Villa Emira Turkey

It’s all about the view when you holiday at Villa Emira, to the west of the holiday hot spot of Kalkan in Turkey. Situated high above the hills, Villa Emira commands panoramic views of the Turquoise Coast, as far as the eye can see of the Mediterranean Sea, and the quaint town of Kalkan. Small, but exquisitely formed this two bedroom, two bathroom villa can comfortably accommodate up to four guests, making it ideal for a small family, friends sharing, or a romantic get away for two.
The villa is stone built, on one level, comes with private parking, and complimentary Wi-Fi and air-conditioning throughout. The design is high-spec contemporary chic, using a palette of splashes of primary colour highlights, and an eclectic selection of modern art. Enter a world of open-plan living, flooded with natural light with floor to ceiling sea views, and gadgets galore. The seating area has a cream coloured L-shaped sofa, a scattering of coffee and side tables, facing a flat screen satellite channel smart TV, blue tooth speakers, and a DVD player, stunning sea views, and access to the pool terrace. The fully-equipped kitchen includes all the necessary accessories to cook up local culinary delights, as well as a water cooler, a must-have coffee maker, and a breakfast bar to seat four, where you can all gather to discuss the day’s activities.
On the same floor, there are two spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed, fitted wardrobes with a make-up desk, a safe to house your valuables, a projector screen with surround sound to play your favourite movies, and a large jacuzzi with a view to behold. There is an en-suite shower room, with WC and single wash basin. Best of all the bedroom has seriously good sea views, and immediate access to the pool terrace through the floor to ceiling sliding doors. The second bedroom is also home to a double bed, fabulous sea views, an en-suite shower room, and access to the pool terrace.
The pool terrace has the most fantastic outdoor space, with an impressive  infinity swimming pool, relaxing cushioned sunbeds, a covered pergola dining area with barbeque, lounge seating, and spectacular views. Imagine yourself sipping cocktails watching the sun set, before dining alfresco under the stars, your own little bit of heaven.Villa Emira is nestled in the hills and olive groves of Kalamar, overlooking the harbour town of Kalkan, with panoramic views over the aptly named Turquoise Coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The town of Kalkan is 125 kilometres from Dalaman Airport, a scenic one and a half hour journey through the Turkish countryside and Taurus mountains. Originally a Greek enclave called Kalamaki, Ottoman and Hellenic influences can be found in the winding streets of the old town, full of traditional white houses and home to a plethora of restaurants, cafes and bars, and souvenir shops full of goodies you’ll want to take home. Many of Kalkan’s best beach clubs are within walking distance of the villa, with bathing platforms, sea views, swimming pools, and waiter service, there’s no need to leave your sun lounger all day.
No stay in Kalkan is complete without a boat trip from the harbour, whether it’s a shared one with family and friends or you charter your own gulet, a day out at sea with your favourite captain and crew, is one to treasure. All aboard for a day of swimming and snorkelling in beautiful bays, enjoy a meal of local homecooked meze, take afternoon tea, and then sail back to harbour cocktail in hand to watch the sunset. For the beach bunnies, Kalkan has its own pebble beach with easy access into the sea. Travel further afield to the stunning Kaputas Beach set in a natural gorge, or take a trip to Patara, where you will find twenty kilometres of unspoilt golden sands and a protected area for the hatching turtles. Kalkan is home to a number of beach clubs along the length of its coastline, have some fun in the sun at family-friendly resorts offering water sports and swimming pools, or relax and unwind at exclusive luxury destinations and be waited on hand and foot whilst enjoying alfresco spa treatments. For those with itchy feet the Lycian Way walking trail cuts through Kalkan. Follow in the footsteps of thousands of years of history, as you trek the trail taking you through major archaeological sites, local villages, dramatic coastlines, and the areas’ flora and fauna. Take a short journey to the town of Kinik, where you can step back in time to the Lycian city of Xanthos.
Follow the D400 to Fethiye, and discover the historical sites of Patara, Letoon, Tlos, and Pinara, where you can see the ancient ruins, amphitheatres and temples with Lycian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine influences. The harbour town of Fethiye is also full of ancient sites worth seeing, as well as a foodie-heaven fish market, and home to some seriously good designer labels and fabulous jewellery shopping. Whilst the nearer town of Kas is just twenty-five kilometres away, and worth the journey alone along one of the world’s most stunning and dramatic coastlines. Walk through the harbour to the cobbled streets full of Ottoman architecture and overhanging balconies festooned with pastel coloured bougainvillaea, barter for unique handmade and antique goods in its many shops, and make memories dining in one of the traditional restaurants serving authentic Turkish cuisine with mesmerising sea views. And if you’re feeling intercontinental hop on the twenty-minute ferry from Kas to the Greek island of Meis, where you can explore the Blue Cave and dine by the water’s edge.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
