The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region

At the southwest corner of the Turkish coast lies one of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas of the Mediterranean, probably the best kept secret holiday destination in Turkey. The Lycian coast of Turkey is aptly named the Turquoise coast with exquisite, clear blue sea water. Although the Kalkan coast is dramatic and rocky, Patara beach, voted by The Sunday Times as one of the most beautiful and unspoilt beaches in the Mediterranean, has 18 km of white sand and is approx a 15 mins drive away. Patara beach is close to the ruins of the ancient harbour city of Patara and is part of a national park, protecting the endangered sea turtle.

Kaputas is a beautiful small sandy beach approx 5 mins drive away, also accessible by boat from Kalkan. Kalkan's climate is considered to be the best in Turkey with 300 days sunshine every year and very low humidity. The stretch between Kalkan and Kas is breathtakingly beautiful with fantastic views of its unspoilt archipelago.

Kas, a 30 minute drive away from Kalkan is worth a visit just for the journey alone! The road clings to the
edge of the coastal road providing spectacular views out to sea. Kas was built on the ancient site of Amtiphellos
and ruins can still be seen scattered around the town. A small well preserved Hellenistic amphitheatre
still remains just along from the harbour. This attractive harbour town is more cosmopolitan than Kalkan and has many shops,restaurants and bars. Just off the coast is the small Greek island of Kastelorizo ( Meis in Turkish) which can be reached by boat from Kas every day, a very nice day trip!

Kalkan is on the route of the Lycian Way, which offers walkers stunning scenery and many archaelogical sites on its route. Good periods to walk the Lycian way are February to mid March, April to mid June, September to mid November.Read more about the Lycian Way on www.lycianway.com If you want to arrange for a walking holiday with Kalkan as your base, check out www.abitravel.net

There are many ancient sites within easy reach of Kalkan including Xanthos, Pinara, Tlos and Patara. Further afield are the well known sites of Kekova, Myra, Kale, Phaselis, Olympus and Ephesus. A good site to read more about historical Lycia is www.lycianturkey.com.

Travel by boat from Kas to the ancient city of Kekova, “the sunken city”, where as a result of 4th century
earthquakes the mostly submerged remains can be seen through the crystal clear waters. Then cross the
bay to the beautiful traditional village of Kale with its imposing crusader castle surveying the area.

Driving up into the mountains behind Kalkan and travelling throught stunning scenery, you will come across
a fertile plain that was once a prehistoric lake. Amongst the fields and orchards is the village of Bezirgan where
you will find the real Turkey along with several Lycian rock tombs. Islamlar is also a lovely drive not far
up the mountain from Kalkan and is famous for its trout farms with restaurants. Saklikent Gorge with its rush of icy water is the largest gorge in Turkey and is at easy reach from Kalkan.

Fethiye is at easy reach, one hour drive from Kalkan. In Fethiye you can do shopping at low prices!

Skiing in Lycia is now an opportunity as Eren Mountain Skiing Centre opened in February 2011! The new skiing centre is located approx. 1.5 hour drive from Kalkan, approx 1 hour from Fethiye. The skiing season is from Dcember to May, snow permitting. The best period is assumed to be February to March. read more and view pictures on http://kalkan.turkishlocalnews.com/portal/kalkan-news/124587-come-to-kalkan-for-a-skiing-holiday-a-ktln-photo-special.


Ölu Deniz has a stunning beach and lagoon which you will always see in Turkish brochures. It has a lovely
traffic free promenade lined with cafe/bars, shops and is still popular with backpackers coming for the
paragliding. For the experience of a lifetime try a paragliding jump in tandem with a qualified instructor. As
you leave the 2000 metre high mountain you will find yourself soaring above the bay taking in the breathtaking
view of the lagoon before gently gliding down to the beach.

Combine your stay in Kalkan with a "Blue voyage", a cruise on a gulet. Read more on www.abitravel.net
Or combine Kalkan with a stay in Dalyan, the city of the sea turtle "caretta caretta" in order to see more of the area!

The Kalkan / Komurluk area

The enchanting historic town of Kalkan was once a small fishing village. Today it still retains its charm in spite of increasing sophistication due to its popularity with international visitors. The winding, cobbled streets teem with life at night to the accompanyment of jazz and blues music wafting from bars and restaurants.

Kalkan boasts more than a hundred fine restaurants , many set at roof top level, offering excellent Turkish and European cuisine at reasonable prices. There are several good quality food shops including supermarkets, boutiques selling everything from jewellery to pashminas, and all essential daily needs are well catered for.
On Thursdays, there is a local market in Kalkan.

