After seeing this villa for the first time we could not resist adding it to our portfolio. Built with a backdrop of craggy hillside and high above the Kalkan bay, Kalos offers extraordinary views and verdant garden terracing in a calming location.

Uniquely designed and landscaped to ensure a harmonious position, Kalos has a contemporary open plan kitchen/dining and living area with sliding doors that tempt you towards the dramatic viewing terrace and beautifully designed outside dining space. A few steps up lead to the perfect barbecue spot with stone circular table and pergola, whilst the lower garden level boasts a generous pool terrace with magnificent kidney shaped pool.

Accommodation in this delightful villa comprises three bedrooms; two are on the ground floor level, one is a double and the other a twin with small singles more suitable for children. The third double bedroom is an independent building with external access just a few steps up from the ground floor level. All have en suite shower rooms and of course, air conditioning which is always welcome in the summer heat. Facilities, fixtures and fittings throughout Kalos are of the highest order and the discrete use of different materials such as wood, polished surfaces and natural stone all contribute to the most stylish of finishes.

It’s a short drive into Kalkan itself (6km) where fashionable cafes and enticing roof top restaurants vie for your attention offering local delicacies and sea food delights freshly caught. A day trip on a Turkish gulet is highly recommended where food and drink are provided whilst you cruise to unspoilt swimming and snorkelling spots. There are plenty of options from the old port in Kalkan.

  • Due to terraced, steep grounds and lots of steps younger children will need supervision. 
  • Flexible start days possible, please call to request. Minimum 7 night stay.

Great Things to Do Near Kalos

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ride horses through the sand dunes of Patara

There are stables within the Patara National Park that cater for riders and non-riders of all ages and ability. Due to the strict conservation laws there is not a building to be seen, which is what makes this beach so special - endless golden sands, surrounded by nature, so it's perfect for an early morning ride enjoying the beautiful scenery!
 

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.
 

Mountain trekking

You will find some of the most beautiful scenery whilst trekking 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.
 

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!
 

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!
