These are just holiday snaps, rather than an attempt at serious photography, they're just intended to give you an idea of one of the places I believe make the Fethiye area special.
A view of the "beach club". Pebbles, but a cordoned off area for swimming and crystal-clear water

A view of the restaurant itself

A very relaxing place...

A view looking out across the bay to the other islands:

...and the other way, looking towards (approximately) Club Letoonia:

The kids loved the local wildlife:

Another lovely sight, near the restaurant:

A short walk out of the restaurant of the "main road". I can only assume this is part of the remains of the fortifications of the Knights of St. John, built when they weren't out pirating:

More Knights of St. John stuff? A mosaic which was just more or less just in the middle of the track (no roads here) Foot left in for scale.

When I win the lottery, I will live here, I think.

The island was bigger than I imagined, and it was too hot to walk all the way round. People were scarce, although we came across one family who were crushing grapes, presumably to make wine.
We look forward to going back in the next week or two.

Fabulous shots Villain! I've copied a couple, I hope you don't mind? We LOVE Sovalye Island. ;D
-
Steady on, Lotty - not "fabulous"...
...glad you liked them, though.

Phone or fb a message to the Ada Restaurant on the ısland and they wıll send a boat over for you .It pıcks you up near the SAT ın Calıs no charge so long as you are eatıng/drinkıng there. Slightly expensıve but lovely food and no mossıes.

Spent two lovely evenings here over the past 10 days, but back home, now...

Stunning photo villain. Thank you.
-
Ooh how lovely *jealous*
Why did I think this place was adults only? Is there a hotel or something there that is adult only? I'm sure got a Secret Escapes email about it and assumed it was the whole island! (I'll have to go back and check. I must have got muddled up!)
-
The Ece Hotel (which I think is at the other end of Solvalye from Ada) was adults-only in 2013 at least (haven't checked since), but the Ada Beach Club and resturant is definitely child-friendly.
One other thing, I found their response to Facebook messages and email was very poor. It is really best to book by phone.
-
Thank you, that is definitely the cause of my mistake! I'll know better if we return! :)
