We stayed in Butterfly valley two nights. The nature and scenery is amazingly beautiful. The whole concept of the area is great - sort of secluded comune type of place. I would however like to point out that comparing the property prices with other properties in Selcuk, Kas and other nice places - it is quite pricey for what they are offering. We stayed in a wooden hut which is very very basic.Inside the house it is extremely hot, so you can not really rest there. The food that is included in the price is the same every day and it is vegetarian, so you need to go for dinner to a place nearby where they offer meat and fish as well. The toilets and showers are very basic as well, and can sometimes (toward the evening time) get quite dirty and without toilet paper. What is the most disturbing are the boats that come into the valley around 10 am and stay there until 13.00 - with a huge number of tourists, loud music and they simply destroy the scenery and its quiet setting. Otherwise the concept of the valley is great, the hosts are amazingly kind and helpful, the evenings with live music are out of this world original and you just feel you are in a different world. There s even a small bookstore - a guy selling books (also English ones).It sort of feels like that Leonardo Dicaprio from the movie The beach will show up around the corner - this is sort of the vibe of the place. I would recommend it for sure, just be prepared for some very basic...

Read moreWe were here in August, 2019 in the evening (6-7pm). We came by one of the party ships from Olüdeniz beach. Originally, we wanted to go by a boat taxi but as it was quite late, we didn't want to bother looking for one, risking that noone would take us there, so we just took the party ship insted. It was 50 turkish lira per passenger. Most of the people were partying on the main deck but just a level below there was nobody. We were afraid of crowds on the beach but at least around the evening there was noone, just couple of campers who were staying overnight. Actually, it was three large party ships total on the beach and yet, the beach felt calm and empty. Almost a real paradise experience. The beach really is secluded and is absolutely incomparable to overcrowded Olüdeniz beach. It is sandy and you can spot turtles there. There are facilities to get water or food from. It was just 20-30 minutes ride by the party ship. I still recommend taking the boat taxi, as the party ship let you stay just for an hour. But I guess other ships might have...
