While Antalya, Alanya, Side, Kumköy are crowded by tourists, you will find only pure nature and wonderful peace in Bizimköy.
South of the site there is a nature reserve with magnificent pine trees along the beach. In spring everything's in bloom, everywhere you see red anemones, a wonderful sight!
Walk a few minutes to the west, you get to the mouth of the river Manavgat. Here some anglers are fishing every day, the fish do probably bite well.
Walk along the beach 4 km to the east, you reach Kizilagac where you will find restaurants, shops and discos.
To the north and east of Bizimköy there are only fields - mostly cotton fields - and meadows.
In the evenings a sheep- and goat herd passes Bizimköy and grazes 'almost in front of your Window '.
Many other animals can be observed. Little owls live in the chimneys of the houses, tortoises cross -especially in spring- your way. Storks stopover on the neighboring field and feast on the many frogs. And at the ponds you can even see Kingfishers sometimes.
The cats of our village keep a respectful distance to the guests, but are quickly tame, if you feed them.
Also ants are there. Use caution when fyou leave food lying open, ant also come into the house! This is normal, and people who can not tolerate ants, spiders, geckos etc., should rather book on the 10th floor of a high rise hotel or shun trips to the south completely.
