MEHTAP (Moonlight) is a fascinating flat in a quaint and comfortable building right on the beach at Fethiye’s exclusive Sovalye Island (The Island of Knights).
The location is rare on the tiny isle with only 50 houses in total, no vehicles –but plenty of Roman and Greeks ruins on its pathways and under its sea, stretches of cozy coves and beaches and vegetation full of Mediterranean aroma of lavender, citrus, jasmine, roses etc.
Conveniently, the island may be only a few kilometers from the mainland, but it is far away from the stress of teaming metropolis living: stunning sunrises and sunsets, gentle breeze from the sea that makes one refreshed in a tranquility of nature.
The two accommodations offers one bedroom, one large living-dining area, separate kitchen and balconies –all with full sea view. It has its own staircase –a few steps–down to what is in effect your own private beach. A couch transforms into a double bed.
The flat is decorated with stylish furniture and have all the modern conveniences, such as air conditioning in all rooms, full equipped kitchen with pots and pans, cutlery, chinaware, washing machines as well as sheets, towels etc.
Right next to MEHTAP is the island’s main beach –a small cozy strip never too crowded or noisy. The main restaurant of the island is also right after the beach within a minute of walking. It offers WiFi.
Mehtap is an oasis of nature, sea and history at its best for a holiday in peace and comfort.
At Mehtap, 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, old olive oil jars, amphorae, a Roman cistern. On the island, you can also see the remains of a Crusader castle, built by the Knights of St. John.
