Dikili is situated at the north of Izmir, this charming county which is 120 km. away from Izmir, attracts Turkish tourists with its lovely beaches and clear water.

It is described as a beautiful little Town by a best selling travel author and our villa is recommended as an ideal place to get away from the maddening Crowd.

Surrounding Dikili from is some spectacular scenery, mountains, olive groves, vineyards and cotton fields. You can see the people working the land; horses and carts are still widely in use. Or how about the sight of a tractor with about 20 workers hanging on for dear life. This is where you start to get a feel for real Turkish life.

This seaside town contains mainly holiday villas (for Turkish people) and a few hotels. The charming centre with cobbled streets has restaurants, bars and shops. American and European tourists from cruise ships briefly pass through on their way to Bergama. This means that although the resort remains uncommercialised, the locals are used to and interested in foreign visitors.

Dikili becomes largely deserted in the winter, except for the die-hard residents that live there all year round. In the summer months Turkish tourists with summer houses venture there for their holidays, and at weekends.

Beaches

The beach is 6km long and is mainly sandy. The main beach, Belediye Halk Plaj� holds blue flag certification. The areas near the hotel and the centre offer the most in terms of services (ie refreshments umbrellas sun beds etc). However there are many areas that remain in their natural state including the beach near the villa. So depending upon what you like there is something for everyone in Dikili.

Doug says: "Villa Hanorah is a lovely two bedroom, two bath residence. It has high quality facilites including granite countertops, a dishwasher, cloths washer, and a full set of kitchen utensils. It is well decorated, clean, and the beds and couches were comforable. The owner was very supportive. The location is close to the sea and having support from the Mysia hotel is of value. The hotel helped arrange for a doctor to come to the villa to look at my daughter. All the neighbors were very friendly. Dikili and the area attractions will keep you busy. I do recommend having a rental car since it is a long walk into town from the villa and to most of the attractions other than the sea. I would enjoy booking Villa Hanorah again and staying in Dikili."
