I spent an age researching my place in the sun; guess what I decided on Ovacik!
I love the place all year round and to be honest as every place is so accessible, getting around is no bother.
Reason we purchased in Ovcaik:
... really impressed with quality of the build,
... our place is surrounded by Turkish people and small farms, nothing like hand reared chickens and freshly delivered eggs!
... in the winter, there are some places open and there is an ex pat community if you go looking and that is what you want
... It is in the mountains with superb scenery and loads of places to walk and cycle
... It has a lovely fresh breeze during those hot summers
... You get to know local people very quickly
... It is a well located place for friends during the summer, lots to do to please everyone and all tastes catered for.
... If I move from my apartment in Ovacik, it will be to a villa in Ovacik!
The list could go on but probably illustrates that most of us love the Fethyie area irrespective of a choice of base, I am in no competion to say that my choice is the best, because in the essence, what I suspect is that we all love Turkey.
Happy hunting.
