Holiday Home Rental Description
Villa Emin is one of two sister villas, stood side by side, in Kiziltas and less than a ten minute drive from the centre of Kalkan. Villa Emin has five-bedrooms and the same modern architectural style as
Villa Ece. These properties can be booked individually, or taken together for a large group of friends or a special multi-generational family holiday. Shoulder to shoulder, they enjoy glorious eagle eye views over Kalkan as well as Mouse and Snake Islands. The large sea gazing infinity pool is worthy of the spotlight and the roomy pool deck provides plenty of space for lounging. With Kalkan just down the road, the villa enjoys a quiet residential position while being able to dip in and out of the action as and when you like. Kalkan is an archetypal harbour town with the most charming ambience and idyllic seafront setting, steeped in a rich culture and colourful history with all the holiday comforts you could want for.

Two indulgent mauve sofas provide plenty of space to unwind with a good book and a comfortable dining area enjoys glorious views out to sea. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances you could need to rustle up a culinary masterpiece. Stylish and contemporary the living space is practically large enough to accommodate ten guests, there is also a games room with billiards, table tennis and some gym equipment so it’s possible to hold some in-house tournaments.
Floor to ceiling bifold glass doors open effortlessly onto the alfresco lounge and pool terrace, providing a real sense of inside-outside living. Villa Emin completely embraces the Mediterranean holiday mode and laid back outside lifestyle. The lengthy en plein air dining area is made for gathering and enjoying sumptuous feasts by the barbecue.
Each of the five en-suite bedrooms are immaculately finished, three are double and two have single twin beds. The neutral theme continues throughout the bedrooms and three boast sun-drenched sea vistas and have outside room to roam. There is even a shared mansion balcony with sumptuous rattan furniture and a romantic penthouse terrace furnished with sun beds and possibly the best views in the house.Kalkan is a classic yet cosmopolitan harbour town on the southwest coast of Turkey and within easy reach of Dalaman airport. A labyrinth of cobbled passageways and pretty Greek-Ottman architecture rises from a picturesque waterfront setting.The town is small and sophisticated, well known for its elegant roof-terrace restaurants and laid back beach clubs. Dining options are bottomless in Kalkan and healthy competition has ensured unique and tasteful décor as well as an organic experience. The views in Kalkan are stunning, behind the town is framed by the foothills of the Taurus Mountain range and in front the azure Mediterranean Sea glistens. From some vantage points its even possible to see the Greek island of Castellorizo.
Hours can be enjoyed soaking up the local atmosphere on the public pebble beach. Followed by a wander just behind the seafront to peruse the leather shops, pestemal boutiques and artisan ceramics. A vibrant weekly market is held on a Thursday enticing all who pass with their foray of goods. The finest local produce can be found, so if you are thinking of barbecuing and maybe making your own meze its worth heading in early to get the best fish, wild herbs and vegetables of the day. There is also an array of stalls selling electrical goods, clothing, books and knick-knacks.
You should not miss a day or evening at sea on a boat. This is arguably the finest holiday experience when in Turkey. Around the Kas and Kalkan shoreline are numerous uninhabited picturesque islands, secret coves, hidden caves and empty beaches waiting to be explored. By day, the turquoise water gleams with a golden shimmer and by nightfall the phosphorescence dazzles. Relax aboard and enjoy a lazy day pootling, spoilt with sun, sea and exceptional cuisine.
Kalkan rests in the heart of the Lycian region and the area is steeped in artefacts from this dynasty. The most distinctive being rock-tombs, usually carved into the cliff face and found in clusters. They stretch all the way from Antalya to Fethiye. Six of the former principal Lycian cities lay as they fell and can be explored on day trips from Kalkan.
The entire region is bursting with gorgeous scenery, wildlife and colourful history. There are also some superb beaches either side of Kalkan which warrant a visit. While the excellent climate lends itself to being a sun worshippers paradise, there is plenty to see and do should you want more than a relaxing holiday by the pool.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
