Turkiye is a golfer's paradise, and much of that is down to Belek on the country's southern Mediterranean coast.
Courses here cut through lush pine forest, set on far, sandy ground that's kept in immaculate condition all year round.
And for those never quite ready to call it a day,
Belek is also host to the first full 18-hole floodlit course in Europe.
Local pro Dennis Satmaz is lucky enough to call Belek her training ground.
There are more than 15 courses.
You can play golf in winter and summer.
And once the round is done, long lunches replace scorecards and spas, hamams and slow afternoons take over.
When I'm not playing golf, I usually go to the beach, tan, go into the sea.
You just feel like you're in another world.
Because in Belek, luxury isn't about excess.
It's about time well spent.
