Breath-taking Mediterranean Sea views await to welcome you when you vacation in the brand new Villa Karpuz, overlooking exclusive Kalkan, on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast. This sleek and chic villa has four spacious ensuite double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests in some style.

Villa Karpuz would be ideal for a family holiday, or a group of friends’ getaway. The three-storey, detached villa is constructed out of classic dove grey washed stone, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that flood the property with lots of natural light, and give access to sea view terraces and balconies. Villa Karpuz comes complete with complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, your own private swimming pool, a sauna and hammam, and a games room. The interiors are cool and contemporary, furnished with modern pieces, art and artefacts adorning the space, and the villa is decorated in a subtle colour palette of crisp whites, with shades of grey and beige.

Enter the villa at ground floor level, where you will find a wow factor, light and airy, sea and mountain view, and open plan living space. The sea view seating area has soft squishy sofas and armchairs, handy coffee and side tables, and a flat-screen television. The adjacent eight-seater dining set would make for some impressive indoor entertaining. The black and white marble kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest amenities to cater for your holiday, including a preparation island with stools, ideal for breakfast. The first of the four fabulously-appointed bedrooms are on this floor, furnished with a double bed, a flat-screen television, an ensuite shower room, and access to the pool terrace, perfect for a morning swim.

After a hard day’s sightseeing sweat it all out in the full-size Finnish sauna, and traditional Turkish hammam, before a game of ping pong or billiards in the games room. On the first floor, there are two ensuite bedrooms, one with a double bed, and one with two single beds, both with flat-screen TVs, and a shared stunning sea and mountain view balcony. The second floor is home to the Master Bedroom, with a built-in wooden king-size bed, a chaise seating spot, an ensuite bathroom, and a sea-view Jacuzzi bath. Step outside onto the expansive panoramic sea view terrace, furnished with sun loungers, soft seating, and best of all, a bar with the must-have high stools.

Access the pool terrace from the living space, and jump into your very own private infinity swimming pool. Relax on the surrounding sun loungers under shady parasols. Meet for morning coffee at the perfectly positioned soft seating spots. As dusk falls, gather for sundowners and watch the sunset, before feasting alfresco at the eight-seater dining set, off dishes freshly grilled on the barbeque, then toast to the most memorable, and oh so very stylish vacation!

Villa Karpuz can be found in the quiet residential area of Kiziltas, overlooking the boutique holiday resort of Kalkan. The villa commands sweeping panoramic views towards Mouse and Snake islands, sitting in the azure waters of Turkey’s Mediterranean Sea. The villa is 125 kilometres from Dalaman Airport, a scenic one-and-a-half-hour journey through the Turkish countryside and Taurus mountains.

The old town of Kalkan has winding, cobbled streets, with traditional white-washed houses, festooned with pastel-coloured bougainvillea, and home to a plethora of restaurants, cafes and bars, and souvenir shops, full of goodies you’ll want to take home. A short drive will take you into the town of Kalkan, where you can find supermarkets, banks, and a local Sunday and Thursday market. The town of Kalkan reputedly has one hundred and fifty restaurants, cafes, and bars, you’ll be spoilt for choice deciding on whether to eat traditional Turkish food or dine on gourmet delights in international establishments, at one of the romantic rooftop restaurants.

Kalkan is famous for some of the best beach clubs, with bathing platforms, fabulous restaurants, and some with full-size swimming pools. Take a trip down to the harbour, where you will find complimentary water taxis to ferry you to a beach club of your choice. Located around the coastline, from Kalkan Beach Park in Kisla to Kulube at Kalamar Bay, there’s a beach club for everyone. No stay in Kalkan is complete without a boat trip from the harbour, whether it’s a shared one with family and friends, or you charter your own gulet, a day out at sea with your favourite captain and crew, is one to treasure. For the beach bunnies, Kalkan has its own pebble beach with easy access into the sea, sun loungers, parasols, and a cute café. Travel further afield to the stunning Kaputas Beach set in a natural gorge, or take a trip to Patara, where you will find twenty kilometres of unspoilt golden sands and a protected area for the hatching sea water Caretta Caretta turtles.

Follow in the footsteps of thousands of years of history as you walk along the Lycian Way, taking you through major archaeological sites, local villages, dramatic coastlines, and the areas’ flora and fauna. Take a short journey to the town of Kinik, which has the best local Friday market, and where you can step back in time to the ancient city of Xanthos. Follow the D400 to Fethiye, and discover the historical sites of Patara, Letoon, Tlos, and Pinara, where you can see the ancient ruins, amphitheatres and temples with Lycian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine influences.

The harbour town of Fethiye is also full of ancient sites worth seeing, as well as a foodie-heaven fish market, and home to some seriously good designer labels and fabulous jewellery shopping. The cosmopolitan Ottoman town of Kas is just twenty-five kilometres away, along one of the world’s most stunning and dramatic coastlines. If you are feeling intercontinental, hop on the daily twenty-minute ferry from Kas to the Greek island of Meis, where you can explore the magical Blue Cave, and dine by candlelight at the lapping water’s edge.

Kalkan

Kalkan has become boutique resorts, with cobbled streets and converted Greek houses, which belonged to the Greek merchants before the exchange of population in the 1920’s. Once quiet fishing harbours these days you are more likely to see traditional wooden gulets taking tourists to soak up rays on the sparkling turquoise Mediterranean. A boat trip is a must do, from the boat you can snorkel and usually a delicious lunch is prepared on board. Keen walkers should check out the Lycian way for designated walking paths in the area.

