            Food and beverages

              You will find the best tips for restaurants etc. in a good travel guide, which we recommend wholehearted.
              Beneath you'll just find recommendations in regard to your stay in Villa Mimosa
 

              Water, coffee, tea:

              Because the water pipes runs over long distances and not very deep below the surface, the quality of the water
              is not always perfect.  Therefore we recommend to drink bottled water.  Of course you can boil the water and use it
              for example for tea or coffee.
 

              Pork and alcohol:

              Turkey has a Muslim culture and this has its effects on the menu. Pork will be sold scarcely, so, if you buy bacon, salami etc.
              the prices will be outrageous and still are not conform your taste.
              Possible solutions are: to relinquish during your stay from several pork products, the Turkish kitchen offers a lot of variation,
               and is very tasteful,  to bring it yourselves or to go for a trip to the Greek island of Meyisti (Greek name: Kastellorizon), to
               buy it over there.
              The same goes for alcohol.

           Linens and other items

              When you rent Villa Mimosa you'll find the following linens:
              2 bath towels per person per week, bed linen, kitchen towels and  guest towels..
              There are no beach towels available, you may bring  them yourselves or buy them (cheap) in Kas.

              The pool and  beaches at Villa Mimosa have stairs. so the water can be easily reached. In Kas are a number of pebble
              beaches, water shoes can come in handy. these are for sale in Kas, as well as snorkels and flippers.
              The diving courses include clothing.

              In the villa are an iron and ironing board present, there is no hair dryer available.

 

           Money

             You can pay everywhere with euros or Turkish Lira's.

             When you arrive at the airport, there are exchange offices, which are eager to help you. However, they are rather expensive.
             Immediately after the customs, you'll find ATMs, where you can withdraw money at the official exchange rate.

                 Tips for car rent
 

                    There will be some items you have to keep in mind when you rent a car:

             -       First of all: control the yellow pages they will give you, to control if you car is insured. this is an insurance certificate
             -       In Turkey it is custom to deliver the rented car with an empty petrol tank.
                      Therefore you have to turn it in with an empty tank. So ask when you arrive where the nearest petrol tank is.
             -       You pay to the person who helps you at the pump, not in the shop. Here you can buy f.e. water (important en route) 
             -       There is often no road map in your car and most of them are not very accurate. So take a map with you, ours are better.
