			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have invested in a 100% ecological pool  cleaning system that completely avoids the need to use Chlorine, Acid  and all other harmful chemicals normally used to keep a swimming pool  clean.</p>
<p>The new technology system from Spain was installed in Villa Nurtan by CEM HAVUZ of  Marmaris. It uses a low salt solution instead of Chlorine, eliminating  the polution problems when Chlorinated water is pumped into the  environment when back washing the pool filters.</p>
<p>It is 100% chemical free, a big contribution to sustainable tourism  in rural areas of Turkey like Orhaniye.</p>
<p>To make your pool free of chemicals, please contact <strong>Cengiz Aslan</strong> on <strong>+90 252 4131995</strong>, <strong>+90 532 241 3885</strong> or email <a href="mailto:caslan26@hotmail.com">caslan26@hotmail.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A group of luxury villa owners in Bozburun Peninsula Turkey have    created a new brand and Web site to promote the Bozburun Peninsula to    the British luxury travel market.</p>
<p>Seeing a gap in the market    between the free or volume villa rental sites and the niche travel    agencies a group of independent luxury villa owners on the Bozburun    Peninsula have created a new ‘Luxury Villas Turkey’ brand, aimed    primarily at the luxury British travel market. Its aim is to promote the    Bozburun Peninsula as a high quality destination and offer the luxury    villa holidays on the peninsula directly to guests.</p>
<p>According  to   John Cummins, the founder of this initiative. “Guests have  expressed   their frustration at having such a limited choice of villas  on the   Bozburun Peninsula, and for our part it is hard to get  visibility on the   large villa web sites as now there is a large amount  of cheap villas   swamping these sites, making them more like bazaars.  This is our   opportunity to promote the area and the best independent  luxury villas   as an alternative for guests”.</p>
<p>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. For example in the luxury villas  featured on the site in the   village of Orhaniye, all of the furniture  was hand made in the village   workshops and the villas were largely  constructed using craftsmen from   the village, with the support team  living in the village.</p>
<p>To   maintain the highest levels of  quality, only villas that have been   personally inspected and approved  by the founder as offering a luxury   holiday experience, with the villa  constructed to the latest Turkish   building standards are permitted to  join this group.</p>
<p>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 in  Bozburun, so are a good fit for the   sustainable tourism values of this  initiative.</p>
<p>To view the   available independent luxury villas on  the Bozburun Peninsula, please   browse the web site at <a href="http://www.luxuryvillasturkey.com/">http://www.luxuryvillasturkey.com</a>.</p>
<p>About Luxury Villas Turkey:</p>
<p>Luxury Villas Turkey is a new    initiative, formed by luxury villa owners on the Bozburun Peninsula to    promote the area as a quality destination to the luxury British travel    market. John Cummins is founder of Luxury Villas Turkey and can be    contacted on +44 7767 473057 or john@luxuryvillasturkey.com.</p>

This has been achieved by purchasing certified Wind Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) for 130% of the electricity used to both power and cool the Villa Nurtan server. So in effect all the energy that is used by the Villa Nurtan web site is now powered from wind turbines.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.bozburuninfo.com/">www.Bozburuninfo.com</a> </strong>is a new community site launched by tourist businesses in Bozburun to help guests find suitable holiday accommodation or gulet cruises directly with the owners, saving time and money.</p>
<p>In a bid to help guests to the Bozburun Peninsula find accommodation in Bozburun itself rather than Marmaris, the tourist businesses in Bozburun have created a community web site at <strong><a href="http://www.bozburuninfo.com/">www.bozburuninfo.com</a></strong> . It enables guests to quickly view and select the range of quality holiday accommodation available in Bozburun and the surroundings. This ranges from simple bed and breakfast houses, to boutique hotels, private gulet cruises, to luxury Turkish villas with private pools. Guests looking for a fabulous private gulet cruise or mixed cruise/villa holiday will save money by dealing directly with the owners.</p>
<p>Many guests do not realize that when they book a tourist gulet cruise through a travel agent, the agency takes a large part of your money so the actual owner has to cut costs on the cruise, which is not good for your experience or the owner himself. By booking direct you are sure to get pampered by the crew and enjoy an unforgettable holiday sailing the local waters, which are considered the finest in the Mediterranean.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On April 15<sup>th</sup> this year a <strong>new Customs post will open in Bozburun</strong> serving the Bozburun Peninsula. This is excellent news for private yacht owners and gulet cruises as they can now clear Turkish Customs locally in Bozburun when entering/leaving Turkish waters. Gulet tours cruising Simi and the other Greek islands starting from the Bozburun Peninsula will now save a day compared to those starting in Marmaris. Gulet cruises from the Bozburun Peninsula can now avoid the long detour to Datca and sail directly to Simi. The news Customs post will be open from April to October 2010.  More info at <strong><a href="http://www.bozburuninfo.com/">www.bozburuninfo.com</a></strong></p>
