Overview
The Byre is one of three cottages that make up a complex called Sakli Vadi Villari, or Hidden Valley Cottages in English. The Byre was the first of the cottages that was bought and is the largest of the three. The ruin was bought in 1993 and took a little over a year to restore.
The restoration was done after much research into what the original building looked like, both inside and out. The cottage was awarded a plaque from the Turkish Ministry Of Tourism & Culture for Sympathetic Restoration Of Turkish Heritage of which the owners Sandy & Jon Carter are justifiably proud.
The interior of the cottage consists of a hallway cut into the rock leading onto the kitchen on one side and the master double bedroom, with en suite bathroom on the other.
Leading off the fully fitted kitchen is a very large sitting room with a traditional log burning stove, for use in the winter months. The lounge has a balcony area which has two single beds, suitable for teenagers. This type of house design was very common in the area in the 19th. century.
The kitchen looks out onto a walled patio garden. Over the years the flower beds have become well established and shade is provided by some beautiful trees and a covered pergola.
Total privacy is assured as the private plunge pool is accessed by steps through a gate leading up through the garden. Above the pool is an Ottoman kosk (pronounced kushed)which is a traditional raised wooden seating area. There are cushions ans sunloungers on the kosk, where guests can relax comfortably. The kosk is the highest point in the village and allows panoramic views across the Kaya Valley.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
