Kalkan is quite magical and widely regarded as one of the most sophisticated and picturesque coastal resorts in Turkey. It is renowned for its combination of wonderfully cosmopolitan and traditional restaurants - which now number in excess of 100! Enchanting little shops, open until late into the summer evenings and bars dotted along the pretty harbour-front and cobbled back streets will guarantee you a truly memorable stay. Kalkan is very proud of its distinctive Ottoman Greek architecture. In the evening when the town truly comes alive the cobbled back streets become the domain of the pedestrians and so are incredibly safe. The people are warm, friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Most of Kalkan’s restaurants are either situated on roof terraces or around the beautiful harbour allowing you to enjoy awesome night views as you delight in the excellent high standard of food served throughout. The extensive menus offer first class food at exceptional value. The town has several supermarkets, a doctors’ surgery, dentist, pharmacy and a small hospital. Several luxury hotels have spas where you can 'enjoy' a Turkish bath. There are several banks, cash machines and a post office. Currency is also offered at very competitive exchange rates in various shops in town. The currency is the Turkish Lira but pounds sterling are readily accepted. Taxis from the airport are usually paid for in pounds. There is a weekly local market. You can find almost anything in Kalkan, from carpets to Turkish Delight and the traditional blue-coloured glass 'evil eye' for warding off evil spirits. Gold and silver jewellery is a great buy as it is sold by its weight. Intricately-decorated ceramics, hand-blown glass, hand-carved Meerschaum pipes, backgammon sets inlaid with mother-of-pearl, high quality leather goods (for excellent prices), beautiful Turkish kilims (hand-woven rugs) and carpets (traditional knotted rugs are just some of the items on offer.
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We bought Patio Apartment 4 in October 2011 from the previous owners John and Clare after seeing it in the August 2011 and being completely blown away. We’ve stayed in various locations around Kalkan over the years but without doubt the apartment has the 'wow' factor and we would challenge you not to be bowled over by the spectacular views from the apartment across the bay, which are, in our opinion unsurpassed. John and Clare had great success in renting out the apartment when they owned it, so whilst we intend to use the apartment regularly ourselves each year we are delighted to share the experience. Kalkan has an enchanting ambiance that will slowly but surely seduce you into the Turkish way of life.
Unique benefits of the property
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms) - Absolutely breathtaking sea views from all rooms! This spacious, deluxe two bedroom duplex apartment is set in a superb location on the hillside overlooking the Old Town of Kalkan with stunning panoramic views of Kalkan Bay and the islands. The enchanting town with its cobbled back streets and very picturesque harbour is only a 10 minute downhill walk, so whilst the apartment is in a wonderfully tranquil location it is close to all amenities. The apartment occupies the 2nd and top floor and is one of only four luxury apartments sharing the infinity pool, the beautifully landscaped gardens and delightful pergola seating area to the side. The apartment is cleaned on a weekly basis. A caretaker is on site 24 hours a day to meet/greet and to provide assistance.