As you wind down the alleyways you come across the glorious harbour where beautiful traditional gulets and
luxury yachts moor up for the evening. Diving, fishing, scuba diving,snorkling, water skiing, caneoing can all
be booked from the harbour. You can sole charter a gulet which will take you to secluded bays which
are inaccessible by road. There are daily boat trips going out in the morning and back in the afternoon, one of these trips goes around the Kalkan bay area and the islands in the bay. There is a fine, children friendly, pebbled beach in Kalkan.

The prestigeous Kömurluk area is located a 10 minute stroll from the Old Town. The area, nestled in an olive grove has the most spectacular views of Kalkan bay, the islands and the harbour. There is a beach club, Palm Beach Club, providing boat taxi services, a restaurant and a bar as well as sunbathing facilities

The wonderful friendliness, warmth and hospitality of the peole in Kalkan, together with the incredible beauty of this unspoilt area of Turkey, are probably the main reasons why visitors that have once come to known Kalkan tend to come back, year after year!

Guestbook for Villa Gemma Lycia

"Villa Gemma Lycia is all you need for a wonderful relaxing holiday. It is situated in a quiet area of Kalkan but within walking distance of the village centre. The villa is set into the hillside with wonderful views across the bay. The interior is very stylish and fitted to a very high standard. The infinity pool is very large and the patio and ottoman area is ideal for evening drinks whilst watching the sun go down. There is also a built in barbeque if you fancy a night in. Ali who helps look after the villa, is extremely attentive; he will supply you with frest water and freshly baked bread every morning. I would have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation to family and friends and we will definitely be going as we have already booked a new week in September!" (Sandy Measor & family,

"None of our group had ever visited Kalkan before and we had no idea what to expect but we absolutely loved it and will definitely be returning. The walk to Kalkan was lovely with great views to the sea and not too far at all. We spent some nights eating in the villa and others in Kalkan but every night was great. However our fantastic holiday was largely down to your beautiful villa, which you should be very proud of. Thank you again and we look forward to coming back very soon." Sarah Taylor and a group of 11 persons.

"Your villa is outstanding and a beautiful place to relax and enjoy! We all had a marvellous time!
We are all very interested in going again next year, but see from your calander it is getting very booked up!"
Caroline Stephenson with family and friends.

"Your holiday home was absolutely fantastic! Definitely one of our favourites after many years of family villa holidays. The views and terraces were really special. Everything about the house was to the highest standard and the attention to detail which has gone into making it meet every possible requirement was second to none. The furnishings, lighting and remote control air conditioning were all perfect. We had a really special family holiday which all of us will remember for a long time. It's 20 years since we visited Kalkan and we were concerned in case it had become spoilt. We needn't have worried. Although it's obviously grown it still retains the feel that drew us to it all those years ago. You've very lucky to have such a lovely home and to have found such a fabulous architect and builder who made the most of the sensational location. The infinity pool was our favourite spot along with the top floor terrace as the sun went down. Ali and his team did a fantastically attentive job. You must be very happy to leave the place in such safe hands.
The only bad thing about the holiday is that halfway through the holiday we decided we wanted to come back next year and went on your website to see that the final week in October 2010 was already booked! If that situation changes please let us know! We've already booked our summer 2009 holiday otherwise we'd have been back. Let us know when you're taking bookings for 2011." Paula Byrne with a large family.

"We thoroughly enjoyed Kalkan and were very impressed with villa Gemma Lycia. The staff are great and we found the locals very friendly indeed. So much so that we would like to rebook for next year but see that many of the dates have already been booked " The Dawson family,

"We were absolutely blown away with Villa Gemma Lycia, the facilities in the villa are outstanding, and we have enjoyed many nights around the BBQ. The pool area is fabulous, and we are also impressed by the high service level of Ali and his team." The Rooth family with friends.

"Firstly, what a wonderful villa!!!. We all had a fantastic time in Turkey and all agreed we would like to return, Kalkan is a vibrant and friedly place with all welcoming us. Ali, what a lovely man, he and his team should be congratulated! They worked so hard to make our time at the villa special. We as a group have been to a number of villas, but all agreed this is the best ever villa, we will not go on another villa holiday ever´again, because we
will not be able to best your villa!!!" The Armstrong family with friends.

"The Villa & Kalkan far exceeded our expectations, both absolutely stunning, we did not want to come home, and will definitely be looking to return in the future as well as recommending family & friends. Your service throughout has been second to none & everything ran so smoothly there really was not anything you had not thought of we did not need to worry about anything. Ali is amazing, he never tried of answering our many questions and was always more than willing to help with anything we needed, the daily bread delivery was a god send, He & his team work very hard to make sure the guest can relax and they kept the villa & the pool immaculate at all times." Tha Maguire family
