Stone house holidays in a stunning rural, traditional location

Fethiye Times - LOVE-FETHIYE

A stone house is a lovely idea for holiday accommodation and something a lot different from the usual round of hotels, villas and apartments. 

The Turkish countryside is the perfect place for a relaxing break. Enjoy the peace and quiet, get back to nature, take in the rural and mountain views, and appreciate traditional village life 

Add these elements together and you have the perfect mix for a short break or a holiday.

The village of Elmalı, 21km from Çameli, offers all this and more.

Elmalı

Imagine a place that welcomes visitors like long lost friends, where warmth, friendliness, true Turkish hospitality and tradition are a way of life.

Where you’re hardly ever more than a few meters from a rippling, bubbling, icy stream or a trout farm.

Add to that, stone houses (bağ evleri) set amongst the the most incredible scenery and you’re getting the picture.

Situated in the heart of the Taurus mountains, Elmalı and its stone houses is ideal for those who want a peaceful break in natural surroundings and is ideally situated for exploring the area on foot or by car.
