Turkey practices safe sanitation standards, and tap water is suitable for bathing and regular tasks such as brushing teeth. However, as is customary in most Mediterranean countries, the majority of locals and visitors drink bottled water. We recommend that visitors follow local custom and drink bottled water.

Climate

When to travel in Turkey? Spring is best, autumn next, then summer, last winter.

• Spring - april through mid june - is prime because the weather is moderate throughout the country, the days are long, and the tourist rush hasn't begun.
• Autumn - mid september through october - is second best with mostly mild weather, but the days are shorter, and rain may begin in October.
• Summer - mid june through mid september - is quite hot, though usually rainless.
• Winter - november through march - is chill and rainy everywhere except the southeast, but with fewer tourists.

Hospital

Anatolia Hospital is located on the main road, less than 500m away from the villa.
