Villa Marin Hill is in charming Turgutreis, the second largest town on the Bodrum peninsula in Turkey. It’s situated along the southern coast and is about a 60-minute drive from Bodrum International Airport. The popular holiday destination is nestled in the mountains and between fruit groves. Spend the morning browsing the town’s shops or traditional market stalls before heading to the sandy beach to cool down. For international or local cuisine, there’s a scenic waterfront dotted with a selection of cafes and restaurants, so you’ll be sure to find something that takes your fancy.

Bodrum is about a 30-minute drive away. The vibrant city boasts everything from a beautiful marina to ancient sites and boutique shops, so it’s well worth a visit. For a traditional shopping experience, you can visit Bodrum’s farmer markets. There you’ll find stalls selling everything from hand-made rugs and clothing to fresh produce. For a dose of history and culture, the most prominent ancient site in Bodrum is the castle of St. Peter, dating back to the Knights of St. John. For fantastic views of the city (cameras at the ready), head to the ancient Hellenistic theatre, built into the hillside.

When the sun sets, the city comes alive with live music, and there’s an abundance of restaurants, bars and clubs. For the sports lovers, there’s an 18-hole golf course nearby, as well as tennis courts dotted around the peninsula. You’ll also find plenty of opportunities to take part in water sports like sea kayaking, scuba diving and parasailing. Wolf’s Point with its rock formations and Big Reef – a prime spot for stingray, groupers and stonefish – are a couple of the city’s top dive sites.

The pretty harbour at Gumusluk is worth a visit, with lovely fish restaurants around the harbour and ancient ruins in the clear waters. Take swimwear if you want to paddle across to 'Rabbit island'.

Nearby days out include Pamukkale with it's travertine formations, the ancient ruins at Ephesus or the pretty restored village of Sirince famed for fruit wine. You could even take a day trip to the Greek Island of Kos.
