Villa Begonvil Turkey

Five bedroomed Villa Begonvil has been designed to make the most of its hillside position, affording sea views from both inside and outside the villa. The modern villa sits above Kalkan’s centre with uninterrupted views over Kalkan Bay out towards Mouse and Snake Islands. With its contemporary interior, Villa Begonvil provides a relaxing environment for all the family. The main living area leads out onto a spacious terrace with an infinity pool, and there is also a well-equipped games room on the lower level.Villa Begonvil is in the Kiziltas area of Kalkan Turkey’s South West coast. This friendly and laid-back harbour-side town boasts the majestic pin tree-lined Taurus Mountains as a backdrop and has a grand sweeping Mediterranean bay.  The villa is within a short walk of a few local restaurants and a slightly longer downhill walk o Kalkan’s cobbled centre that comes alive at night. It’s a fantastic base to visit the Lycian ruins from or engage in the many local activities. Apart from the main pebble beach near the marina, where you can swim in the sheltered waters or relax on the soft sandy shores, there are many beach clubs set into the rocks, offering restaurant and bar service to your sunbed.
The town centre itself has winding streets that run along and rise away from the waterfront. The restaurants are either on pretty roof terraces, adorned with pretty lights offering views across Kalkan’s rooftops to the sea, tucked in charming corners or are directly on the marina and beach front. There are shops and markets selling everything from homemade rugs to fresh local produce. There are traditional barbers scattered around the town, so men can make sure they are fully groomed for an evening out. Start your holiday with a traditional pummeling at one of Kalkan’s Hamam’s, rubbing away any stress so you can relax and enjoy your holiday.
The landscape around Kalkan is diverse in exciting walking trails, including the famous Lycian Way Trail. From gentle half-hour walks to more strenuous full-day excursions, you can discover a wealth of history and culture on this track. Traverse through olive groves or head to spots like the preserved ‘ghost village’ of Kayaköy with hundreds of deserted, Greek-style houses and churches.
History lovers can continue the culture and visit Tlos in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, lots of other ancient Lycian sites such as Letoon, Patara and Xanthos , all less than an hours drive away. For more fun day trips, you can jump on a boat from Kalkan Harbour explore the bays and snorkel and swim or scuba dive at one of the local scuba schools.
Saklikent Gorge, a beautiful river and 18km canyon is also well worth a visit, where the athletic can walk in the waters through the canyon. You can combine a trip to the ancient site at Tlos and take lunch in one of the many trout restaurants, such as Yakapark.
For relaxing downtime, apart from the beach in the centre and Kaputaş, a perfect little sandy cove about 7km east of Kalkan, there’s Patara’s sandy beach. It’s rich in wildlife and is the breeding ground of the endangered loggerhead turtle. On the approach to the beach you can stop off at the area’s ancient ruins; a vast theatre as well as impressive Roman Baths.
