French windows from the living area open directly onto the covered terrace and comfortable seating area for 6 together with a marble dining table seating 4 – perfect for late night suppers for parents! The private pool area has a separate shower, comfortable sun beds, umbrellas and an assortment of colourful bougainvillea and other native plants and is separated from its neighbours by traditional stone walls with alcove lighting. Here, you can relax in privacy, read, swim and enjoy panoramic views of the mountains (the occasional goat herd!) and uninterrupted views of Kalamar bay. Pool dimensions: length: 7.3metres width: 3.7metres depth: 1.4metres.
Coast/Beach
A five minute stroll will take you to Kalamar Beach Club where there are sun beds, a restaurant, internet access, and a variety of water sports available. In Kalkan there is
a small, pretty pebble beach with sun beds and umbrellas. There are a wide variety of restaurants close to the beach for a relaxing lunch. Kaputas beach (sandy) is a 10 minute drive/taxi ride away and Patara Beach (12 miles of sand!) with its own archaeological site, is just a 20minute drive. A wonderful picnic spot.
Travel
Dalaman airport, the nearest, is about 1.5 hours drive away. There are plenty of charter flights available and the airport is now open all year round. Given notice, we can arrange transfers. It’s not essential to hire a car. Local transport is good, with taxis and buses (Dolmus) easily available and cheap. However, there are no shops in Kalamar and with the private parking spaces available, a car would give you complete freedom to explore the region as and when you want.
Distances
Kalkan is about 1.5km away. It takes 5 minutes by taxi or a 20-25 minute walk. The drive to Kas, the neighbouring village, takes about 25 minutes along a beautiful coastline. There is a market there on Fridays and one in Fethiye on Tuesdays (approx 1 hour drive). Apart from the many historical sites, there are innumerable places to visit – local villages, beaches, mountain walks, local trout farms with restaurants (10 minute drive) and much more, all close to Kalkan.
Further details
Kalkan started life as a small fishing village. The word means “turbot”! It has managed to combine a traditional feel, with narrow streets, white-washed houses, and an abundance of colour, with all the necessary amenities. It has supermarkets (most offer a delivery service), a post office, banks with ATM machines, a medical centre, chemists, dentist, internet cafes, together with a wide assortment of shops selling everything from Turkish rugs, traditional clothes, jewellery, souvenirs etc, to modern boutiques and leather shops. There is a market every Thursday which is well worth a visit. It sells all sorts of local produce, teas, spices, pottery and even ‘designer’ clothes and watches (perhaps of dubious origin!).
One of the most enjoyable things to do is to charter one of the boats in the harbour and enjoy a day cruising round the bay, swimming off the boat and sampling a delicious lunch on board.
If you are not hiring a car, local agents can arrange trips to the many archaeological sites including Kekova, Saklikent Gorge, Xanthos, Letoon, and many more, all close to Kalkan.
Perhaps Kalkan is most famous for its restaurants; from the simple to the sophisticated. You could dine out every night and not go to the same restaurant twice. It caters for all tastes from traditional Turkish, to International cuisine; many restaurants with roof terraces overlooking Kalkan bay. The village really comes into its own at night and for those who enjoy a night life, there are many bars and discos. Nearly all establishments have English speaking staff.

Guest comments
We had a fabulous time staying at Villa Helena. The villa and views are really something special. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday and would probably say that it is one of the best villas we have stayed in for the views and privacy. (Nina Sinclair, 2008.)
