Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
There are some homes that exude character, ones that you can tell hold a lot of stories. This idyllic home is one of them. Here, you’ll find a traditional brick village house that’s been lovingly restored while retaining its original charm, surrounded by vast fields and the majestic Taurus mountains. So, if you love homes with character, you’ll fall head over heels for this one. Located in the quiet, tiny village of Kınalı, you’re a far cry from daily life. It’s a time machine back to the days of Turkey gone by, with old artefacts, Ottoman touches, a gorgeous rustic dining table, and a traditional Turkish barbecue. But that isn’t to say this home isn’t comfortable for the modern person, we don’t think you’d find a well-equipped kitchen or a plunge pool for cooling off from the heat way back when. In Turkey, life is lived in the outdoors. Spend your days sunning by the pool in the secluded garden of native foliage, playing backgammon around the bistro table, and tucking into barbecue dinners washed down with an Efes. On cooler days, you might want to explore the nearby hiking trails in the mountains or explore the fascinating abandoned village of Kayaköy, a ghost town of old stone cottages. This is a beautiful, transportive place for a small family or couple to switch off. But if you want to discover more of Turkey, you’re a short drive from the popular tourist town of Hisarönü and if you venture just a bit further you’ll reach Fethiye. Explore the area’s gorgeous, pristine beaches, swim in the crystalline waters, and spend evenings in waterfront restaurants and lively bars. Or, spend cosy evenings under the wooden pergola, cooking up fresh barbecue dinners, and chatting away. The colourful garden is beautiful enough, but take the steps up to your flat top roof for wildly stunning sunset views, overlooking the Babadağ mountain.

About Turkey
Bridging Europe and Asia, Turkey is a heady mix of old spice trade routes, minaret-filled skylines, ruins that are officially ancient wonders, and a sparkling azure coast with long sweeps of sandy beach. The metropolitan city of Istanbul has one foot in Europe and the other in Asia, either side of the Bosphorus, and streets are filled with ancient mosques and wonders like the Hagia Sofia. Following the coast south,...
