There is a good sized weekly market every Friday where local produce of fruit and vegetables, clothes and souvenirs can be bought.

A lovely restaurant with a picturesque riverside setting located next to Kemer park area. We can highly recommend the mixed grill and at cost of 10YTL, is excellent value for money, around £4. Another restaurant has just opened overlooking the Kemer valley, which has a fantastic view and cool breezes in which to enjoy a lovely meal.

The Tuesday market is a real must to see the fruit and veg market, a range of “designer labels “are available from many stalls.

Turkish food is held by many to be one of the world’s greatest cuisines. Dining is regarded as an occasion – unhurried, highly hospitable, and ceremonial!

Turkish bread is a staple as is the local variety called pide, similar to pizza. Soups, mezze and salads are plentiful as are kebabs and kofte or meatballs. There are a number of delicious fish dishes available in most cafes and the local specialty of stuffed vegetables.

Turkey is the only place we can think of where the quality of food goes up but the cost goes down.

Turkish wines are becoming quite popular and are generally cheap and tasty. You may wish to try one of the country’s favourite drink of raki – an aniseed based grape brandy.

Many people comment that one visit will not be enough, and you will want to come back again, as you discover more extraordinary places around this area. All of them have one thing in common: the friendly and hospitable people of this unique country.

Review submitted by non-Villarenters customer: We had a great holiday and would highly recommend the villas to anyone - yes a truly unique holiday, our children have come away with lots of cultural knowledge. Super villas. Nice to visit with friends or family and to have a bit of space and freedom - fabulous. Super sized swimming pool with heavenly views. We had 2 glorious weeks".  M & G B family members stayed in both villas from Berwickshire. July 2008.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 10 day stay at Frankincense Villas from 23.5.08 to 2.6.08. The views around the villas are wonderful and the area is amazingly peaceful, despite the call to prayer, lovely birds and various animals, which just add to the experience of holidaying in rural Turkey.
The pool is great, especially for teenagers, and having two villas together makes this an ideal choice for two families holidaying together, but able to have your own privacy. The local villagers in Ortakoy are very welcoming, especially Bekir and his staff.
We found the Frankincense Villas website extremely informative and what you see is what you get. Many places to visit are recommended on the website but one other place we found, which is a complete contrast to life in Ortakoy, is Gocek Marina (near Dalaman) - home to multimillion pound boats and a very nice restaurant, which is more pricey than other Turkish restaurants, but on a par with eating out in the UK, which we felt was very reasonable for the location we were in.
We hope to return to Frankincense Villas in the future". Teresa, James, Samuel (aged 15) & Luke (aged 12), East Grinstead, West Sussex. May 2008
