A luxurious double bathtub sits pride of place in the ensuite bathroom.

On the roof, there is a fantastic mini-golf course – it really is a honeymoon suite with a difference!Perfectly placed on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, the charming town of Kalkan is ideal for a romantic getaway. The villa is set at the top of Kalkan in the small hamlet of Akbel. From soaring mountains to glittering coastline, architecture steeped in history and tasty local cuisine, there’s so much to explore and enjoy. With roots as a humble fishing village, the area of Kalkan is now popular with holidaymakers and expats alike.
Kalkan has a superb Blue Flag beach with white pebbles that is conveniently located close to the villa. With calm, crystalline waters, it’s perfect for swimming and snorkelling among exotic fish. The beach is a prime spot for the area’s breathtaking orange sunsets, where you can watch the silhouettes of the yachts and traditional ‘gulet’ boats returning to the harbour.
Akbel boasts a handful of local shops and simple eateries. There is a small local market every Sunday, don’t miss the fish stall with a great selection of local catch.
For nature lovers, visit tranquil Putara beach. Part of a nearby National Park, this beach is home to sea turtles and many species of bird. Lots of nature conservation occurs in this area and this beach is one of the most prolific areas for baby sea turtle hatching. Don’t miss the Green Lake, nestled high in the Taurus mountains. Home to semi-nomads who welcome visitors, this glacial lake is emerald green and crystal clear. Legend says the water has healing powers, as does the fountain nearby. Locals make pilgrimages to this fountain to drink from its holy water.
In terms of history and culture, the Lycian ruins are majestic and feature unusual funerary architecture. Tios is the home of the ruins of many empires including the Ottomans. According to ancient mythology, the inaccessible cliff face features a large tomb that was once the home of Pegasus, the winged horse in Greek myths.
A trip to a Turkish hammam is a perfect way to get acquainted with the invigorating, traditional style of bathing. Bathers are given an exfoliating full body scrub, a relaxing oil massage and are then washed clean with hot water. Steam swirls around the spa and helps to de-stress and calm guests.
Turkish hospitality is warm and inviting, and one of the best ways to experience it is through the food. Pide is a stonebaked pizza-style flatbread, topped with ground meat, spinach and cheese, meat or vegetables. It comes in a distinctive oval shape. Another dish to try is Kumpir, baked potatoes stuffed with a mixture of cheese, sausage, pickles and often, Russian salad. Look out for Kofte meatballs, served in a wrap or with rice and salad – and there are 40 kinds of street kebab in Turkey – see how many you can try!At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
