How to get to the villa from Gocek?
The villa is situated in Inlice village (pronounced In-lijeh) in a hill farmstead called Piynarcik. Drive past the signs for Gocek, staying on the dual carriage way. This road will eventually start to climb then meander through a forested hill. On clearing the woods the valley opens up you are in Inlice. Take the first road left and head towards Inlice village. Before you reach the village Mosque there is a small bridge. Take the road left immediately before the bridge. Follow this road, with the stream running parallel on your right. You will pass a dip in the road and a Ford. Stay on the same road until you see a stone house with stone walls with a Moorish entrance. Turn left, go past this house. The road curves right. As you climb the hill take the first lane immediately on your right. You will see the arch with the word Kavaklar. As night time driving can be disorientating it is advised to book through us a Meet and Greet service at the airport if arriving after dusk.
