Villa Handan Turkey

If it’s some family fun in the sun or group get together, Villa Handan is your ideal home from home holiday hot spot. Nestled in the hills of Kisla, in the town of Kalkan, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom villa can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests. Built over three storeys, this modern detached villa has the added advantage of being west facing, and benefits from having the best views of the most stunning sunsets over the turquoise Mediterranean Sea. The villa has its own dedicated parking space. There is complimentary Wi-Fi and air-conditioning throughout. This light and airy modern villa is stylishly furnished with local wood, decorated with a neutral palette with splashes of highlight colours, and contemporary artwork on the walls.
Enter the villa at ground floor level where you will find an open plan living area full of natural light and breath-taking sea views. The seating area has a large L-shaped soft grey sofa and pouffe, with a scattering of wooden coffee and side tables, and a flat-screen television with a DVD player. There is also a separate soft seating lounge area in a cosy nook. The wooden indoor dining table with eight chairs is ideal for some formal entertaining. Cook up a storm with local ingredients from the Thursday market in the fully-equipped American style white and blue kitchen, including oven and hob, fridge and dishwasher, and microwave. Take the open staircase to the first floor, where you will find four double ensuite bedrooms. There are three rooms with double beds, and one with two twin beds, all have wardrobes and bedside tables, air-conditioning, modern bathrooms with walk-in showers, and furnished balconies with beautiful sea views. A baby cot is available on request.
Access the pool terrace from the ground floor to discover a world of outdoor living. The swimming pool is a generous 7m x 3m, and has easy access Roman steps. The pool is surrounded by blue cushioned sun loungers, large parasols for some shade on those hot summer days, a free-standing barbeque, and a dining table and chairs for some fabulous alfresco eating under the stars.  
Villa Handan is nestled in the hills and olive groves of Kisla, 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.
