It's magnificent scenery with it's lakes, woods and forests, it's stunning coast line and superb ruins of two dozen cities make Lycia a place to explore and enjoy.Lycia's coast line runs for several hundred kilometres, borders the Mediterranean and attracts yachtsmen to the crystal clear waters and near perfect climate. The many islands, coves and beautiful beaches such as Patara, one of the top ten in the world ( Sunday Times 2005) and Kaputus, within 15 minutes of Kalkan and Olu Deniz, 45 minutes away, add to Lycia 's unique historic and scenic appeal to visitors.

Guestbook
Quite simply the most beautiful villa we have ever stayed in, and the views! wow! Unforgettable evenings spent on the roof terraces of Daphne's and Ibo's restaurant and lunch at the Aubergine, right by the harbour. I can't end without saying how fabulous Ayse, Mesut and Huzur have been. Nothing, and I mean nothing has been too much trouble. We will be back’- Gareth Williams and Family (October 2006).
‘I had originally booked this villa for 1 week, but as our other villa in Kalkan was so far away from town on an unfinished road, we came here a few days earlier, and I am so happy we did! We love the villa and have enjoyed the fabulous location making it so easy to eat out, go to the beach, shop etc. Mesut and Ayse are awesome, we want to take them home. Huzur has been so helpful and amazing too, he was always on hand and even brought us a masseur around one day; what bliss to lie by the pool having a massage. We were really impressed by the quality of the restaurants’ Trudy Bellinger and Family August 2006
"The villa is wonderful, and the view from the bedrooms is beautiful. A very good choice of location."
Paul and Sue Pateman and Family (August 2006).
Hi Martin
We all had a fantastic time staying at your villa, what a wonderful place! Kalkan must be one of those secret places which has not yet be too commercialised, lets hope that it stays that way.
In fact, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we would like to enquire about staying at the villa again next year, probably around about the same time of year, I hope that the villa is available, please let me know.
Philip Henley and family. May 2007
