Villa Ayaz Turkey

Live like a local in a traditional style Turkish stone cottage with all the mod cons when you stay in Villa Ayaz. This three bedroom, three bathroom, two storey detached villa can comfortably accommodate up to six guests. Situated in the hills above the exclusive holiday destination of Kalkan, the villa benefits from stunning panoramic Mediterranean Sea views over the old town and harbour.
The villa is set in its own lawned garden and built with local natural stone and materials, has unpolished floors, and is decorated throughout with complementary neutral colours and hues of blues with tangerine orange highlights. Complimentary Wi-Fi and air-conditioning is included throughout.Enter the villa on the ground floor where you will find a large open plan living space. The seating area has a classic three-seater sofa and two comfortable armchairs, coffee and side tables, an open fire for those chillier evenings, and a flat screen television with English speaking news channels. An adjacent dining area has a designer table and chairs where you can entertain your guests. The well-equipped kitchen has a hob, fridge-freezer and dishwasher, and a machine to make your must-have morning coffee. On the ground floor there is a twin bedroom with two single beds, an ensuite marble shower room, and access to the pool terrace through floor to ceiling sliding glass doors.
Take the open wooden staircase to the first floor where you will find two further bedrooms.The master bedroom is furnished with a king size bed, and has a frosted partition jacuzzi bathroom, with single stone handbasin, walk-in shower, and WC. This bedroom has a beautifully furnished natural wood balcony with a magnificent vista over the town of Kalkan and as far as the eye can see Mediterranean Sea. On the same floor a large second bedroom also has a king size bed, ensuite shower room, and its own balcony with sweeping views. The tiled terrace is home to an 8m x 4.5m infinity swimming pool with easy entry Roman steps, and a jacuzzi corner. The pool is surrounded by cushioned sunbeds and parasols, and comfortable seating area to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or sip cocktails and watch the glorious sun sets. For something softer underfoot, the grass lawn has a bench seat and coffee table sited under an olive tree, and if you are there in season one might just drop into your gin and tonic.
Make sure you go to the Thursday market, then cook up a feast of fresh local food on the terrace barbeque, where you can eat alfresco under the stars at the six-seater natural wood dining table.
Villa Ayaz is nestled in the hills and olive groves 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.
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.
