LUXURY AWAITS

Exclusive Escapes specialises in small, family-owned hotels and chic villas with pools throughout the Lycian Coast, operating in stylish locations, including the archetypal Mediterranean harbour towns on Kalkan and Kas, and villages along Bozburun Peninsula.

Its ethos is to go that extra mile to make sure families enjoy a hassle-free and indulgent holiday, and children always receive a warm welcome. There are a number of organised activities throughout the school holidays, from farm visits to picnics and barbecues.

A TRIP TAILORED JUST FOR YOU

Your hassle-free break starts with civilised Saturday flights from the private terminal at Stansted, or with BA from Heathrow, or from Manchester with Monarch, departing at a sensible hour while maximising the time spent in coastal Turkey before returning home. Exclusive Escapes’ experienced team can plan a holiday that suits both your family’s style and your budget

Further afield, there are city breaks to Istanbul, adventures in the stunning National Park of Cappadocia, tours of the classical site of Ephesus or the historic Gallipoli Peninsula on the Aegean.

WHERE YOU’LL STAY

The super-stylish Dionysos Estate is wrapped around a canyon with stunning sea views over the unspoilt bay of Kumlbuk. There is an impressive array of facilities, but the focal point is undoubtedly the enormous infinity pool. There is also a Decelor and Elemis spa with open-air hot tubs, a gym, mountain bikes, yoga classes, a tennis court, golf net and artificial putting green.

FUN FOR KIDS, HEAVEN FOR FOODIES

The estate opens its doors to families throughout the school holidays, and organises guided walks and fun children’s visits to the hotel’s organic farm where they can help tend to animals, watch the milking and pick fruit and vegetables. During October, families can help bring in the olive harvest, and see the hotel’s extra virgin olive oil being bottled.

A private sandy beach club with gentling shelving waters offers safe swimming, and a range of watersports, including canoes and sea bikes, water-skiing, windsurfing and kayaking, as well as petanque. The hotel has three restaurants, which all use organic fruit, vegetables and herbs grown on the estate; olive oil and wine are also produced.

GETTING AROUND

Good news! The Canadians drive on the left plus the roads are some of the most comfortable and best maintained in the world so you’ll have peace of mind as you embark some of the most unforgettable scenic drives of your life.

All family-friendly tours include SUVs with plenty of space for families; they’re great at ensuring you have the right vehicle for the job. Your car will be an automatic – don’t worry if you’ve never driven one before, it’s actually much easier than adapting to a manual and the simplicity of driving an automatic means you’ll have more relaxed drives and more time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

If you would prefer a unique and different way of travelling, you could consider hiring a motorhome – Canada Sky offer a range of packages with campervans large enough to happily accommodate families.

WEATHER

One of the reasons that Canada is such a fantastic destination to go for families is that the best time to go coincides with the school summer holidays. The ideal time to visit Canada is between the months of June and September when the weather is warmer and the days are longer. This gives you more time to see the country and gives you a greater variety of things to do.
