If you are dreaming of spending your ultimate holidays to Turkey, you should carefully select the towns and places that you are going to visit to make sure that your stay will be truly enjoyable and worthwhile. Aside from this, knowing where to go and stay will give you a taste of authentic Turkish culture. Among the best places you might want to see as you visit Turkey is Köyceğiz. Although it does not have many bars and shops, its main attraction is the amazing lake, local wildlife and its tranquil and relaxing surroundings. So if your main goal is to relax and have a peaceful and quiet vacation, this is the ideal place for you. Or if you are possibly interested in buying a property in Köyceğiz take a look at this traditional stone house for sale in the city centre.

Köyceğiz is a town on the edge of a lake by the same name in the province of Mugla in south western Turkiye. Although Köyceğiz sits amidst the the prime tourist destinations in Turkey, it has no big draw when it comes to the tourism industry. More than likely because it does not have the bars, hotels or other tourism amenities which draw foreigners on holiday like Marmaris, Dalyan and Fethiye. But this does not mean that Köyceğiz has no appeal - on the contrary it has tremendous appeal if you prefer quiet traditional Turkish living surrounded by beautiful areas of nature with a rich cultural flavor.

The main street into the city center brings you to the boat docks on Köyceğiz Lake where you can walk along a waterfront promenade past restaurants and a few bars overlooking the incredible panorama presented by the lake and the pine-covered mountains that surround it. The pace is slower and decidely more relaxed and there are no restaurant and bar frontmen hassling you to dine or have drinks at their place of business. No one seems interested whether you are there to spend money, dine at their cafe, or book a boat trip. The people of Köyceğiz are friendly and they just go about their business as usual.

The Sultaniye Thermal Springs are a short boat ride across the lake and the unspoiled beach at Ekincik is about an hours drive over the mountain through spectacular scenery. A short boat trip will have you cruising into Dalyan in about 40 minutes. The Dalaman International Airport is just a 45 minute drive towards Fethiye.
