Yey! Wait… what is that? |
What you should know…
- You’re in a quiet and peaceful spot in Islamlar village with shops and restaurants just 500-metres away, and livelier Kalkan Town with more local restaurants, shops and sandy swimming beaches is only a fifteen-minute drive away.
- Islamlar village is quiet and peaceful. If you’re looking for a party house, another villa would probably be more appropriate.
- The villa is in a small cluster with Villas Mart, Nisan & Subat, so they can be booked together. They have been sympathically built so none are visible from each other once inside or by the pool.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MayisThe friendly Turkish village of Islamlar lies in the foothills of the towering Taurus Mountains on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast. The incredibly beautiful area offers a compelling combination of a peaceful, utterly unspoilt terrain with the convenience of being close to the lively town of Kalkan. The villa is in a countryside spot, yet is close to local restaurants and shops for picking up essentials.
In the centre of Islamlar (or its surrounds), you can get an authentic insight into traditional rural Turkish life. Explore the olive groves and vineyards or head to one of the famous trout farm restaurants with locally-sourced ingredients and beautiful views down the valley. The villa is also close to parts of the Lycian Way Trail – a wonderful walking route that traverses the coastline.
A fifteen-minute drive from Islamlar will take you to Kalkan, an old fishing town and harbour between Kas and Fethiye. It’s famous for its white-washed houses, descending to the sea, and its brightly coloured bougainvillaea flowers. Dine on a roof terrace restaurant or bar with beautiful views of the town or while away the afternoon at one of the many harbour-side restaurants.
There are plenty of beaches in the area, including Kaputas Beach and Patara Beach. Both have small restaurants, decking with sun loungers and sunshades. You could also leave Kalkan harbour on a wooden gulet (classic Turkish sailing boat) to experience the full beauty of the coast. For an exciting cultural day trip instead, you could visit the sunken remains at Kekova. Boats go there from Kas, a 30-minute drive from Kalkan.

Islamlar
Islamlar sits 8 km above Kalkan. Once the place Kalkan folk went to cool off at one of the trout farms built to make use of the mountain’s springs. Today Islamlar houses many a villa, enjoyed by Istanbul Turks who prefer a holiday in slightly cooler and cleaner air. Here the locals grow grapes and pomegranates, but you’ll mainly see the men sat gossiping next to the local teahouse. The trout farms remain a place to come for a wonderful fresh meal, or a breakfast consisting of fresh local fare. The rocket will be the freshest & most tasty you’ve ever had; and the fresh chips cooked in olive oil take some beating.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesSet in a peaceful countryside landscape with mountainous views, Villa Mayis is the perfect place to enjoy nature with children. The villa also has its private swimming pool and shaded spots in the garden area – all enclosed by a wall – perfect for younger children to play safely and insight.
With a fantastic selection of watersports, including scuba diving and snorkelling opportunities in the area, this part of Turkey is ideal for keeping children occupied and happy. There are lovely family-friendly beaches that have sheltered and calm waters, including Kalkan's pebble beach.
Kalkan specialises in historic sites with a range of intriguing ruins nearby that promise a great day out for the kids. You can also jump on a boat to explore the coastline and stop for swimming. In the cooler months, families can go mountain biking or horse riding in the Taurus Mountains.

Perfect!
The only thing that can be said for the villa and its surroundings is that it is perfect! This villa, which we have been to for 2 years in a row for our family holiday, deserves much more than five stars with its equipment, cleanliness and view. The support team cleans the pool every day and you can easily contact them whenever you need. The team who took care of us are extremely polite people who do their job well. If you want to have a pleasant holiday in this region, this should be your first choice!

Highly recommend!
We have recently returned from a lovely holiday here. The villa was furnished to a very high standard. The pool, view and location were exceptional. The on-site service was very good and sorted out any issues we had very quickly. I would highly recommend and hope to return next year!

Unique
Extremely beautiful view, perfect for relaxation, you are in touch with nature and you have a very modern villa with pool, fitness room, Turkish bath and sauna. Deer can be seen from the top of the waterfall. In a word, unique.

Exceeded Our Expectation
We really enjoyed the time we had at this villa and it exceeded our expectation. It's a shame we didn't get to meet the host or stay longer but we appreciated the fast responses and all the help the host owner. Very nice and even better villa. We hope to be back soon. Much recommended.
-
Very Relaxing
The Villa is clean and all furniture and all equipment is new.
The Villa is near the city named Kalkan. Kalkan is a small pretty town. It takes 8-10 minutes by car from there.
The enviroment is really magical at this place. You can feel yourself in nature. A tiny waterfall is near the house and its voice is relaxing when you are swimming or sitting at penthouse.
You can feel yourself at home. I have to say that this is my must relaxing holiday ever. You will feel yourself really rested at the end of your holiday. I strongly recommend this place if you are thinking to stay somewhere like that. You won't regret it!
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
