Amenities/Facilities provided

Accessibility
This apartment would not be suitable for wheelchair users as there are four steps leading to the front door, and a flight of steps from the private terrace to the pool.

Outside
Set in a walled, Mediterranean garden, with shade provided by palm, olive and banana trees, the swimming pool, which is over 70 feet long, has a large area which is undercover, so even during the hottest part of the day, there is no fear of sunburn whilst swimming.
Poolside loungers are provided and there are loungers and an umbrella on the private terrace. A small barbecue on the terrace gives the opportunity for outdoor dining, and an outdoor table and chairs are provided.

Coast/Beach
Less than 10 minutes walk to the local beach with umbrellas, sunbeds and several small cafes. There are also a number of local beach clubs with excellent facilities, including a wide range of water sports. Each beach club either provides a free pick up service from the apartment or offers a free water taxi service from the harbour. 20 minutes by minibus to Patra beach - 15 kms of totally unspoilt, golden sand, home of the nesting turtles, where sunbeds and umbrellas can be hired for the day.

Special interest holidays
A three day Turkish cookery course can be arranged at a cost of £75 per person.

Travel
Approximately one hour 40 minutes by car from Dalaman Airport, airport transfers can be arranged. Antalya airport is approximately a three hour drive.
Because of the location of the apartment, in the heart of all amenities, car hire is not required but should you wish to hire a car to explore the region, there is ample free parking at the apartment and in the village.

Distances
Kalkan is situated at the foot of the Taurus mountain range and there are several Ottoman towns and villages in the mountains, particularly Elmali, which has well preserved traditional wooden houses. This is about 80 kms from Kalkan, a drive through the mountains of an hour and a half.
40 kilometres from Kalkan, along the coast, is the village of Kaya, where the Louis de Berniers novel, 'Birds Without Wings' was set. The village is now deserted, but there are several small restaurants.

Further details
The winding streets of Kalkan offer the visitor a wealth of attractions. There are over 150 restaurants, to suit every taste, and pocket. Sit at one of the harbourside bars or cafes, watching the sun go down as you plan where to go for dinner. Browse in the local shops selling everything from silverware and carpets to 'designer' handbags and very well priced jewellery.
For the adventurous, try the wide range of watersports available or book a day on a diving course, there are several PADI dive centres in the village. To totally relax, have a day at sea on a gulet, swimming, snorkelling and getting away from it all.
The apartment is very close to a well stocked local supermarket, which sells everything you could possibly need. There is a butcher - for those barbecues, less than 5 minutes walk and a bank with a 24 hour ATM three minutes away.
Every Thursday Kakan has a local market with a wide range of goods from holiday souvenirs to fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, cheeses and olive oils brought down from the mountain villages. Taste the locally produced olive oil and you will never want to buy the commercial variety again or try the local olives, dozens of varieties.
Several tour companies in the village offer a range of day trips, group sizes are kept small and the trips give you the chance to go much further afield without hiring a car. In particular we recommend Saklikent Gorge and Tlos, a magnificent mountain gorge with ice cold water running through, and very well preserved historical site with ruins from Greek, Roman and Byzantine times and the one day trip to Kekova, a sunken city, incredibly well preserved.
For the very active, Kalkan is on the Lycian Way, described by the Sunday Times as one of the 10 best walks in the world. There are a number of clearly signposted walks, from three to six hours and of varying degrees of difficulty originating in the village. Maps and the Lycian Way guidebook are provided in the apartment.

We had a wonderful time in your apartment, it was so quiet and relaxing but so close to the heart of everything. We loved the pool and could hardly drag ourselves out of it. Sue and Vanessa (UK) June 2007
