Villa Enginar

About this property

Surrounded by olive and pine trees, the 1-bedroom Villa Enginar is located on a mountainside in the village of Islamlar, around 15 minutes’ drive from Kalkan. The ideal Turkish retreat for two, this property offers excellent facilities including an infinity pool and hot tub.

The magnificent pool terrace is one of the highlights of Villa Enginar. With a spacious 7.7m x 3.7m pool, you also have inviting dining and seating areas, a barbecue and sun loungers. This area is particularly inviting when lit at night. Even better, there is another pool inside, along with a large hot tub. This wellness area enjoys a lovely view of the pool terrace and the areas of natural beauty beyond.

Inside you have a comfortable living space with large sofas, TV and a pool table, while your kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer, gas hob and electric oven. Continuing the wellness theme, there’s even a sauna cabin. The house also offers air conditioning and free Wi-Fi.

Your bedroom area is equipped with a king-size bed and stylish en suite bathroom with rainfall shower, and enjoys direct access to the indoor pool and hot tub area. Offering privacy as well as excellent facilities, this villa makes the perfect honeymoon pad.

Villa Enginar is conveniently close to local amenities, with shops and restaurants in the village centre, just a few minutes’ drive away. Kalkan is easy to reach in around 15 minutes and has a huge variety of restaurants, as well beaches and markets to explore.

At the foot of the Taurus Mountains, the town of Kalkan retains a traditional feel. Old, whitewashed houses line the streets which meander their way to the harbour, and despite its popularity as a tourist destination, Kalkan has remained pleasingly undeveloped. Located on the route of the Lycian Way, Turkey’s most popular long-distance walking trail, it’s a great base for exploring on foot too.

Kalkan is known as an amazing place to dine, with many of its rooftop restauarants and bars enjoying stunning Mediterranean views. You may spend a long evening working your way through courses of fresh seafood or other tempting local fare, finished off with Turkish coffee. Kalkan isn’t a big party town, but you are sure to find some entertainment in the bars around town, whether it’s live jazz or gypsy bands, or even a spot of belly dancing.

You will find a white, pebble beach beside the harbour, where you rent a lounger and parasol and soak up as much sun as you choose. The area’s most popular sandy beaches are within reach too. Accessible by bus, or a 20-minute drive away, Patara is home to the longest beach in Turkey. Along the coast are various beach clubs along the coast too, offering water-sports, dining and irresistible infinity pools.

Kalkan prides itself on a hassle-free shopping experience. You will see all sorts of crafts, carpets, clothes, antiques and more on sale around the Old Town – this bustling trade adds a vibrant character to the place.

The region around Kalkan offers both high-adrenaline activity and total relaxation, with everything from jet-skiing and paraglilding to ancient ruins and sunset sea cruises. You could even pop across to the Greek islands which aren’t so far away from this part of Turkey.

Of course, the area is rich in history too, so don’t miss out on exploring the region’s archaeological highlights. Patara’s ruins, which include a huge theatre, parliament building and Roman baths, are well worth a look.
