The villa is situated in a lovely secluded pine forest setting yet is just 5 minutes walk from the nearest shop and the bus route to Oludeniz / Fethiye.
The villa boasts a south facing garden with private pool, patio and sun terrace with 360° mountain views.
There is easy access to walks through the woods with wildlife on your doorstep including wild tortoises in the gardens and eagles regularly sighted over the mountains.

Outside there are sun loungers, recliners, parasols, patio table and chairs, luxury swing seat, hammock and poolside shower. The gardens are lit at night and this provides a lovely evening setting for eating outdoors. The pool also has underwater lighting - very tempting!

The pool is cleaned daily by very friendly onsite maintenance staff who also tend to the flowers and provide 24hr emergency assistance and security as necessary.

The furnishings in the villa are a very high standard indeed with air-conditioning and marble floors throughout the villa. Of course all linen and towels are provided.

There is a fully tiled upstairs bathroom / WC with an excellent power shower.

You will find two settees and armchair and ample dining facilities for six to 8 people should you not wish to eat outdoors! The sliding patio doors lead to the covered patio area and brick built barbeque with a large patio table and chairs for 6-8 people overlooking the private pool.

The modern kitchen has everything you would expect including, dishwasher, oven and hob, microwave, fridge freezer, kettle, toaster, cafetiere, wine cooler and top quality pans, crockery, glassware and cutlery.

Araxa is within easy walking distance of local shops and easy reach of the village of Ovacik. The nearest local convenience store is about 10 minutes walk away and also offers a delivery service for added convenience! Either choose your supplies at the shop or there is full list at the Villa to ring through your order which normally arrives in minutes. The lively town of Hisaronu is only a few minutes dolmus or taxi ride from Araxa and offers a full range of bars, restaurants, shops and clubs to meet all tastes. There is also a local market every Monday in Hisaronu with a large choice of locally grown produce, clothes, shoes, leather goods and souvenirs.

Five minutes further on from Hisaronu is the famous Oludeniz beach and Blue Lagoon voted one of the top 10 best beaches in the world by the Rough Guide. The beach area has numerous bars and restaurants overlooking the bay and is an ideal setting to watch the sunset whilst enjoying a evening drink on the beach. A wide range of water sports is available and there are good value boat trips from the beach to Butterfly Valley and the secluded islands and bays. This is also one of the worlds top locations for paragliding which can be enjoyed as a spectator or why not join in on a tandem jump from 2000m to land on the beach - an unforgettable experience!

The lovely harbour town of Fethiye is only 10 -15 minutes by dolmus or taxi from Araxa and offers a wide range of shops, supermarkets and restaurants. There are numerous banks and there is a large bazaar area in the ‘Old Town’, known locally as the Paspatur.
The weekly Tuesday market in Fethiye is huge - offering a very wide range of local produce as well as a large range of incredible value clothing, shoes, souvenirs, leather goods etc. Fethiye has a beautiful marina with really good value boat trips offered along the picturesque coastline and especially to the ‘twelve islands.’
Beyond the marina Fethiye has a typically Turkish atmosphere and is a great place to explore.
Local dolmus are easily accessible only a few minutes walk from Araxa and are cheap and fun to use. They run all day until about 01.00hrs. We have also negotiated preferential terms for guests at the Villa with a local taxi service who will pick up from the Villa within a few minutes of your call, with fixed prices to the usual destinations agreed in advance.

Driving in and around Fethiye is convenient and pretty hassle free. We have a private parking space at the villa. Specially negotiated local car hire rates can be provided on request.
In the event of any medical emergency there is 24 hour medical assistance in Ovacik and modern private hospital facilities in Fethiye. From experience the medical attention we have accessed and received has been really excellent.
 

The area offers a wide range of activities to suit all tastes – activities range from the seriously energetic such as white water rafting or tandem paragliding from nearby Babadag Mountain and landing on Oludeniz beach, to more sedate activities such as visiting the many historic Lycian sites around the area, relaxing on a boat trip or rejuvenating in a Turkish bath!
In the summer relaxing by the pool or beach, enjoying water sports or taking one of the excellent boat trips is highly recommended. As a special treat why not hire a private boat (gulet) complete with skipper and crew for a whole day to go snorkeling and swimming away from the tourist areas with a full BBQ lunch provided on board at very reasonable prices.

Further inland after only a short trip into the mountains you will find cooler air, clear mountain trout streams and a relaxed way of life.
Out of the high season treking the world famous Lycian Trail, which has its start point adjacent to Araxa Villas, is an excellent challenge for the actively minded. In January / February snow will normally fall on the highest peaks surrounding Fethiye and can normally still be seen in late March, providing a spectacular and beautiful backdrop to the bay.
For the sporting there is a year round tennis club in Fethiye with six courts and tuition available for all ages. Fishing from the shore or boats at any time of year is a favourite pastime.

Whether visiting as a couple, with friends or as a family of all ages we have found that there is so much to do and at very reasonable prices. As a guide these include :

Michele says: "My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent trip to the Araxa villas. The villa had great facilities with all the home from home comforts. The rooms were very clean and spacious and pool was beautiful. We were in close proximity to three towns all being a ten minute drive. There is a number of activities suitable for all ages in the area. Our favourites were the water park, a boat trip around the islands, and paragliding from the mountain top in Olu deniz. Absouloutly loved the little perks of the local grocery store delivering groceries to the door, and also the local taxi service, picked us up within minutes of a phone call! Our stay at the villa was thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing. We would definately return and highly recommend to others."

Owner reply:
