Mugla, Ortaca, Dalyan, Turkey

Our team at Turkey Homes is very happy to offer this unique traditional bungalow for sale in Koycegiz, a little scenic lake town a short distance from Dalaman Airport and the resort of Dalyan in the southwest of Turkey.

Koycegiz is an up-and-coming location set just off the Mugla to Fethiye highway. This former fishing village is found at the northern tip of a huge lake of the same name, encompassed by nature, mountains, and fresh air. It provides relaxing boat tours that sail along the river, through Dalyan, to the protected 4.5km stretch of sandy beach at Iztuzu Beach, making a stop at the mud baths and passing by the ancient ruins of the city of Kaunos.

The lake has a 2km promenade with pretty waterside cafes and tea gardens, a little sandy beach, and a vast camping area, which is very popular with Turkish tourists. In the morning, the lake is calm; however, a breeze picks up by the afternoon, and you will see windsurfers battling the winds.

Sitting between the vibrant resort of Marmaris and the busy harbour and market town of Fethiye, Koycegiz is a calm, laid-back destination that is active in both winter and summer. The natural surroundings are perfect for hikers and nature lovers, and there is a distinct lack of noisy bars and restaurants.

Bungalow Location

This charming cabin-style bungalow for sale in Koycegiz is found in a beautiful green area called Candir. Enjoying views of the endless green landscapes, the surrounding Dalyan delta, and lush green mountains.

Set peacefully on the hills of Candir, yet just 1km from the town centre and approximately 1000m from the lake, the town hosts plenty of shops, supermarkets, cafes, quiet bars, schools, and restaurants, some set on the water's edge with beautiful views over the lake, whilst you can enjoy fishing and canoeing, and only a 15-minute drive via the D-400 will reach the neighbouring larger and busier town of Ortaca, that provides more shops and a hospital.

Local bus services from the centre of Koycegiz also give access to Ortaca and other areas, local beaches, and the airport in Dalyan, which is accessible in around 30 minutes. The marina town of Gocek and Dalaman airport are reached in 35 minutes, while the nearest beach, Sarigerme, is reached in just over 35 minutes. An hour's drive will reach Fethiye and its resorts and Marmaris a little further on.
