What you should know…
- There are 45-50 steps down to the entrance of the villa, a great daily work out going up and down them, but it may not be suitable for those with mobility issues
- Villa Kayra sits above the town of Kalkan and as such enjoys magnificent views, it is a very steep and rather long 6km walk into town and an even steeper one back uphill, we recommend driving down and back, or there is an infrequent bus to ferry you back and forth
- Many of Kalkan's restaurants do deliver
- The hire of a car would greatly enhance your enjoyment and opportunity to see all the sights you wish to see and get you to all the places you would like to go.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa KayraVilla Kayra is located in the hillside of Ordu, with sweeping panoramic sea views of the holiday hot spot of Kalkan town, harbour and bay. The quaint harbour town of Kalkan is situated on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, the jewel of the Mediterranean Sea.
Kalkan is one hundred and thirty kilometres from Dalaman Airport, a scenic two-hour journey through the Turkish countryside and Taurus mountains. Originally a Greek enclave called Kalamaki, Ottoman and Hellenic influences can be found in the winding cobbled streets of the old town, full of traditional white houses, festooned with brightly coloured bougainvillea, and home to a reputed one hundred and fifty restaurants, cafes, and bars, and lots of souvenir and craft shops, full of goodies you’ll want to take home. It's just a ten minute drive into Kalkan where you can find supermarkets, shops, banks, and a local Thursday market, that can provide all the you will need to cater for a happy holiday.
Take a trip into town on a complimentary water taxi to one of the many inviting beach clubs around the bay. You’ll be spoilt for choice with a day at the sophisticated Villa Mahal, or Zest with its huge infinity pool and staged setting, or laid back Indigo and their lovely lunches. No stay in Kalkan is complete without a boat trip from the harbour, whether it’s a shared one with family and friends, or why not charter your own private gulet for a day at sea with your favourite captain and crew, it is the stuff memories are made of. All aboard for a day of swimming and snorkelling in beautiful bays, enjoy a meal of local homecooked meze, take afternoon tea aboard, and then sail back to harbour, cocktail in hand to watch the famous sunsets. For the beach bunnies, Kalkan has its own pebble beach with easy access into the calm and crystal clear Mediterranean Sea.
Travel further afield to the stunning Kaputas Beach, set in a natural gorge, it’s only two hundred steps down, and two hundred back up again. Or take a trip to Patara, where you will find two two-thousand year old amphitheatres, ancient ruins, and fortifications, and twenty kilometres of unspoilt golden sands, with a protected area for the hatching Caretta Caretta turtles. Back on land, don’t miss the opportunity to experience an authentic Turkish hammam, enjoy the heat and bubbles of a hands-on massage, and be pampered in one of the many super spas all over town.
The Lycian Way walking trail cuts through Kalkan for those with itchy feet. Follow in the footsteps of thousands of years of history as you trek the trail 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, where you can step back in time to the Lycian 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. Whilst the nearer town of Kas is just twenty-five kilometres away and worth the journey alone along one of the world’s most stunning and dramatic coastlines. Walk through the harbour to the cobbled streets full of Ottoman architecture and overhanging balconies adorned with pastel coloured bougainvillaea, barter for unique handmade and antique goods in its many shops, and make memories dining in one of the traditional restaurants serving authentic Turkish cuisine with mesmerising sea views. And if you’re feeling intercontinental, hop on the twenty-minute ferry from Kas to the Greek island of Meis, known locally as Kastellorizo, where you can swim in the beautiful Blue Cave, then dine alfresco under a Grecian sky by the 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 AgesKalkan is the perfect holiday hot spot for kids of all ages. Starting with the villa, with its own private pool, your kids can play and splash all day.
The nearest beach is in the town of Kalkan, next to the harbour, it is an organised pebble beach with sun loungers and parasols, a local café, and lots of family friendly restaurants nearby on the sea front. The beach has shallow entry clear waters, and is cordoned off for your safety. There are lots of family-friendly beach clubs dotted along the coastline, most notably for children Kalkan Beach Park, with immediate entry into shallow warm seas, and lots of water sports to keep them amused all day. You’ll love Zest Beach Club, staged in a stunning setting, with huge infinity and kid’s swimming pools, and a wood-fired pizza restaurant, it’s great for children and adults alike. For the more sophisticated or older children take the water taxi into town to Indigo Beach Club, with bathing platforms and step entry into the sea, whilst the laid-back cool Palm Beach is smaller and quieter. In the pretty town of Kalkan you will find an original Greek village, full of winding streets of white-washed houses, child-friendly restaurants and cafes, and shops galore selling souvenirs. For your little daredevils, Aristos Water Sports will take them on exhilarating sea rides, tandem parasailing, jet skis, and racing speed boats.
A trip to Kalkan isn’t complete without a family lazy 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, not to mention the magnificent meze lunch with freshly caught fish, then sail home and turtle spot as the sun sets.
Whilst you are in town book one of the many day trips for all the family. Enjoy a jeep safari through the local villages, see the natural flora and fauna, and ride the famous Patara sand dunes.
Go further afield to Sakilkent Gorge, where you can walk through a flowing river to a magnificent waterfall. And don’t miss Gizlikent, its adjacent little sister, where you can ramble through a wood to a cool stream that leads you to a smaller waterfall. Take a trip to Kekova and see a sunken city through a glass-bottomed boat. On the way to Fethiye stop off at the ghost town of Kaya, where you can 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 shallow waters, and a magnificent one thousand seven hundred metre 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.
In the evenings during high season watch your favourite stars under the stars at Indigo Beach Club film nights, take a sunset cruise and swim with the fishes under the light of the silvery moon, or drive to the Patara dunes and watch the sun set over the sea and watch in wonder as it dips under the horizon, before enjoying a family supper in Gelemis village.
