Villa
This Sea-Front Sovalye Island Property has its own private beach and amazing view across Calis beach. Situated in one of the nicest spots on Sovalye Island this property enjoys 507 sq m. It could be Ideal renovation project, a potential holiday home or investment.
After the short boat journey to the island you will see some lovely green areas and high palm trees in front of the villa entrance. You reach the main building by going up some steps to the large terrace. This old style turkish house building has been left empty for a long time, so it will need some renovations before moving in. There is also potential for it to accommodate 4 bedrooms.
It takes just fifteen minutes to cross the water from Fethiye Habour to the sleepy island of Sovalye
Sovalye is entirely pedestrianised with shady paths through scented pine forests. There is NO traffic – this means there are no roads to follow. So when you walk over the island it literally is up man-made pathways or beaten tracks.
A leisurely walk from end to end takes 45-minute or so, along a coastline dotted with sand and shingle coves. In the crystal-clear water you can make out the ruins of earlier settlements dating back to late Roman times.
Inland, hidden amid the pines and carob trees, are the remains of a crusader castle, built by the Knights of St John after they crossed over from nearby Rhodes. Legend has it that the island became a base in the Middle Ages for renegade knights-turned-pirates.
You can also go around Şövalye Island by canoe in about an hour or you can swim in around two. There is so much to explore from paddling or swimming over submerged houses to finding an old city wall to a Roman cistern that was converted to a chapel during the Byzantine period.
