“The property is OK. It needs updating. They need to leave a basic food package for people arriving.”

You need to understand that if you book to stay here, that the nearest market or food shop is the File Market which is approximately a mile away, and downhill - which leaves you carrying everything uphill on the way back. That being said, the staff at the File market were excellent, and will ring a taxi for you, so make sure you have the property address when you go shopping. The File market does not sell alcohol or tobacco, and so if you didn't buy enough at the airport, your best option is to ask the staff at the shop to communicate to the taxi driver that you need to call into the alcohol/tobacco shop on the way home. You will need suncream, and I highly recommend mosquito repellant or spray. I would bring traps as well because you will need them. The nearest Eczane or chemist we could find was almost 5 miles away at the Migros shopping centre, so bring these things with you to make your life much easier. There may be one nearer but we couldn't find one. We took a photo of the restauarant sign across the road from the property, as every local taxi driver knew where it was. The transfer from the airport was difficult, because apparently there are several Salmakis Villas, and this one is secluded and difficult to find. The owner of the property was on hand to answer the phone though, even at 11.30pm, and spoke to the taxi driver in order to give him directions. The owner of the property messaged me the day prior to our stay to leave me his WhatsApp details for messages and calls. The pool at the property was clean and well maintained, the property itself is very private, and the upstairs balcony was very spacious and a real sun trap. The kitchen was pretty well equipped in comparison to other places we've stayed in Turkey, but there was no corkscrew or wine bottle opener, so again, you'll need to bring one to save an awful lot of stress!
