Our second time in Kalkan and we hired Villa Onat for 18 nights. The villa is absolutely gorgeous. Finished to a high standard and the pool was amazing. It's located within a short walking distance to some excellent restaurants and a beach club. The villa itself had 3 floors, the ground floor had a lovely open kitchen / living area with access to the pool and a handy small downstairs toilet. Air conditioning throughout the villa and the owner had the air conditioning on when we arrived late at night along with some small provisions. The pool area is gorgeous and had 2 sunbeds in a shallow section of water which was nice to lay in. There are umbrellas and a BBQ area and outside table / comfortable seating area which we used in the evenings. The rooms were finished to a high standard, the second floor had a large whirlpool bath / shower and ensuite and the second bedroom was large all with balconies. The third floor was the main room with a jacuzzi bath and shower, lots of space to hang clothes. Outside the third floor balcony was amazing views over Kalkan to the sea and the mountains. The villa surrounding grounds were well maintained, there is Wi-Fi and TV and very comfortable relaxing sofas in the living area. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and a gas hob although we didn't eat in much. We had a cleaner come in during the stay and she did an incredible job. Bins were emptied for us daily and the pool was maintained well. We would highly recommend this location / villa and the agency who were very helpful. The owner was available to us anytime we needed him for any simple questions. We will book here again.
Kalkan is a Mediterranean fishing village located on the turquoise coast of Turkey, not touched as yet by the mass tourism.
This charming village nestles around a historic harbour sheltered at the foot of the towering Mountain of Taurus, overlooking a bay with small islands floating upon the glittering sea.
Kalkan is a very peaceful place with unique atmosphere, narrow streets twisting down to the harbour and remains to the high preference of repeated visitors who are looking to something more than a <
The narrow twisted streets are lined with small local specialities shops and restaurants established in historic buildings, with hanging Ottoman – Greek carved timber balconies and decorated with thick coloured bougainvillea.
Resort’s main economy is tourism and the locals put much pride and effort into town’s historic preservation, which is resulting into Kalkan protecting its distinctive Ottoman – Greek architecture and its very strict building codes.
In opposition to the well-known “Kalkan Style” architecture, the numerous restaurants contribute to the special appearance of the village and good dining remains a way of life up today for the locals and the visitors. For this reason Kalkan is considered as the place with the highest number of restaurants and bars per inhabitant on the Turkish coast.
The locals sincerely love to know their guests and for this reason visitors are warmly welcomed on a universal friendliness along with the characteristic Turkish hospitality. (Do not hesitate to accept one of the many flower shaped cups of tea you will be offered whilst you are wondering along Kalkan’s narrow streets.
The population is a mixture of Istanbul Turks and Turks from other districts, who have turned Kalkan into their own home with their own small family businesses and feel really proud of what they have created in this charming part of Mediterranean.
