On the lower ground floor, alongside two en suite bedrooms, is a living area with pool table and direct access to outside gym facilities – great for the teenagers and fitness enthusiasts. The ground floor boasts a fully equipped kitchen as well as an open plan living and dining area, all furnished for a welcoming stay.

Vibrant, atmospheric and friendly there is always something of interest in Kalkan. Heading down into the town on foot, to shop and explore the hidden rooftop cafes and restaurants, will take only about 10 minutes via a convenient footbridge nearby. The public town beach is only 1.2km and there are at least three beach clubs within a ten minute drive.
For those wishing to explore further afield, the nearby beach of Kaputaş (6.5km) is one of the many coastal highlights. Just 20 minutes’ drive further brings you to the picture postcard harbour town of Kaş (27km) and the opportunity to enjoy a 30 minute boat ride over to the Greek island of Meis, a picturesque and quaint little spot that appears to be virtually within touching distance of the Turkish coast.

- Flexible changeover days are possible - please enquire at the time of booking.

Great Things to Do Near Asil
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.
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.
Stepping down to Kaputas beach
In an unspoilt and 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 Kaş
Enjoy wandering around the narrow cobbled streets of the historic town centre. They are lined with small shops selling local products. Look up at the overhanging balconies with their bright and colourful bougainvillea spilling over. The main square is the focal point where tables are laid out inviting one and all to enjoy a refreshing drink or delicious meal of fresh, local produce.
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.
A ‘must see’ is the ancient site of Xanthos
It was one of the six principal cities of Lycia and due to being one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in Turkey it 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.
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.
Enjoy fresh trout in the famous Islamlar restaurants
Just a short drive away, Islamlar is famous for its traditional trout fishing industry so make sure you sample the local produce.
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.
