The Kalkan / Kisla area
The historic town of Kalkan is an enchanting place and one of the most beautiful locations along Turkey's gorgeous Lycian Coast. With the complete absence of mass tourism, Kalkan remains a charming and unspoiled haven of lush nature, brilliant blue crystal-clear sea, historic architecture, ancient history and warm traditional Turkish hospitality. Once a simple fishing village, today’s Kalkan is quietly sophisticated and postcard pretty with a few good quality low-rise hotels and apartments and a multitude of excellent roof-top restaurants offering all manner of culinary delights together with stylish and atmospheric Blues and Jazz bars. The village shops stay open until around midnight and are well stocked with interesting antiques, crafts, jewellery, clothing and accessories. The narrow streets twist down to the harbour, which is the focus of the village and here you can enjoy a meal whilst watching the world go by or looking at the array of elegant gulets, some of which are available for private hire.
Local market day for the area is held on a Thursday. Try your hand at bartering or go along and have a laugh at the local banter. Some good quality bargains are available, and never accept the opening price.
Villa Derin is located in Kisla, offering peace and privacy in a romantic setting with breathtaking scenery. A short boat ride or a five minute drive (free shuttle) or taxi ride (a few pounds) will take you to Kalkan, a picturesque harbour town with narrow, cobbled streets. Kalkan has its own small pebble beach and in Kisla region there are 3 beaches (Kisla, Mahal, and Club Patara). Also Kaputas is a lovely sandy beach which is 5 minutes drive away and Patara beach which is the second longest in the world neighbouring Lycian ruins, is 15 minutes drive away. Kalkan is set in an area full of history with many ancient sites nearby (Letoon, Xanthos, Kekova Sunken city, etc.). A trip up to the mountains behind Kalkan will take your breath away. Villa is 30 min from Saklikent Gorge and 20 min. from Kas Town. For more information you can visit the links below.
Scuba diving is available from Kalkan harbour

We stayed at Villa Derin in June 2011. We had one of the best vacations ever. The pictures do not do justice how beautiful this villa is. When we arrived, the villa was spotless, and a nice welcome package was awaiting us. The housekeeper Isa is a wonderful, courteous, and a handy man. The villa is very spacious, four large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and a half bath at the living room level. This villa has spectacular views, especially the view of the sea from the living room level is absolutely stunning. I could have spent my whole day on the balcony just watching the view while sipping my Turkish tea. Derin is at a short distance walking to the sea and the beach club and the water is very clear, we even saw some colorful fishes during snorkeling. There is a big TV set in the living room and a DVD player and a nice selection of movies. The kitchen and dining area is quite large and more than adequate. The only thing I can add is that a microwave could have been handy to reheat our food. The swimming pool is beautiful, well-maintained, and cleaned every morning. There is a ton of places to see in the Kalkan and surrounding areas. Make sure to spend some time on Patara beach. Last but not least, I must mention the owner of Derin. I have had several pleasant email correspondences with him. I actually enjoyed communicating with him. He got back to me promptly and patiently answered my endless questions. Thank you very much. All in all, we had a FANTASTIC vacation at Derin. We definitely recommend this villa to everyone and hope to be back one day. |
Guestbook for VILLA DERIN
Thanks for a magical holiday. I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful holiday Denis and I had in your villa in Kalkan. Your villa is amazing, and it exceeded all expectations, I could never tire of those views!!!! It's great to find a place that actually really does look like it appears on your website. We loved Kalkan also, what amazing restaurants!!! I don’t think we've ever had such a relaxing and special holiday so thank you. The car hire worked out perfectly and everyone was so kind to us - in particular Bob who is just fantastic company.
Thanks again - we will be sure to recommend it to our friends and family.
Kind regards,
Sarah Barry, September 2008, Edinburgh, Scotland
Dear Seniz-Timur,
Villa Derin definitely played a major part in our wonderful Turkish holiday. We all eight of us never tired of the pool, the facilities or the spectacular view. We were made to feel incredibly welcome by everyone we met and in particular Bob from the cafe down the road, who felt like a real neighbour. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kalkan and in particular Villa Derin to any of our friends or family.
Many thanks and Gule gule,

