Kayra is one of five modern recently built villa in a premium location close to the pretty town of Kalkan with its old town and port (1km). Beach clubs are also within walking distance of the villa (650m). Adjacent sister villa Bera is almost identical and both are in a perfect location for a sunshine holiday.
The interior of Kayra is spacious and stylish, featuring elegant tiled floors, open views, and modern fittings throughout. The open-plan design is complemented by glass sliding doors that lead directly to a beautiful terrace and infinity pool area. Dining al fresco and hosting barbecues is a delight on the covered terrace, while large parasols provide shade for those relaxing by the private pool during the warmer hours of the day. There are three bedrooms including one twin and two doubles.
Kayra is ideally situated just a 10–15-minute walk from local restaurants and the heart of Kalkan, where you can explore a variety of shops and enjoy the town’s renowned rooftop cafes and restaurants. For water sports enthusiasts, there’s a nearby centre at the old port offering activities like parasailing and SUP boarding. A must-do is a cruise along the Aegean’s crystal-clear waters aboard a traditional Turkish gulet—a beautifully crafted vessel perfect for a laid-back day at sea.
For a change of scenery, a day trip to Kas town (27km) or Patara ruins and beach (16 km away) is highly recommended. The beach, backed by towering sand dunes, stretches for 15 km and is considered one of the finest in Turkey. Kalkan is a straight forward two-hour drive from Dalaman International Airport, where you can either book a transfer or hire a car.
- There is an open tread staircase in this property. Care needed.
- Villas Bera and Kayra are adjacent and nearly identical to each other. The photos shown are representative of both villas and therefore the property may differ slightly to what is shown.

Great Things to Do Near Kayra
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 cost.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
Visit the nearby town of Kaş
Less than half an hour's drive away, enjoy the charm of Kaş as an alternative to the more local Kalkan. A modern seaside town which occupies the site of ancient Antiphellos, some ruins are still visible today. The Lycian Way, a marked trail, passes by the town.
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.
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.
