• One of the most beautiful gulfs in the world

The Plot:
The available plots are 800m2 each and the price of each plot – at GB £400,000 – includes the build of a four-bedroom custom designed villa complete with swimming pool and jetty. The maximum build size is 30% of the plot area. Both plots face out towards Calis Beach on the mainland.
Location & Access:
This unique development opportunity is situated in the Gulf Of Fethiye – on one of its 12 islands. Unlike most of the other islands it is still inhabited.
The 12 islands are located between the capes of Kurtoglu and Iblis. They are covered with forests and offer many secluded inlets and coves, making them a haven for yachts.
Knight’s Island (known locally as Sovalye – and pronounced chevalier) is the only island in Fethiye’s inner bay. As the closest island to the harbour, it is ignored by all the major tour-boat operators. Yet, by water taxi it's only 15 minutes between Fethiye town and Sovalye and just 7 minutes to Calis Beach. So should the tranquility of island life begin to pall, there is easy access to the lively nightlife on the mainland. But for most visitors, the very attraction of Sovalye is its quietness.
- The island offers a fascinating insight into history:
In the crystal clear coastal waters you can make out the ruins of settlements dating back to Roman times. Paddling or swimming over submerged houses, city walls, church, olive pots and amphora is a unique experience.
- Inland, hidden amid the pine and carob trees, are the remains of Crusader Castle – built by the Knights of St John after they crossed over from nearby Rhodes.
- There is a boutique B&B on the island in addition to a peninsula café, which offers views out to sea as well as across Sunset Beach.
- Apart from the B&B and a couple of private rentals, all buildings on the island are private residences – ensuring the peaceful character of this beautiful island.
- Away from the water, the only noticeable noise comes from the island’s wildlife, birds in their hundreds, and a non-stop cacophony of cicadas.
- The island is a favourite retreat for writers and the quality of light has a special lure for artists.
- Island vegetation includes olive, carob, banana, cyprus acacia, lemon and baugainvilliea and jasmine. During the summer months the air can be heavily scented with jasmine.
- A stunning and peaceful island, described as being straight out of ‘Swallows and Amazons’.