Great Villa with superb facilities! The views are truly amazing, especially the sunset each day. Everyone encountered has been genuinly friendly and have helped to make our 2 weeks holiday here in Turkey really enjoyable. The pool is tremendous, so much that we had to literally drag teh kids out each day. Thank you for contributions to such a wonderful holiday.
Andrews family, June 2009, Warwickshire, England
"Villa Derin is extremely well appointed, infact some friends who had also rented a villa the other side of Kalkan visited and were blown away by quality of Villa Derin. The swimming pool was always immaculately maintained throughout our stay, but what really made Villa Derin for us was the spectacular and stunning views - no matter the time of day. Well having said that, night times were tremendous - sitting on the wonderfully cosy sofas on the balcony watching the sunset and soaking in the twinkling lights of Kalkan centre across the bay. Each room has its own en suite which proved to be invaluable, and the layout of the villa made for a very easy holiday. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our week, and would certainly recommend a visit."
Skinner Family, July 2009, Northamptonshire
No words can express the spectacular views from your lovely Villa. We have been to many places in Turkey but Kalkan and this Villa surpasses all of them. What more can we say we are so sad to leave, and hopefully we will return soon.
Thanks the Duncan Family, July 2009, England
Fantastic holiday, the Villa is perfect. We have all had a wonderful time. Bob and Ali are very helpful anything from arranging a birthday dinner to getting a dodgey laptop working! Trips to go on: Kekova Island-go with Abi Tours, best trip, uncrowded boat, fantastic scenery. Saklikent Gorge+river rafting, Xanthos ruins.
Thanks everyone,
Sarah, Graham, Henry, Lissie Johnson, August 2009, England
The villa is excellent and furnished to a very high standard and was the best villa we have ever rented. We really enjoyed staying in your luxury villa and don’t believe that we could have found a better villa in terms of quality and location anywhere in Turkey at any price – thank you.
Moore Family, August 2009, England
We had a fantastic holiday in Villa Derin, it was absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained.
The villa is beautifully decorated and catered to everyone's tastes.
Ali, Ebru and Bob made our stay very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
It is in a brilliant location, close enough to the main town, but far enough away that you felt really relaxed.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday, we will definitely recommend Villa Derin to friends and family.
Many thanks,
Laura, September 2009, England
Dear Timur and Family,
What a lovely place!! Everything is in place and clean. We enjoyed Kalkan and surrounding places very much and the people are very helpfull. It was a pleasantly surprise to find that Turkey and his/her people are very warm hearted.
We will definitely be back. Seeing that this is only a holiday home, we had everything we have at home and its definitely a plus.

Dear Timur and Seniz,
We have had a wonderful 2 weeks staying in this wonderful Villa which has been a terrific home from home for our 2 families. You have ensured we have everything and that eveything is tastefully provided.
As for the setting and the locals what a beautiful place and so full of beautiful people.
Browns, Walsh's, July 2010
What a fabulous holiday we have had in this beautiful villa and what a wonderful place Kalkan is. So many excellent places to eat. The beach club at the bottom of the hill is great good food, friendly staff and crystal clear sea.
Thanks and we hope to be back soon!
Julie, Michael, Cathlin, and Eleanor, July 2010
The Villa was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. We never tired of the amazing view. We all enjoyed the pool and trips. Turkey is a fantastic place and Kalkan especially. Your Villa is really home from home and has everything you need. We enjoyed eating on the balcony all together.
A most relaxing holiday.
Deb, Steve, Robson, Jayne, Glenn, Lauren, August 2010
We have had a great holiday. The location of your Villa being set in a quiet location with Bob's cafe along the road great.
The Villa is wonderful and has almost eveything we have needed. What can we say about the views other than "fantastic". It is exactly as you see in the photos on the internet.
