Overview
The wonderful, one bedroom Villa Pasa sits quietly on the hillside in Akbel, Kalkan. Offering a gorgeous open plan living space, a fabulous bedroom suite, a beautiful terrace complete with an infinity pool together with sensational sea views, Villa Pasa serves well as a honeymoon destination. It is very private, very peaceful and only moments from the charms of Kalkan.
Akbel boasts a colourful Sunday market and a number of handy shops. It is a lovely spot only five minutes drive from the centre of Kalkan. Although you could walk down, you might not fancy the climb up with a full, content stomach! Kalkan is one of Turkey’s prettiest resorts brimming with fabulous restaurants, hilly, narrow cobbled streets covered with vibrant, cascading bougainvillea, independent shops, flower adorned courtyards and fabulous cocktail bars. Delicious gastronomic cuisine is offered from the town’s three hundred and fifty plus restaurants, some tucked away on secret corners, some hidden away in pretty warrens and some high up on rooftops where you will delight in the sensational sea views, especially at sunset. Akbel and Kalkan are surrounded by nature. You don’t have to drive far to be lazing on golden sands and dipping in dazzling, turquoise water.
Villa Pasa’s open plan living space is drowned in natural light though the floor-to-ceiling doors that open to the terrace. A lavish sofa and chair sit opposite the giant wall mounted television, also enjoying the far reaching views outside. They are adorned with colourful scatter cushions giving the room vibrant splashes of colour. The contemporary kitchen sits at the back of the room with a handy breakfast bar and excellent appliances for your self-catering stay.
The bedroom suite is pretty amazing and very spacious. You can relax in a giant jacuzzi bath enjoying the views while sipping a glass of champagne. It is a magical spot. Your sumptuous kingsize bed is beautifully dressed in crisp cottons and attractive throws and cushions. As well as the jacuzzi, you also enjoy an in-room ensuite bathroom that is thoroughly modern with the very best of fittings. The bedroom opens directly to the terrace so you can pop out for an early morning swim or a glass of your favourite tipple while watching the sunsets or night stars. Every space in this villa comes with fantastic panorama!
The terrace is a delight with a fabulous 8m x 3.5m infinity pool surrounded by trendy bean bag chairs, luxury loungers, an outdoor dining bench, built-in barbecue and a lovely shaded alfresco lounge area. Though the delights of Kalkan will be calling you, Villa Pasa is a heavenly retreat where you will definitely fully relax.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa PasaVilla Pasa is nestled on the hillside in Akbel, just above the centre of Kalkan. Akbel is a delightful neighbourhood with a few shops, a lively market where you can stock up on fresh produce for the villa and superb vistas. The captivating town of Kalkan is one of the most beautiful on Turkey’s gorgeous Lycian Coast. Until the 1920’s, Kalkan was a sleepy fishing village and today it remains an unspoiled despite being a popular spot with tourists. It is a dreamy destination awash with nature, historic architecture, bougainvillea-draped streets, rooftop restaurants and sparkling turquoise, crystal clear sea. The busy harbour looks very attractive, full of yachts, gilets and boats awaiting tourists who want to explore the coast or enjoy some watersports. The town enjoys many bathing platforms for sun worshippers, a number of beach clubs and a small central beach. Other beach options nearby are the sandy cove of Kaputas, ten minutes away and the stunning sandy Patara Beach. Sprinkled along the narrow, hilly streets are Ottoman-Greek whitewashed chic boutiques and gift shops selling textiles, clothes, ‘designer’ handbags and very pretty jewellery. The town’s charming restaurants offer varied menus of Turkish mezes, zesty salads and plenty of fresh fish. Boat trips can be taken from Kalkan harbour on traditional gulets or other boats. The gulet trips are wonderful and usually come with a traditional meal. Visitors enjoy exploring the local bays, beaches and sea caves while others go further to Kekova, one of the most beautiful areas of the Turkish coast. Other popular excursions include those to the village of Ucaoyz and glass-bottom boat trips, all of which include swim stops. There are also romantic moonlight cruises and sunset trips. Thrillseekers can be taken to the top of the mountains to paraglide over the coast.
Just up the hill are the fabulous trout farms of Islamar where you can enjoy delicious dinners. Springs were diverted from the mountains into Islamar which led to a thriving trout farming industry. Not only will you be served delicious fresh fish, the views from the restaurant terraces are sensational.
Guests enjoy thrilling adventures such as kayaking along the Dalyan River or visiting the majestic and dramatic Saklikent Gorge which was opened as a national park in 1996. The gorge is 18km long and 300m deep. Visitors wade through chilly water, climb, swim and slide through the gorge and its many boulders and tunnels. It is exhilarating and great fun with the fresh mountain water often up to waist height. Guides can lead you through offering so much fun. River rafting and dining by the waterside are additional options at this fantastic location.
Patara is a fantastic historic site, perfect for an excursion. It boasts an ancient theatre, restored parliament building and impressive Roman baths. The preserved ‘ghost village’ of Kayakoy where hundreds of deserted, Greek-style houses and churches sit eerily on the hillside should also be on your list of excursions. It was abandoned after the Turkish-Greek population exchange of 1923 and is eerily silent.
Less than half an hour away is the picturesque resort of Kas. It too enjoys narrow winding lanes, rustic wooden balconies draped in colourful bougainvillea, atmospheric, upmarket restaurants and beautiful boutiques and shops. It also boasts a well-preserved Greek amphitheatre which offers sensational views from the top tier.

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.
