Villa Pasa Turkey

The wonderful, one bedroom Villa Pasa sits quietly on the hillside in Akbel, Kalkan. Offering a gorgeous open plan living space, a fabulous bedroom suite, a beautiful terrace complete with an infinity pool together with sensational sea views, Villa Pasa serves well as a honeymoon destination. It is very private, very peaceful and only moments from the charms of Kalkan.
Akbel boasts a colourful Sunday market and a number of handy shops. It is a lovely spot only five minutes drive from the centre of Kalkan. Although you could walk down, you might not fancy the climb up with a full, content stomach! Kalkan is one of Turkey’s prettiest resorts brimming with fabulous restaurants, hilly, narrow cobbled streets covered with vibrant, cascading bougainvillea, independent shops, flower adorned courtyards and fabulous cocktail bars. Delicious gastronomic cuisine is offered from the town’s three hundred and fifty plus restaurants, some tucked away on secret corners, some hidden away in pretty warrens and some high up on rooftops where you will delight in the sensational sea views, especially at sunset. Akbel and Kalkan are surrounded by nature. You don’t have to drive far to be lazing on golden sands and dipping in dazzling, turquoise water.
Villa Pasa’s open plan living space is drowned in natural light though the floor-to-ceiling doors that open to the terrace. A lavish sofa and chair sit opposite the giant wall mounted television, also enjoying the far reaching views outside. They are adorned with colourful scatter cushions giving the room vibrant splashes of colour. The contemporary kitchen sits at the back of the room with a handy breakfast bar and excellent appliances for your self-catering stay.
The bedroom suite is pretty amazing and very spacious. You can relax in a giant jacuzzi bath enjoying the views while sipping a glass of champagne. It is a magical spot. Your sumptuous kingsize bed is beautifully dressed in crisp cottons and attractive throws and cushions. As well as the jacuzzi, you also enjoy an in-room ensuite bathroom that is thoroughly modern with the very best of fittings. The bedroom opens directly to the terrace so you can pop out for an early morning swim or a glass of your favourite tipple while watching the sunsets or night stars. Every space in this villa comes with fantastic panorama!
The terrace is a delight with a fabulous 8m x 3.5m infinity pool surrounded by trendy bean bag chairs, luxury loungers, an outdoor dining bench, built-in barbecue and a lovely shaded alfresco lounge area. Though the delights of Kalkan will be calling you, Villa Pasa is a heavenly retreat where you will definitely fully relax.Villa Pasa is nestled on the hillside in Akbel, just above the centre of Kalkan. Akbel is a delightful neighbourhood with a few shops, a lively market where you can stock up on fresh produce for the villa and superb vistas. The captivating town of Kalkan is one of the most beautiful on Turkey’s gorgeous Lycian Coast. Until the 1920’s, Kalkan was a sleepy fishing village and today it remains an unspoiled despite being a popular spot with tourists. It is a dreamy destination awash with nature, historic architecture, bougainvillea-draped streets, rooftop restaurants and sparkling turquoise, crystal clear sea. The busy harbour looks very attractive, full of yachts, gilets and boats awaiting tourists who want to explore the coast or enjoy some watersports. The town enjoys many bathing platforms for sun worshippers, a number of beach clubs and a small central beach. Other beach options nearby are the sandy cove of Kaputas, ten minutes away and the stunning sandy Patara Beach. Sprinkled along the narrow, hilly streets are Ottoman-Greek whitewashed chic boutiques and gift shops selling textiles, clothes, ‘designer’ handbags and very pretty jewellery. The town’s charming restaurants offer varied menus of Turkish mezes, zesty salads and plenty of fresh fish. Boat trips can be taken from Kalkan harbour on traditional gulets or other boats. The gulet trips are wonderful and usually come with a traditional meal. Visitors enjoy exploring the local bays, beaches and sea caves while others go further to Kekova, one of the most beautiful areas of the Turkish coast. Other popular excursions include those to the village of Ucaoyz and glass-bottom boat trips, all of which include swim stops. There are also romantic moonlight cruises and sunset trips. Thrillseekers can be taken to the top of the mountains to paraglide over the coast.  Just up the hill are the fabulous trout farms of Islamar where you can enjoy delicious dinners. Springs were diverted from the mountains into Islamar which led to a thriving trout farming industry. Not only will you be served delicious fresh fish, the views from the restaurant terraces are sensational.
Guests enjoy thrilling adventures such as kayaking along the Dalyan River or visiting the majestic and dramatic Saklikent Gorge which was opened as a national park in 1996. The gorge is 18km long and 300m deep. Visitors wade through chilly water, climb, swim and slide through the gorge and its many boulders and tunnels. It is exhilarating and great fun with the fresh mountain water often up to waist height. Guides can lead you through offering so much fun.  River rafting and dining by the waterside are additional options at this fantastic location.
Patara is a fantastic historic site, perfect for an excursion. It boasts an ancient theatre, restored parliament building and impressive Roman baths. The preserved ‘ghost village’ of Kayakoy where hundreds of deserted, Greek-style houses and churches sit eerily on the hillside should also be on your list of excursions. It was abandoned after the Turkish-Greek population exchange of 1923 and is eerily silent.
Less than half an hour away is the picturesque resort of Kas. It too enjoys narrow winding lanes, rustic wooden balconies draped in colourful bougainvillea, atmospheric, upmarket restaurants and beautiful boutiques and shops. It also boasts a well-preserved Greek amphitheatre which offers sensational views from the top tier.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
