Number Two Komurluk Apartments (apartment)

Home description

Number Two Komurluk Apartments features contemporary, spacious and luxurious living space spread over two floors, ensuring fabulous uninterrupted town and sea views from every room. Upstairs there are two spacious bedrooms (both with superb seaviews), the master with a kingsize bed and a twin room with two single beds. Both have en suite bathrooms. Downstairs there is a further WC/utility room and a large open plan kitchen/dining area adjacent to a comfortable lounge.

All rooms lead to a South-West facing balcony or terrace, perfect for viewing the colourful Turkish sunsets. The lower floor has a private terrace where you can sunbathe, dine or simply relax and watch the elegant gulets glide in and out of the harbour.

The Komurluk Apartments are all privately owned, individually designed and set into the cliffside with a shared pool area overlooking the bay. The complex was originally designed as a boutique hotel before being converted into nine spacious, luxury apartments featuring antique marble flooring and granite work surfaces.

The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region

History - The Turquoise Coast around Kalkan is steeped in history with old Lycian rock tombs, Roman amphitheatres and a sunken city for the discerning historian to explore. Various guide books are available in the apartment as well as a copy of 'The Lycian Way' by Kate Clow which features maps of rural walks around the old Lycian coastline. Must see places include Tlos, Sakklikent Gorge, Kekova (sunken city), Kale (ancient Fort), Pinar and the ruins and amphitheatres at Patara, Letoon and Xanthos. Patara is the birth place of Santa Claus and is currently undergoing excavation work to uncover its well preserved ruins underneath the sand.

Beaches - Kalkan is situated between two of the best beaches in Turkey. Kaputas, the second most photographed with its crystal clear emerald water and white sand (10 minute local bus ride), and Patara (30 minute bus ride) is a natural conservation beach where endangered Loggerhead turtles come to lay their eggs.

Scenery - The Turquoise coastline boasts spectacular views of the Mediterranean sea against the beautiful backdrop of the Taurus mountains. As you travel around it is hard not to notice the abundance of olive and pine trees, pomegranate, eucalyptus and cotton. Ancient Lycian tombs are randomly carved into the cliffs and tortoises roam freely. The most spectacular stretch of coastline is between Kalkan and Kas, and the stunning Sakklikent Gorge is nearby with its natural beauty and refreshing mountain water.

Shopping - Fethiye (1 hour by road) has a large market every Tuesday, Kalkan on a Thursday and Kas (30 minutes by road) every Friday. The nearby town of Kas has a relaxed bohemian feel to it and is definitely worth a trip.

Watersports - A full range of water sports, snorkelling, diving and kayaking can be found in and around Kalkan.

Boat Trips - Daily boat trips can be booked each morning from Kalkan or Kas harbour. Longer Gulet tours can be booked through a local travel agent.

Kalkan / Walking distance to town centre area

Kalkan is a hidden gem in the ancient region of Lycia on the South-West coast of Turkey, known as the Turquoise Coast. It is a charming, sophisticated bougainvillea covered fishing village with traditional Ottoman-style houses nestling in a breathtaking landscape between the Taurus mountains and the azure sea. Once a Greek fishing village called Kalamaki, it maintains its charm to this day with rows of cobbled streets that meander down through the whitewashed Ottoman style buildings to the harbour.

By day you can explore the quaint gift shops and galleries of the old town, have a Turkish bath or massage, take a boat trip from the harbour or have lunch in one of the many eateries which provide excellent fresh and locally produced cuisine. There is a small white pebble beach as well as a number of stylish beach clubs which are accessed by boat or free taxi service. If you prefer to escape the heat of the day, a taxi ride to the cooler mountain village of Islamlar is recommended to explore or have lunch at one of the freshwater trout farms.

At night Kalkan comes to life with shops, bars and the sounds of live jazz or Turkish music playing from candle-lit roof terrace restaurants that look out across the glowing white dome of the mosque and the harbour. Most hotels host traditional Turkish nights (open to non-residents) with belly dancing shows and buffet or barbecued food.

Komurluk, one of the best locations in Kalkan is an exclusive area affording spectacular views of the sea, ‘mouse’ and ‘snake’ islands, the old town and the picturesque harbour. Komurluk has its own chic beach club set into the cliffs below the apartment where you can sunbathe, swim, dine or relax in the bar. Komurluk is a peaceful area, yet only a ten to fifteen minute walk to the centre of town where you can find shops, restaurants, the harbour, local beach, bus station and transport to other beach clubs.

Guestbook

"Having been on holiday to Turkey many times in the past we can honestly say that this one was the best. Kalkan is a beautiful place and Number Two Komurluk Apartments is without doubt one of the prime locations in the area, the apartment itself was superb in every way. The furnishings, the fittings, the decor, the layout, in fact the lot. The only problem was that at the end of two weeks we had to come home! If we choose to holiday in Turkey again we wouldn't dream of looking anywhere else".
Stephen and Frances (Birmingham) October 2007.
