What's so fascinating about Kusadasi is that it blurs the distinctions between Europe and Asia. Having taken the best that Europe can offer and blended this with the enthusiasm and appeal of the East, Kusadasi has developed into one of the best holiday destinations in the world; and these luxury holiday rental apartments in Whispering Sands provide the ideal location to see it all. Fully furnished right down to the bottle opener, and catering at leisure for the family looking for that special place to enjoy a memorable holiday.

This luxury holiday rental apartment complex offers loads of on-site activities and amenities ideal for perfect summer holidays for all the family. You don't have to leave the complex if you don't want to, but you should take the time to stroll around the old town of Kusadasi. Having one of the most picturesque sea front promenades and one of the largest marinas in Turkey, this beautiful town is well worth exploring. Kusadasi a deep water harbour town with a population of over 60,000, is located on the Aegean Coast, approximately 50 minutes from Izmir airport, 90 minutes from Bodrum airport and 1 hours drive from Izmir City.

Just 30 years ago Kusadasi was a sleepy traditional seaside village dependent on farming, fishing and honey production. Now it is one of the most important resort destinations in the world. The town centre and the suburbs are full of shops, restaurants and non-stop night-life. It has something for everyone whatever the age or interest. Sip Turkish tea at a seafront café or dine on just caught fish at local restaurants. Stroll among the narrow winding streets of the old town and discover pockets of the old style Turkey with its vibrant markets, bars and cafes. Whispering Sands is situated in one of the most sought after areas of Kusadasi on the southern side of the town just off the main Kusadasi to Bodrum road, overlooking the Aegean Sea and town below.

These privately owned luxury holiday rental apartments are located in what must surely be one of the most complete secure communities in Turkey. Parents can relax happy in the knowledge their children are in a safe environment with so much to keep them occupied.

Watch from the safety of your balcony as your children "Escape the clutches of the maddest, meanest pirate bands of the seven seas" or… "Grapple with the biggest, snappiest crocodile the world has ever seen" or... "Score the best winning goal ever for the Olympic Water Polo team"… You will marvel at the tales they have to tell when they come back to base looking for lunch, and taking a break from their fun filled escapades. Then once a week watch as one of the wonders of Whispering Sands unfolds before your very eyes…The Pool Party Night! This is likely to be one of the most enjoyable fun nights of your holiday, and certainly that of the children. This is the night they are allowed to jump in the pool with all their clothes on, yes you read right. Come dressed and let your children walk you to the edge of the pool and push you in. I promise you it will be a highlight for them and photos may appear on Facebook of your exploits! There'll be party games too, and dancing under the stars.

Definitely not to be missed is the now "famous" Whispering Sands boat trip. Once a week all those who want to, head for the sea, spending a day cruising around the bays, diving off the boat into the beautiful Aegean sea, sunbathing on deck, or just taking the opportunity to break the ice with fellow holiday makers; this is certainly the way to do it.

Enjoying fun filled summer holidays at Whispering Sands will be as easy as stretching out on a cushioned sun lounger, sipping a cool drink by the pool or just watching huge cruise ships sail by on their way to and from Kusadasi port. Tantalise your taste buds with mouth-watering dishes from the kitchen, join our fitness suite, have a sauna and then a soothing massage. If you really feel energetic, play football or join in the games and fun events around the pool. After all that sit back, relax and enjoy an aperitif before the evening entertainment begins. Live music, dance and karaoke nights will keep you laughing and happy into the wee small hours.

Many tours and sight-seeing trips can be arranged through the office at Whispering Sands, days out to Ephesus, the world famous heritage site, The Temple of Artemis, one of the ancient 'Wonders of the World', take a trip to the water parks Adaland and Aquafantasy (2 really good water parks on the edge of town about 5 minutes drive from Whispering Sands), go shopping to the outlet stores at Soke, less than 5 minutes to great beaches such as the famous Ladies Beach and Long Beach, with lots of sea sports including scuba diving, paragliding, wind surfing, fishing trips, water skiing, and much more. Visit The Virgin Mary's house, the former Greek mountain village of Sirince now famous for its berry wines, or Pamukkale, where the hot spas look like cotton cliffs. Go horse riding, go-kart racing, or take a day out on a boat trip. A luxury holiday rental apartment in Whispering Sands, Kusadasi is the perfect base from which to explore the wonders of the Aegean coast of Turkey.

During July and August join in the fun; there'll be pool parties, themed music nights, teenager discos, pool games and daily entertainment. Want it a bit quieter then choose an apartment away from the pool, otherwise let your hair down and join in.