You cannot come to this area without spending  some time exploring the many Lycian sights, such as Xanthos, Patara, Myra or the sunken city of Kekova.

Patara is said to be where democracy started (they excavated stone voting block) and is also said to be the birthplace of St Nicholas, who became bishop at nearby Myra. The ruins here include an ancient theatre, city walls, government build and agora. The lighthouse on the site is said to be the earliest of its kind. Visit Patara in the late afternoon and finish the trip with a drink on the sandy beach watching the amazing sunset.

The Salikent Gorge is a great place to visit, especially if you want to cool off in the fresh waters whilst walking up the gorge. For the more energetic there are rafts and rings to ride the flowing waters. Further down you can enjoy a day canoeing toward the beach.

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.

By night both Kalkan and Kas come alive. Kas has more of a bohemian feel, people ambling through the cobbled streets, passing the ancient tomb in the street, haggling for textiles, carpets and other goodies, maybe stopping for the traditional Turkish ‘maras’ ice cream, a tulip-shaped glass of tea or a wonderful kebab in the shadow of the mosque. Most of the villas in Kas are just out of town on the Cukurbag Peninsula. A reasonable (5km) taxi or Dolmus (local bus) ride into town. Be sure to try the Piyaz, a white bean salad with tahini sauce.

Travelling along the coast, towards Kalkan you pass the modern marina, the children’s beach park (run by the local hotel school) and halfway to Kalkan the stunning Kaputas Beach, cut in a gorge with all different shades of turquoise in the sea.

Kalkan is a more sophisticated resort, with the villas built onto the mountainside. Evening are spent enjoying the rooftop restaurants, perched on the top of the old ‘konak’ houses. Then wandering to a seaside bar for a cocktail, after shopping for glass lanterns, Iznik pottery, handbags or pestemel towel. Do visit the ‘pastane’, local patisseries which do the most delicious morning pastries and you must try the ‘Gozleme’ pancakes at the Thursday market.

Other things to do in the area include scuba diving as the visibility is excellent, paragliding, horseriding on Patara Beach or kayaking around the sunken ruins at Kekova.

Kids

Best Suited For: All Ages
Ideal for Kids Ideal for Teens

Kalkan is the perfect holiday hot spot for kids of all ages. Starting with the villa’s private pool, and as there are no set hours, your children can swim and splash all day. To keep them amused Villa Karpuz has a great games room, with a ping pong table, and a billiards table for your older kids. Drive or stroll down to the harbour, and jump into a water taxi to one of the fifteen family-friendly beach clubs around the coast. Kalkan Beach Club, with its own beach and shallow entry warm sea, as well as lots of water sports to keep your kids amused all day.

You’ll love Zest Beach Club, in a stunning setting with huge infinity and kid’s swimming pools, and a wood-fired pizza restaurant. For your more sophisticated or older children in town, there is Indigo Beach Club with bathing platforms and the adjacent Aristos water sports for some adrenalin-infused adventures. For the not so adventurous Kalkan has its own public pebble beach, with sunbeds and brollies, safe entry into the calm sea, a children’s playground, and a good café.

Further afield the twenty-kilometre soft white sands of Patara beach have easy entry to shallow waters, and a horse riding centre, where your children can trot through the waves. Whilst Kaputas Beach is set in a gorge, two hundred steps down, cordoned off sea swimming, changing facilities and a cafe. In the pretty town of Kalkan, you will find an original authentic Turkish village full of winding streets of white-washed houses, family-friendly restaurants and cafes, and shops galore selling souvenirs. All aboard for a day at sea on one of the traditional gulets that leave the harbour daily, with stopovers at beautiful bays, mud bath inlets, super swimming and snorkelling in the warm waters of the Turquoise Coast, stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking, and a magnificent meze lunch. Enjoy a jeep safari through the local villages, see the natural flora and fauna, and ride the famous Patara sand dunes.

Take a drive through the countryside to Sakilkent and Gizlikent Gorges, where you can walk through flowing rivers to cooling waterfalls. See a sunken city through a glass-bottomed boat from the town of Kekova, stop off at Simena to see the Roman ruins, and eat homemade ice cream. Go to the ghost town of Kaya, and explore the ruins of an abandoned Greek town with original houses, churches, and chapels. The town of Olu Deniz offers the best of both worlds, with stunning sandy beaches with easy entry to shallow waters, and a cable car ride up to the top of Mount Babadag, from where you can tandem paraglide and land back where you started. A short boat taxi journey from Olu Deniz will take you to Butterfly Valley, where your children can discover over eighty species of beautiful butterflies in nature’s garden, best seen in May and June. In the evening watch the stars under the stars at the Indigo Beach Club movie nights.

Reviews

  • A fabulous holiday, and we will definitely return

    on 16/05/2024

    We had the most wonderful stay here at Villa Karpuz. The villa is situated in a perfect location, on the hill above Kalkan, providing stunning views, yet only a 10-15 minute walk into the shops, restaurants and café bars in Kalkan. There is even a very good pizzeria 100m along from the property, perfect for take-away lunches or a relaxing evening meal at it’s outside garden tables. The villa itself is of a very high standard and very well equipped, there’s enough of everything to prepare and serve meals, should you decide to self-cater from time to time. The pool is excellent, as are the outside dining facilities and sun beds etc. we’d definitely return.
