It's on a seaside rock with a breathtaking view of an uninhabited coast --and one of three flats at the Maison de Sovalye compound on the Island of Sovalye in the Bay of Fethiye on the southern coast of Turkey
It has, like its sister accommodations Uzum and Methap, full dizzying seaview on a tiny, quiet and exclusive isle.
Zeytin, meaning olive in Turkish derives its name from an old olive tree on the rock next to the flat and has a private staircase to the sea. It's terrace offers unforgettable view at sunsets and receives cooling westerly winds during hot and sunny days.
On the bathing platform, the terrace or inside, Zeytin offers all the necessary modern conveniences. You will have air conditioning, fully functioning kitchen, bathroom, separate bedroom room for two with furniture from local wood and a living-dining area with a comfortable couch that open into another double bed.
Zeytin is an oasis of nature, sea and history at its best for a holiday in peace and comfort.
At Zeytin, you will be at the tiny and exclusive Sovalye Island located about 10 minutes from the coast by boat from the town of Fethiye. Sovalye, which mean Knight in English and derives its name from the French Chevalier, is entirely pedestrian, its paths lined with bougainvilleas, pine and citrus trees.
No roads, no traffic, the island is a dream for a quiet and pleasant holiday. Because of its tiny size, (website hidden) Map does not show it, but (website hidden) Earth does.
A walk from one end of the island to the other is 45 minutes or so, along ancient ruins, coves and sandy gravel. On its land and in its waters, you can see the remains of settlements dating back to the Roman period, amphorae, a Roman cistern. On the island, you can also see the remains of a Crusader castle, built by the Knights of St. John.
Zeytin, being on the narrow point of the small island, offers its own two private breaches, the sunset one not sandy. Sovalye's best beach is a 10-minute walk where the island also offers its only restaurant and WiFi connection.
Transportation between the island and the town of Fethiye is through a sea-bus service four to five times a day during high season. Private sea taxi service is available 24 hours a day for the short 10-minutw ride. Shopping is done at Fethiye, whose history dates back to 2,000 BC and is also knoiwn as The Land of Lights (300 sunny days in a year and rare rainy days between April and November)
