The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
Ancient Lycia in south western Turkey runs from Ekincik to Antalya in a semi-circle of some of the most mountainous and dramatic landscape anywhere in Turkey. The Taurus mountains rise to over ten thousand feet and the highest peaks are snow covered right into early summer. 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.
At a latitude of 36 degrees, Kalkan is one of the most southerly points of Turkey's mediterranean coast and enjoys sunny, warm days most of the year. Spring and autumn are popular times to visit with temperatures into the 70's not unusual right through to December.

The British museum also has an extensive collection of Lycian artefacts.

Guestbook for Apartment Nathalie
“LOVED IT!!”
Jonathon Nix, Sep 2009
“A very spacious apartment. Ideally situated to visit places of interest such as Patara Beach and Saklikent Gorge. Plenty of car hire and excursions avaliable. The boys loved the swimming pool-it was excellent!”
Rupert Egginton, Sep 2009
“"We love Kalkan, the apartment was very good quality for the price. May I also once again, sincerely thank you for dealing with all the issues arising out of our flight changes in such an efficient and pleasant manner. It makes such a difference receiving such a high quality of service"”
Mr David Sivewright, Jul 2009
“"We loved apartment Nathalie. It was stylish and welcoming, everything was well laid out. The DVD player was very useful for our 4 year old, and having the pool just outside the front door was her idea of heaven. Kalkan itself is exquisitely beautiful, little alleys everywhere, and like a page out of a magazine, and the sea was blue like we have not seen before. We will be back!"”
Michelle Michie, July 2009
“" Very good service from booking to arrival and return. Excellent value for money, will definitely return. Keep up the good work and excellent service, something not always available in the present climate"”
Mrs Sharon Tooke, July 2009
“"We had a lovely holiday, and were very impressed by Turkey. We had the pool to ourselves most of the time, and it was always clean and well maintained. Thank you"”
Mr Peter Thomas, July 2009
