Villa Alara 3 Turkey

Enjoy a luxury holiday in a villa with a view when you stay at Alara 1. Villa Alara 1 has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, and is set in the olive groves of Kordere, with panoramic Mediterranean Sea views of the tourist hot spot of Kalkan, the original old town, and working harbour. This single storey west-facing villa has the added value extra of stunning sunsets, and can comfortably accommodate up to six guests, fabulous for family or friends’ sharing.
The villa is beautifully furnished with local woods, neutral colours, with highlights of Turquoise Coast blues. The contemporary living area is open plan, and flooded with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning sea views. The seating area has two large comfy elephant grey sofas and a contrasting electric blue armchair, coffee table, and a flat screen television. The adjacent dining area has a modern six-seater table and chairs, perfect for indoor entertaining. A well-equipped natural wood and black marble kitchen has a four-ring hob and oven, a family-size fridge-freezer, a dishwasher, and that all important coffee maker. On the same floor there are three ensuite double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size fret work wooden bed, wardrobes, bedside tables, and a plush armchair. There is an inviting jacuzzi within the master bedroom, and an en-suite marble bathroom with walk-in shower, single handbasin, and WC. The second bedroom has a double carved wooden bed, vanity unit, wardrobes, an armchair and table and an en-suite marble walk-in shower room. Both of these bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling windows giving direct access onto the pool terrace, perfect for an early morning refreshing swim. The third bedroom is a twin room with two wooden single beds, wardrobes and vanity unit and an en-suite shower room.
Step out of the living area onto a tiled terrace, where there is a wonderful infinity swimming pool, with an easy entry roman steps shallow end, and a Jacuzzi for some fun in the sun cocktail time. The pool is surrounded by six cushioned sun loungers, and a relaxing seating area, just the place for morning coffee or evening drinks watching the sun set over the yard arm. The terrace is also home to a six-seater dining table and chairs with a barbeque, perfect for some alfresco entertaining under the stars. And for those who like something soft underfoot there’s a small lawned garden too. Villa Alara 3 is set in a group of three villas elevated in the green hills of Kordere overlooking the exclusive town of Kalkan. 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. 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.
