Villa Seyhan combines the best of both worlds with a holiday in a traditional style Turkish stone cottage with all of the modern amenities. This three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-storey villa can comfortably accommodate up to six guests. Situated above the exclusive holiday destination of Kalkan, the villa benefits from stunning panoramic sea views over the old town and working harbour. Villa Seyhan is built with natural local stone, and is decorated sympathetically throughout with cool terracotta and highlights of indigo to reflect and compliment the colours of the Turquoise Coast. This beautiful detached villa is set in its own grounds surrounded by green trees and old olive groves, and benefits from complimentary air-conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout.
Enter the villa on the ground floor, where you will find a large open plan living space. The seating area has a classic three-seater sofa and two comfortable armchairs, coffee and side tables, and a flat-screen television with English speaking news channels. An adjacent dining area has a designer table and chairs where you can entertain up to six guests. The well-equipped kitchen has a hob, fridge-freezer and dishwasher, and a machine to make your must-have morning coffee. On the ground floor there is a double bedroom with a king size bed, and an ensuite marble shower room. Just off this bedroom through floor to ceiling sliding glass doors is a heated plunge pool, perfect for an early morning dip. The second bedroom can also be found on the ground floor, a twin room with two single beds, traditionally decorated in natural wood and sea blues, with an ensuite marble shower room, and access to the pool terrace. There is also a very convenient utility room with a washing machine and guest WC. Take the stairs to the master bedroom, which is located on the first floor of the house, furnished with a king-size bed, an in-room jacuzzi bath, and a frosted glass shower room, as well as a furnished balcony with magnificent sea views.
The marble-paved terrace is home to an extra-long 3.5m x 12.5m infinity swimming pool with a shallow end, and easy entry Roman steps. The pool is surrounded by six cushioned sun loungers, with parasols for shade, and a comfortable seating area to take morning coffee or sip cocktails and watch the glorious sunsets. Make sure you go to the Thursday market, then cook up a feast of fresh local food on the terrace barbeque, where you can eat alfresco under the stars at the six-seater pergola-covered dining table

Location:
Villa Seyhan is nestled in the hills and olive groves overlooking the harbour town of Kalkan, with panoramic views over the aptly named Turquoise Coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The town of Kalkan is 125 kilometres from Dalaman Airport, a scenic one and a half 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 streets of the old town, full of traditional white houses and home to a plethora of restaurants, cafes and bars, and souvenir shops full of goodies you’ll want to take home.
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. All aboard for a day of swimming and snorkelling in beautiful bays, enjoy a meal of local homecooked meze, take afternoon tea, and then sail back to harbour cocktail in hand to watch the sunset.
For the beach bunnies, Kalkan has its own pebble beach with easy access into the sea. 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 turtles. Kalkan is home to a number of beach clubs along the length of its coastline, have some fun in the sun at family-friendly resorts offering water sports and swimming pools, or relax and unwind at exclusive luxury destinations and be waited on hand and foot whilst enjoying alfresco spa treatments.
For those with itchy feet, the Lycian Way walking trail cuts through Kalkan. 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 with 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 festooned 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, where you can explore the Blue Cave and dine by the water’s edge.
