Stunning Rustic Retreat
Two bedroom rustic villa with amazing views
Nestled in the mountains above the Bozburun Peninsula, with simply spectacular views, sits the lovely rustic retreat that is the Wolfs Trail Cottage. Owned and run by Ayhan, who also has the Chalet Vista in his portfolio, this is simply a lovely hideaway built with nature lovers in mind. It even made the Times 30 best Holidays in 2019 where it was described as an ideal spot to explore some of Turkey’s stunning historical sites without being hearded in a group as Ayhan is a trained guide and can arrange a bespoke itinerary for our guests.
Located near the village of Bayir, Ayhan, who is also a qualified guide also offers opportunities to explore this magnificent area on horseback, on foot or even by car. A 5 minute drive takes you to the restaurants in Bayir and also to some of the beaches in Delik and Ciftlik.
The stone walls of this single storey villa ensure that the villa is always kept cool even in the height of summer. There is a modern kitchen, a large open plan sitting room and the grounds are wonderfully wild with chickens, vegetables and even olive oil produced on site. Also on site is a 3m x 8m infinity pool with those amazing views and a Jacuzzi adds a bit of relaxing fun.

In a nutshell

Private walks and guided tours
The Wolf Trail’s owner Ayhan is a fully-qualified guide, trained in ornithology, botany, archaeology and trekking and his services are available to guests throughout their stay. His invaluable expertise guarantees the opportunity really explore the beauty of the Bozburun Peninsula and the surrounding area (as far afield as Ephesus).
Even if you don’t wish to take Ayhan’s private escorted tours – he is a font of local knowledge and will be delighted to share his passion and knowledge with you during your stay.
Trekking
The Wolf’s Trail is situated metres from The Carian Trail, a 500 mile long itinerant footpath which starts on the Bozburun Peninsula and crosses almost the entire Aegean. The waymarked footpath leads directly from the doorstep and is ideal for day treks through the lush flora and fauna, with pine needles crunching underfoot and a canopy of carob, pine and cedar trees above.
The route leads directly from the cottage through derelict settlements and past row upon row of beautiful beehives. Indeed, the area around Bayir is renowned for its carob and pine honey which is sold in solid sheets in local markets and has a distinctive, full taste. There is a quirky museum which celebrates all things honey and is well worth calling into during your stay.
Follow the path downhill to a series of delightful cooling pools, fed by a stream, which leads all the way to a small Lokanata (Turkish café) at the end of the trail, serving Turkish tea and Gözleme (a savoury pancake filled with spinach and cheese) in the shade of the trees. Further afield, The Carian Trail is yours to explore in bite-sized chunks, linking an ancient array of paths from traditional caravan routes, to goat trails and roman roads and passing through many unspoilt villages.
