Although breath-taking views over the Mediterranean are the star feature, there is plenty more to recommend in this spacious modern villa, set just a few kilometres (4.5km) from the lively coastal town of Kalkan.
Finished in 2022, this attractively presented villa offers contemporary standards and comfort, including air conditioning throughout. The welcoming décor is fresh and light with colourful flourishes, and the open plan layout makes for a convivial social space. The living area naturally flows outside where there is a very comfortable covered dining and seating area positioned to enjoy the fabulous sea view over the pool.
One bedroom walks onto the main terrace, whilst the remaining two bedrooms are on the upper floor. Each walk onto their own balcony terrace, from where the vista over this stunning part of the Mediterranean coast is even more spectacular.
Set in a quiet neighbourhood, pure relaxation will come easily, but when you are ready to explore it is an easy 4km drive to the vibrant coastal town of Kalkan. Numerous restaurants and cafés create a buzzing atmosphere in the heart of the old village and along the harbour, and there are several beach clubs around the bay. Water sports and fishing are available, and a scenic boat trip on a ‘gulet’ is a popular activity for many of our guests.

Great Things to Do Near Edaz
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 around 15 minutes away.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
