New Initiative To Promote Exclusive Escapes Sustainable Tourism on the Bozburun Peninsula In Turkey.

Online, June 29, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Addressing a niche travel market not well served by the large agencies a group of independent luxury villa owners on the Bozburun Peninsula have launched an initiative that offers guests looking for Exclusive Escapes in Turkey the opportunity to stay in luxury villas whilst enjoying a true rural Turkish village lifestyle. Its aim is to promote the Bozburun Peninsula as a high quality destination and offer luxury villa holidays on the peninsula directly to guests, working in partnership with villagers who offer experiences not available through the travel agencies.

According to John Cummins, the founder of this initiative. "Our guests have expressed a wish to be more part of a village during their holidays. It seems that a Turkish village lifestyle is very attractive to many guests as it helps them relax and reflect on their busy lives".

The group claim the advantage of booking directly with these independent luxury villas is that guests experience a more authentic rural Turkey experience as the owners are well connected in the villages, so guests are supporting sustainable tourism in the villages, providing employment and opportunities in the community.

The group has also linked up with the gulet owners of Bozburun to offer combined luxury villa and cruise holidays. Gulets are traditional wooden yachts and are made by hand locally on the Peninsula, so are a good fit for the sustainable tourism values of this initiative.

The group can also arrange luxury yacht cruises around the local Greek Islands as part of this launch initiative. The group has arranged many Exclusive Escapes with the villagers including sessions on making village bread over an open fire and cooking traditional Turkish food that you will take back to your villa to eat later.
