Enjoy the vista as you swing in one of the hanging chairs before taking a cooling afternoon dip. Start the day on the running machine and stationary bike in the lower ground floor games room, and end it with a game of ping pong and table football before watching your favourite film on the flat screen TV. Serve cocktails on the terrace as the sun sets at the plush seating area before dining alfresco with local delicacies freshly grilled on the barbecue as you watch the town of Kalkan come to life under a twinkling Turkish sky.Villa Gokyuzu is located the top of the international holiday hot spot of Kalkan, and enjoys panoramic views of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, the town, and the harbour.
Kalkan is 121 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 cobbled streets of the old town, full of traditional white houses, festooned with brightly coloured bougainvillea. Kalkan is home to a reputed one hundred and fifty restaurants, cafes, and bars, and lots of souvenir and craft shops, full of goodies you’ll want to take home. From the villa it is a short walk to the local mini market for your daily provisions. Take a five minute drive into Kalkan where you can find supermarkets, shops, banks, and a fabulous Thursday market selling fresh local produce and hand crafted souvenirs.
The nearest beach is a ten minutes’ drive to the harbour, where there is a pebble beach with calm clear waters, sun loungers and parasols for hire, and a local café for refreshments. Alternatively hop on one of the many private water taxis to whisk you away to one of the beach clubs of your choice. There are fifteen very different beach clubs populating the Kalkan coastline, from the sophisticated Villa Mahal and laid back Indigo, to the family friendly Kalkan Beach Park and the beautifully staged Zest with its huge adult and kids’ infinity pools. Travel further afield to the stunning Kaputas Beach, set in a natural gorge, it’s only two hundred steps down, and two hundred back up again. Take a trip to Patara, where you will find two two-thousand year old amphitheatres, ancient ruins, and fortifications, and twenty kilometres of unspoilt golden sands, with a protected area for the hatching Caretta Caretta turtles.
No stay in Kalkan is complete without a boat trip from the harbour, whether it’s a shared one with family and friends, or why not charter your own private gulet for a day at sea with your favourite captain and crew, it is the stuff memories are made of. All aboard for a day of swimming and snorkelling in beautiful bays, enjoy a meal of local homecooked meze, take afternoon tea on board, and then sail back to harbour, cocktail in hand to watch the famous sunsets.
Back on dry land don’t miss the opportunity to experience an authentic Turkish hammam, enjoy the heat and bubbles of a hands-on massage, and be pampered in one of the many super spas all over town. 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 label and sparkling jewellery shopping. Whilst the nearer town of Kas is just twenty-five kilometres in the other direction, it’s 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. If you are feeling intercontinental, hop on the twenty-minute ferry from Kas to the Greek island of Meis, known locally as Kastellorizo, where you can swim in the beautiful Blue Cave, then dine alfresco under a Grecian sky by the water’s edge.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
