Clean, contemporary lines, invitingly sleek interiors and sweeping views over the bay of Kalkan and its islands beyond await you from this smartly appointed and comfortable villa. The beach is just 1.8km from your door.

Open plan, light filled interiors and marble tiled floors are cool and inviting, the spacious and welcoming living area invites you to relax and spend time together. From here the terrace extends to the enticing pool and the shimmering expanse of cobalt sea and sky that unfolds to the horizon. First floor bedrooms each enjoy access to a large balcony with views over the glittering bay. The impressive principal suite on the top floor opens out to a wonderful private balcony and panoramic sea views. The perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful early morning read and relax in the evenings whilst drinking in the stunning panorama that surrounds you.

Outside, the large shaded dining terrace leads out to Acacia’s good sized garden behind the house, complete with hammock for whiling away some time in the sunshine, barbecue and a shaded games area.

Acacia is located next to villa Nautic in a neighbourhood approximately 1km above Kalkan. It's about a 20 minute walk downhill into the town and a quick taxi ride back up! The local taxis are a great, cost effective way of getting around the town and are numerous at all hours. The restaurants and cafés create a buzzing atmosphere in the heart of the old town and in the harbour. Beach clubs around the bay offer sun loungers and water sports, and we recommend a scenic sunset boat trip on a ‘gulet’ as a perfect way to end the day. Take a day trip to Patara beach (16km) where you will also find the archaeological world heritage site or drive inland and up into the mountains to Islamlar (6km) to savour the speciality trout restaurants. Dalaman airport is a 2 hour drive.

Great Things to Do Near Acacia

Drive down to the stunning beach of Patara

It's part of a huge national park, it is a key biodiversity area, rich in birdlife and the breeding ground of the endangered loggerhead turtle (caretta caretta). Only about a 15 minute stroll from some of the major ruins, even in the height of the summer it is never crowded. The absence of development and no water sports means that it is always peaceful.

Cross over to Greece

Take the opportunity to visit the closest Greek island to Turkey, Kastolorizo, just 3.5 nautical miles off the coast of Kaş. After a short but scenic crossing explore the delights of this quaint Greek fishing village, including the local museum, church and mosque. Wander round the white washed back streets before enjoying a lunch on the harbour front. Don't forget your passport!

Sticky delights

Try one of the rich, gooey Turkish pastries, rich in honey, raisins, nuts and cinnamon and layered in Filo pastry - along with a Turkish coffee to clear the palate. Kalkan's harbour front is the best place to enjoy this indulgence!

For the biggest market on the Lycian coast

take the journey up to Fethiye and experience an authentic Turkish market. Produce is brought from all over the region - vegetables, spices and, of course, the 'genuine fake' designer goods. In the centre of Fethiye is the fish market, where fresh fish can be chosen from the stalls and cooked at one of the restaurants in the surrounding square - a great place for lunch. Tuesday is the main market day for Fethiye.

Stepping down to Kaputas Beach

In an unspoilt, idyllic setting, Kaputas Beach, much smaller than Patara, is only accessed by 192 steps down - so make sure you can manage the climb back up at the end of the day!

Explore the Saklikent Gorge

It's the second-largest (20 km long) gorge in Europe, with spectacular scenery and 4 kms of the gorge is walkable. Outside the gorge, restaurants have wooden platforms suspended just above rushing spring waters - great places to relax on Turkish rugs and cushions with a beer. You have to cross the water - beware, it's knee deep and fast flowing. Wear swim shoes - these can be hired if you don't have any.

Mountain Trekking

Trekking in the mountains behind Kas is where you will find some of the most beautiful scenery in the Taurus range. Below the tree line and winter snow are the yayla (highland plateaus). Trek through canyons, gorges and passes - many of these gorges were important trade routes, some still in use, some completely forgotten, though all at one time jealously guarded.

A 'must see' is the ancient site of Xanthos

It was one of the six principal cities of Lycia and it is one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in Turkey and has been registered in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list. Of note are the pillar tombs (unique to Lycia) and the Harpy column tomb with frieze. The 'Harpy Tomb' is so called as it was believed that the winged women figures in the frieze were harpies - monsters from Greek mythology with the head of a woman and the body of a bird.

Explore the back streets of Kalkan

Wonderful atmospheric narrow streets that house a mixture of shops, coffee bars, restaurants with traditional overhanging wooden balconies above. Enjoy having a wander around.

Enjoy fresh trout in the famous Islamlar restaurants

Islamlar is famous for its traditional trout fishing industry so make sure you sample the local produce only 15 minutes away.

Visit the Lycian sites

at Myra, where you will be able to explore the spectacular Lycian, Greek and Roman ruins of this ancient city, including one of the best preserved amphitheatres and spectacular rock tombs. Entrance to St Nicholas Church is available, but as an optional extra.

Canoeing on the Xanthos river

Enjoy a fun day river canoeing on the Xanthos river. You can travel across ancient Lycian lands of lush and tranquil nature. The ride is downstream, so it's not hard going. The journey ends at Patara beach with time for a swim.
