The kitchen is simply designed, light and airy and well equipped for
self-catering. There is a gas cooker and a large larder fridge with a
freezer compartment. In the summer there is constant solar heated
water. In the winter, there is an electric back up system for cloudy
days. The door at the rear of the kitchen leads to a utility area
with a washing machine and the main bathroom.
The Turkish corner is at the opposite end of the salon from the
kitchen. It is a raised area, which is separated, but not shut off,
from the main living area. The seating is comprised of large floor
cushions. This space, with the open fire, provides a cosy corner on
winter days.The double bedroom has an en suite bathroom, with a
toilet, bath and shower. The second bedroom has two single beds.
Winter days in Dalyan are much milder than in England and it is often
possible to spend Christmas Day in a T shirt. However the nights can
get cold. The fire in Mulberry House is a wonderfully cosy place to
sit and relax 'away from it all'.
The terrace is large and shaded. In summer it is the main living area
and the table is always outside. A breeze blows across the valley
from the mountains and over the terrace. The garden is fairly large,
there are mulberry and eucalyptus trees. In September 2004 it was
planted with a large variety of Mediterranean plants. The views from
the terrace are fantastic and it is easy just to sit and look! Storks
are often seen flying over the valley. There are four mountain bikes
included with the house. They really are the best way to get around.

Dalyan itself is about 7-10 minutes away by bike. It is situated on a
wide river close to a huge lake (Koycegiz) and to the famous Turtle
Beach. There is enough to do there and around for a week without ever
venturing on to the beach. There are boat trips and tours to
mountains, waterfalls, rock tombs, Roman towns and gorges, hot
springs and mud baths. One day you can experience a traditional
Turkish bath (Hammam) and the next swim in an icy cold waterfall.
However, if all you want to do is relax and watch the world go by,
you can do that in one of the many riverside restaurants and bars or
on the terrace of Mulberry House!
The beach is 5 km long and the caretta turtles come to lay their eggs
there in the golden sand.

If you enjoy bird watching then you will see many wild birds such as
storks, kingfishers and egrets. Flamingos have also been seen in the
marshes behind the lake! There are vast quantities of different
insects including huge butterflies and dragonflies. There are also
multitudes of wild flowers (best in the spring).

Whatever you choose to do it is unlikely to be your last trip to
Dalyan
