Home description
Kilim Cottage stands in a beautiful walled garden surrounding a 185 sq metre resort-sized shared pool complete with large jacuzzi. It is in the heart of Kalkan, close to many of the restaurants and only a short walk to the pretty harbour front. There is no need to hire a car unless you want to travel further afield.
This charming holiday home has been entirely crafted and built in the traditional method using local stone. It has two lovely balconies, one featuring local timbers and the other with a bougainvillea-draped pergola. Kilim Cottage benefits from 2 separate interior staircases offering extra privacy. Very close to a well-stocked supermarket - freshly baked bread every morning. Kilim Cottage is in an ideal location and if you love everything Turkish - then this is the place for you.

The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
Backed by impressive mountains, Kalkan lies on the beautiful southern coast of Turkey between Fethiye and Antalya known as the Turquoise Coast - the sea really is that colour which makes Kalkan, with its stunning views down to the harbour front, an ideal holiday location.
Kalkan / Central Kalkan area
Winding cobbled streets, a beautiful harbour with brightly coloured boats, a photo opportunity at every corner - Kalkan has it all, and more. You can either laze by the pool all day or amble down to the harbour front and enjoy a cold drink overlooking the bay. Step aboard a gulet and cruise the coastline, stopping off to dive into the clear waters below, or catch a dolmus to visit the gloriously long sandy beach at Patara - keep an eye out for the turtles or stroll through the fascinating archaeological sites.
If shopping is the thing, Kalkan has it all. Haggle for that special holiday must-have at the market every Thursday, or wander through the town with all its colourful and unique little shops. Be it a pair of Turkish slippers or the latest Tarkan CD, a bespoke linen suit or a mouth wateringly fresh melon, you will find it all in Kalkan.
During the day, the pace is slow. As the day wanes, the many restaurants come alive. There are lots of fine restaurants to choose from, whatever your tastes. Watch the sun setting over the bay in one of the roof top terraces, or sample local fare in one of the village style bistros. Fresh fish, homemade soups and casseroles, baked aubergines, delicious sweets or wonderful flatbread pizzas. People-watch from bars and cafes and sample ice-cold Turkish beers and liqueurs. Enjoy a nightcap at the harbour front before meandering home through the narrow lanes of the old town. Kalkan stays awake as long as you can - you set the pace and the friendly locals will do all they can to ensure that you enjoy your holiday to the full.
Swim in the bay off diving platforms or from the pebbled town beach. Visit underwater tombs, picturesque mountain villages, or walk the Lycian way. The town of Kas with its many water activities is only a short bus journey away, along one of the most beautiful coastal roads we know.
Do all this, or just relax and soak up the sun. Mind, if you have been to Kalkan before, we don't need to tell you how wonderful it is. Just come back and stay in Kilim Cottage at a place that we now call home.

Guestbook for Kilim Cottage
We had a fantastic time in the cottage. It really was a very relaxing holiday and we all enjoyed the pool and gardens. The shop was so close our son went to get the bread every morning. So all in all, a great time was had. Nic & Tracy. Dubai.
The cottage is beautiful and the gardens and pool magnificent. It is so convenient for everything as well. Altogether a fantastic break and I can't imagine we would find anything better elsewhere. We will definitely go back if we can. Caroline and Nick.
We had a wonderful week at your cottage. It was like walking into a quiet oasis in the middle of the town and very near to all the amenities. The swimming pool was amazing and large enough to do some serious swimming. I could have done with a few more weeks of the exercise. It was wonderful to have the space your cottage provided and very relaxing. Thank you again. Martin & Margaret.
What a place! Pool superb, location perfect. Brilliant accommodation. Kilim Cottage No 1. Don't want to leave. John & Mary.
