Sunbathe? or just be very busy doing nothing in your personal paradise? </B> <P> <B>"Villa Julia" has a homely atmosphere and comfortable guest rooms sleeping up to 14. All rooms have air-conditioning and en-suite facilities, and most have either a balcony or terrace with stunning sea views. There’s a cosy sitting room opening onto the terrace with its sofa and easy chairs for a siesta in the shade, tables and chairs for dining under the stars, and an extensive library of paperbacks.  Make the most of the Mediterranean sun on the sunbeds, either on the gently sloping beach and in the bougainvillea filled garden. Chill off with a dip in the swimming pool or the sea, dive from the private jetty, or lounge in the shade of trees in the garden.</B> <P> <B>A short stroll along the beach is a fishing quay with restaurant and a small mini-market. Then beyond the quay is a beautiful coastal walk through the ‘lost valley’ - an archaeologically protected area - to the neighbouring hamlet of Saranda with more restaurants.</B> <P> "<B>Villa Julia" nestles on the edge of Sögüt Köyü, a rural seaside village, which is set at the head of a spectacular bay and flanked by the mountains of the Loryma peninsula, an important area in ancient times and some of the most wild and unspoilt countryside on the south west coast of Turkey. The local people are among the most welcoming in Turkey, they are mainly self-sufficient, making a living from agriculture and fishing. </B><p align="center"><A TARGET="_top" HREF="Where.html"><font size="4">Where we are</font></A><font size="4">     </font><A HREF="ThingsToDo.html" TARGET="_top"><font size="4">Things to do</font></A><font size="4">     </font><A HREF="index.html" TARGET="_top"><font size="4">HOMEPAGE</font></A><font size="4">     </font><A HREF="mailto:sailandvilla@gmail.com?subject=Villa Julia" TARGET="_top"><font size="4">e-mail us</font></A><font size="4"> </font></p> <P> <font size="4"> </font></BODY>
