Turkish Property Great Locations Bozburun Peninsula One of Twelve Top Locations

I. Kaya Köyü

There is something really special about the bucolic valley that unfurls at the foot of this remarkable ghost settlement
of Kaya Köyü. Known as Levissi when it ended up being a vibrant Greek community (until 1923), it is now an accumulation of cobbled
paths, roofless rock houses and attractive churches that stare down on the fertile valley from a hillside that is terraced
above. The famous lagoon at Ölüdeniz a spectacular one behind the ridges circling the valley is the Mediterranean
and a half hour’s stroll away, pretty Gemiler beach a 15-minute drive. Exclusive Escapes has several premium villas
available in this idyll that is rural all blending in tastefully because of the time-worn environment of the valley.
J. Uçhisar, Cappadocia
Situated on the cliff-tops a mile approximately above the tourist honey-pot of Göreme, Uçhisar has withstood the vicissitudes
of development a lot more successfully than its neighbour in the valley below. The low-key town is dominated by a
near 200ft-high natural rock outcrop riddled with rock-cut dwellings. It creates a great base for exploring the
magical volcanic landscape of Cappadocia – but the key to making Uçhisar such a place that is great stay are the mesmeric
sunset views across the bizarre Cappadocian landscape to distant Mt Erciyes. The existence of the well-regarded
Kocabag winery on the edge of the village is another boon.
