Local Area

It is only a short walk down hill to the old village of Kalkan where you will find a discerning mix of Europeans and Istanbul Turks attracted by Kalkan's reputation within Turkey.

Kalkan has long been considered the prettiest of the small coastal towns along Turkey's Lycian turquoise Mediterranean coast, nestling in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains in the heart of the old Lycian region. With its maze of cobbled streets, white washed houses and flowered covered alleyways, Kalkan has the charm of a tranquil fishing village where the simple houses have been lovingly restored, under strict conservation laws, to create the sophisticated atmosphere of an up-market resort.

The town is full of enchanting shops which stay open until midnight, a lively harbour, cafes and rooftop restaurants to excite the discerning diner, jazz bars and a very smart marina where beautiful 'gulets', the traditional wood built fishing boats, moor after day trips or stunning full week cruises.

There is only a pebble man made beach in Kalkan but there are plenty of 'Beach Clubs' which are open to non-members. They offer sunbeds, swimming, water sports, restaurant and bar facilities.

There are 2 sandy beaches in the immediate vicinity of Kalkan, Kaputas being the first is only a 6km drive east. It can be found at the bottom of a ravine, down approximately 100 steps but with the most beautiful turquoise sea. Patara is the second, part of a National Park and a 19km drive to the west. It was voted one of the world's best beaches by The Times readers, with 22kms of pure white sand which stretches as far as the eye can see, making it ideal for a day away from the holiday crowds.

Patara is also an ancient site with numerous interesting ruins. Historically it is known as the birthplace of St Nicholas (Father Christmas) and according to mythology Apollo was also born here.

Travelling further afield, and all easily accessible from Kalkan along Turkey's Lycian coast, there are the ancient sites of Xanthos, (Kinik) the Lycian capital and the single most important city 18kms north of Patara, Letoon 6kms further on, Tlos, Lycia's longest inhabited city and many others.

Saklikent, a narrow gorge about 300m high and 18km long, is accessed by a suspended wooden catwalk. Once you have crossed through the ice cold water you can begin the journey uphill into the gorge. After an epic journey there is an abundance of restaurants serving freshly cooked trout from local hatcheries and local delicacies to choose from for lunch.

So whether your interest is cultural, historical or just relaxing then Kalkan has everything to make you want to return time and time again.

A Welcome Pack awaits you upon arrival and we supply a daily maid service for light cleaning. Twice weekly there is a full villa clean and linen change is done. There is a mobile 'Pay as You Go' phone in the villa with a local Turkish SIM card for ordering taxis or making restaurant reservations. An English speaking agent is available for help and advice.

Because of the elevated position of our house and the spiral staircase it is not ideal for the elderly or infirmed.

Transfers can be arranged along with car hire.
