Villa Saray
About the home
Villa Saray is a luxury 3 bedroom 3 bathroomed villa perched high on the hillside of Kalamar Bay. Its location ensures stunning views of the bay and surrounding mountain areas. All of the double glazed doors and windows have anti-mosquito screens to aid your comfort. Although the Council's policy of spraying is vastly reducing their numbers and they hope to eradicate them completely. All 3 large en suite bedrooms have stunning sea views and large sea facing balconies with ample shade, seating and tables. The master suite has a strong box fitted for your valuables security, and your peace of mind. Nothing has been left to chance in Villa Saray and your needs are more than catered for. ***In 2011 we added another water storage tank giving us a total of 3 tonnes of stored water in case of water cuts we are monitoring the situation and can add another tank if we feel it necessary***
***During the building season of 2011 (winter), we will be raising the roof on the top floor bedroom although the roof will still be sloping, it will be at least 2 foot higher than its present lowest point***
Swim in the private infinity pool or lounge on a wooden sunbed with plump mattress on the large, sun all day terrace all, with amazing views. We are sure you will not be dissapointed with Villa Saray.
The beach clubs and swimming platforms of Kalamar Beach Club and the Kulube Hotel are a short walk downhill. Here you can swim in the crystal clear and warm waters of the Mediterranean.
Upon arrival at villa Saray, you will be greeted by our English speaking, Kalkan living manager named Kazim Oguz. Kazim will be only too pleased to answer any questions or queries that you might have thus enabling you to relax and start your holiday immediately. Kazim also has his own Home Cooking business so you may want to have him to cook for you at some point throughout your stay
Please note, At the end of September we heat the pool via a solar loop. This is dependant upon the hours of sunshine and no guarantee is given to the temperature of the water.

Photos
The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region


The Turquoise Coast/ Lycian region of Turkey seems to have it all. Beautiful clear water, which really is turquoise! Endless soft sandy beaches and reminders of a bygone age with a plethora of amphitheatres, mausoleums and ancient cities.
As if that was not enough, you have the Lycian Way which is a 509 km way-marked footpath running from Fethiye to Antalya which snakes around the coast and mountains offering spectacular views. Little wonder so many walkers love this part of Turkey. Most people come to Kalkan for the sunshine, but this area makes a wonderful winter break as well due to the warm days, spring flowers that abound and the still warm sea. The days are warm enough to wear a tee shirt and also sunbathe, although the evenings can be a little cool.
The Kalkan / Kalamar Bay area
Kalkan is a beautiful old trading port nestled in between the Taurus mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. Due to its distance from the airport, it has thankfully escaped much of the mass tourism of other areas within Turkey.
The narrow, cobbled streets and alleyways of Old Kalkan house many little shops, galleries and boutiques, their walls covered with an abundance of multi-coloured bougainvillia. All streets lead down to the pretty harbour where fishing boats and gullets bob about in the brilliant sunshine. These traditional wooden sail boats leave harbour each day transporting holidaymakers to the outlying islands and secluded bays where you can swim,sunbath or just listen to the ocean gently lapping the boat, followed by a simpleTurkish meal on board. A day out not to be missed.
By day Kalkan is a sleepy village, as people relax by their pools, relax on Kalkan Town beach, or catch a free water taxi from the harbour to a beach platform/beach club or explore the surrounding areas. By night Kalkan comes alive as the restaurants, with their twinkling lights and beautiful roof top terraces temp you with their menus!
If you tire of sitting by your own pool why not walk to the Kalamar Bay Beach Club just 5 minutes away. Here you will find sunbeds, parasols free internet access and the Kalkan Dive Centre should you want to try scuba diving. There is also water skiing, jet ski banana etc,The Beach Club has a restaurant overlooking the bay which is also open in the evening.
There are numerous taxi's and also a local mini bus runs regularly from the harbour of Kalkan to Kalamar Bay.

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday to Kalkan. The villa is great with everything you need in a villa holiday. The area is quiet and very beautiful with lovely views. Kalkan itself is a great resort with many very good restaurants and wonderful food of a very high standard. We can recommend a boat trip with Ali on the boat called Zeus that you book in Kalkan harbour. We will certainly come back!! |

Very nice villa with everything you need for your holiday in quiet area. Cleaner, gardener/poolman and manager-Kazim are all really welcoming. Kalkan is a really great resort with many very good restaurants,with great food and good service. We visited all the beach clubs. Wonderful that you can get a free ride to and from Kalamar Beach club. Supermarkets are fairly limited but it is great that they all deliver for free. We used the Define Tour company for the day trip to the sunken city and the canoeing down the Xanthos river. Both were well organised and really good value for money, though you can haggle the price down! You really do not need to hire a car the taxis are really cheap. We would all return to Kalkan and I can't think of anything about the holiday that could have been improved. If you have teenagers who like the night life they might find it a bit tame in Kalkan. |
