Villa Kadir Turkey
Holiday Home Rental Description
Enjoy a holiday in a traditional style Turkish stone cottage with all the mod cons when you stay in Villa Kadir. 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 sea views over the old town and working harbour. The villa is built with natural local stone, and is decorated sympathetically throughout with cool terracotta and turquoise highlights to reflect and compliment the colour of the pool and sea. 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, and a flat screen television with English speaking news channels. An adjacent dining area has a designer table and chairs where you can entertain up to six 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 double bedroom with a king size bed, and an ensuite marble shower room. Off this bedroom through floor to ceiling sliding glass doors is a large 6m x 3.3m heated plunge pool, perfect for an early morning dip. The second bedroom can also be found on the ground floor, a twin room with two single beds, traditionally decorated in natural wood and hues of blues, it has an ensuite marble shower room, and sliding glass door access to the pool terrace. There is also a very convenient utility room with a washing machine and guest WC.
The marble paved terrace is home to a 3.5m x 13m infinity swimming pool with a shallow end, and easy entry Roman steps, as well as a jacuzzi corner. The pool is set to one side for extra privacy and is surrounded by six cushioned sun loungers, with parasols for shade. The terrace has a clear glass surround with a comfortable seating area, the best viewing spot to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or sip cocktails and watch the glorious sun sets. 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 pergola covered dining table. Climb the open staircase to the master bedroom, which is located on the first floor of the villa, furnished with a king size bed, an in-room jacuzzi bath, and a frosted glass shower room with stone hand basin and WC. Step out onto a spacious glass-fronted furnished balcony where you can sit and enjoy the magnificent Mediterranean Sea views.
Villa Kadir 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.
