This stunning villa has four spacious double bedrooms and can accommodate up to eight guests, in some comfort, and a lot of style. The villa is perfect for a large family holiday or friends’ sharing get together. Villa Roc is a detached property, built over three floors, and set within its own grounds, with lawned gardens, a private swimming pool, and surrounded by a traditional stone wall. The villa is constructed out of classic local stone, and soft yellow painted plaster, nestled in the hillside, next to the sea. Villa Roc comes complete with a private parking carport, and complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout. The interiors are light, bright, and airy, with floor to ceiling sliding doors that offer uninterrupted sea views. The furnishings are stylish and modern, the décor is a crisp clean white with highlights of primary colours, and the ambiance is one of cool, calming tranquillity.
Enter the villa at ground floor level, where you will discover your holiday home of light and airy open plan living. There are two seating areas, one with a comfy grey sofa and two contrasting yellow armchairs, a wooden coffee table, and picture window sea views, with access to the pool terrace. The other is a cosy corner with a brown leather sofa and chairs, a smart television, and an open fire for those cooler months and quiet evenings in. The adjacent dining set is a classic brown round table wooden with matching chairs, ideal for some impressive indoor entertaining. The smart white and black marble kitchen is fully equipped with all the mod cons you will need to cater for your holidays, including a huge American style fridge freezer, a built-in oven and hob, and a microwave and dishwasher, as well as a breakfast bar and stools. Take the open circular staircase to the first floor, where you will find two spacious double bedrooms. Each room has a double bed, wardrobes, make-up tables, and dressers, ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers, and furnished sea view balconies. The second floor has two more identically furnished double bedrooms, each with twin beds, one with an ensuite bathroom, and the other with a separate bathroom in the hallway. The paved terrace is home to a stunning swimming pool with a waterfall shower, and sea views. The pool is surrounded by flamingo pink cushioned sun loungers, and shady parasols, and lush green lawns. A pergola covered soft seating area with a wicker sofa, chairs, and table set, sits of the cliff edge overlooking the sea, the perfect place to enjoy a sun downer at sun set. Dine under a twinkling sky at the eight seater table and chairs on the veranda, and raise a glass to a happy holiday. Take the seventy metre path down to the sea front, where you can sunbathe on the wooden platform, and dive into the cool clear Mediterranean Sea from your own private jetty.Villa Roc is located overlooking beautiful Kalamar Bay, to the west of the quaint harbour town of Kalkan, situated on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, the jewel 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.
Kalkan was originally a Greek enclave called Kalamaki, and Ottoman and Hellenic influences can be found in the winding streets of the old harbour town. Walk through the cobbled streets full of traditional white houses, home to a reputed one hundred and fifty restaurants, cafes, and bars, enticing souvenir shops, and designer brand stores stuffed with objects of desire. After dark, dine in one of the famous rooftop restaurants with stunning harbour and sea views, sampling traditional Turkish delights and international cuisine.
From the villa it is a short drive to the local shops and restaurants of Kalamar, and a five minute drive into Kalkan where you can find supermarkets and banks, and a local Thursday market, that can cater for all the provisions you will need for a happy holiday. Within walking distance of the villa is the charming Kalamar and Kulube Beach Clubs, with restaurants, and full size swimming pool. Take a trip into town, and at the harbour get aboard one of the complimentary water taxis to one of the many exclusive beach clubs. The beach clubs all have with bathing platforms, sea views, sun lounger waiter service, restaurants, and bars, and some offer full size swimming pools, water sports, and spa services too.
For the beach bunnies, Kalkan has its own pebble beach with organised sun loungers and brollies, easy access into the calm Mediterranean sea, and its own cute cafe. Travel further afield to the stunning Kaputas Beach set in a natural gorge, only two hundred steps down and two hundred steps back up, but well worth it for the scenery and the sea. Take a trip to Patara, where you will find twenty kilometres of unspoilt golden sands, and a protected area for the hatching Caretta Caretta turtles. Patara also boasts an archaeological site over two thousand years old, with not just one but two ancient amphitheatres, not to mention the most stunning sunsets, best seen from the ever-changing sand dunes.
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 that 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, and then sail back to harbour cocktail in hand to watch the sunset.
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, Sidyma, 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 in the other direction, 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 swim in the mystical Blue Cave and dine by candlelight at the water’s edge.We can usually put you in touch with the right people arrange any of the following:
