Villa Kereviz

About this property

Villa Kereviz is a private, well-equipped holiday home sleeping up to four guests, in the rural village of Islamlar, just a 10-minute drive from Kalkan on Turkey’s south-western coast. This villa features an attractive pool terrace with a wide range of features.

The centrepiece of the terrace is a lovely 11m x 4m infinity pool with cobra waterfall feature, surrounded by comfortable seating and dining areas and poolside sun loungers. You can make use of a barbecue, pool table and a range of sports equipment, while children will enjoy a playground, table football and the shallower pool area. The terrace has a magnificent view down to the sandy Patara Beach.

Inside, you will find a comfortable lounge with flatscreen TV and large corner sofa, as well as a dining table and chairs. In the same space you have a sleek kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer, gas hob and electric oven. From here, you can access the terrace easily via patio doors.

The master bedroom is directly accessible from the terrace. It has a double bed, wardrobe, TV and en suite bathroom, as well as the added bonus of a hot tub with views outside. The second bedroom, with twin beds, also has an en suite bathroom and TV. Air conditioning and Wi-Fi are also available.

Villa Kereviz is within walking distance of a local shop and the nearest cafés and restaurants are just a 1-2 minute drive away. The pretty coastal town of Kalkan is easy to reach in around 10 minutes – it has a lovely harbour and Old Town to discover and is well known for its magnificent dining options. There are said to be more restaurants per head in Kalkan than anywhere else on the Turkish coast.

Charming Kalkan is a place you will want to return to. Situated at the foot of the Taurus Mountains on what is known as Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, Kalkan has a lovely harbour and pebble beach, and is known for its many rooftop restaurants and bars which enjoy stunning Mediterranean views.

Very welcoming to visitors, the town has kept a traditional feel. The Old Town streets tumble down to the harbour and offer lots of shopping and dining opportunities. The area around the harbour is a particularly popular spot, with lots of terraces looking out over the water. You will be able to enjoy a wide range of dishes, both Turkish and international, in Kalkan.

Kalkan’s Blue Flag pebble beach is right by the harbour, but if you prefer sand you could head out to the spectacular Patara Beach. Just a 20-minute drive away lies the longest beach in Turkey – 20km, in fact. The views are stunning and it’s a lovely place to relax on a lounger for the day. It’s not usually crowded, either. There are all sorts of other options, with beach clubs and beautiful stretches of sand like Kaputaş nearby.

If you like walking, it’s worth knowing that the town is located on the route of the 500km Lycian Way, Turkey’s most popular long-distance walking trail. If you prefer water sports, Kalkan is ideal for sea kayaking, jet-skiing and scuba diving to name a few.

Boat trips are another popular way to take to the sea. You will see plenty of wooden gulet boats in the harbour, which are a big hit with visitors. One destination you might want to check out is mysterious sunken town of Kekova, a once prosperous city which is now completely underwater.

Kalkan is a relaxing place to go shopping too – it’s a good town for fashion and accessories, with lots of boutiques and jewellers, and there are lots of handmade crafts and carpets on sale too. The weekly market, held in town every Thursday, is a good place to get to know the locals and support the community.

Finally, don’t miss out on exploring some of the region’s archaeological treasures. Head for the ancient remains of cities like Myra, Tlos and Xanthos, or check out Patara’s impressive ruins, which include a huge theatre and Roman baths.
