, and a Maritime Museum, not to mention the great shopping, and fabulous food. If you love the nightlife, go to Gumbet, the next village along, with lots of live music, busy bars, and dancing until dawn. Adventure further afield to see some real Turkish delights. Well worth the journey is a trip to seep yourself in history at the world-famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ephesus, and the amazing library that is still standing. Lose yourself in the cotton clouds of the incredible geological magic of Pammukale, and bathe in the life-enhancing Cleopatra’s bath. And if you feel like going intercontinental, go Greek and nip on the ferry that takes you from Bodrum to Kos and all its ancient sites in only half an hour.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThere’s lots for kids to do and see when you stay at Villa Izra, starting with your own private swimming pool with easy step entry, and as there are no set hours they can play and splash.
The nearest beaches are around four kilometres away; take your pick from Bitez, Gumbet, or Bodrum as to where to spend the day. Bitez Plaji is renowned for being family-friendly, with fine sand, sun loungers and parasols, easy entry calm shallow crystal clear waters, water sports, including a fabulous fun banana boat, and lots of cafes and bars. Flamm beach is also noticeably both family and pet friendly, with two piers, and a cool breezy setting. No trip to Konacik is complete without a family day at sea in one of the many private hire yachts with your own captain, or a shared group boat trip from the marina. Enjoy discovering hidden bays and secret coves where you can swim with the fishes, and learn the art of snorkelling.
A thirty-minute drive away is the charming fishing village of Yalikavak, where all the family can get aboard the Rib Adventure and ride the waves, take to the seas on the Bodrum Barracuda for scuba and snorkelling, or submerge yourselves in Oscar, the local submarine and see the sea from under the water. Yalikavak is also host to Y-Kidz, a club for children aged 3-12 years in York Marina, with a timetable of different and exciting activities throughout the week. Splash out in the Pirates Inn Aquapark, nine slides of fantastic fun for the all the family, slip down the waterslides and play in the pools. If you dare, take the plunge down the three storey, five hundred and thirty four metre Navigator water slide, taking you through dark holes to land you in a pool. Take to the top of the water with an adventure as you tackle the local rivers on a raft. If surf isn’t their thing, try the turf with the Countryranch Equestrian Sports Club at Turgutreis, where your children can horse ride over sandy dunes, learn about dog training, follow excursion trails, or play in the children’s playground. For your older children an adrenalin jeep safari is just the thing, race around the area, with a chance to see traditional villages, and the local flora and fauna. Don’t miss a day at Fun Town Yashi Park in Ortakent, where there is something for all ages, including children’s playgrounds, horse riding, go karting, paintballing, table tennis, and competitions.
A day trip to Bodrum is well worth a visit, and only eight kilometres down the coast, with lots of public transport to get your there. Visit the medieval castle of St Peter’s built by the Knights of Rhodes, wonder at the ancient shipwreck ruins in the Museum of Underwater Archaeology, and admire the craftsmanship of eighteen sailing crafts at the Bodrum Maritime Museum. Make a day of it at Rabbit Island in Gumusluk, walk through the one metre water to dry land, take a hike to the top for some stunning sea views, and most of all, don’t forget to feed the rabbits. Whilst you are there take a look at the ancient city of Myndos, with its ruins of Christian churches, Roman roads, artefacts and monuments.
