We had spent three holidays in Kalkan before we decided to design and build our own villa. We just loved the place and the people. Although it has become quite a bit busier over the years, Kalkan has maintained its village character and is not at all overrun by mass tourism. When we looked at possible locations where to build, we decided to get a bit further away from the village centre, to a point which has probably the most magnificent view in the area and is still very easily accessible by car or taxi (3km from centre). It has also proved to be quite a bit cooler than the village itself, with a nice breeze blowing some of the time.
Depending on the season, you will be able to harvest our own nectarines, figs, lemons and pomegranates, as well as herbs from the herb garden.
We continue to improve the villa every year, recently we converted our pool to saltwater, which is healthier and more ecological than chlorine. It also does not destroy swimwear, as chlorine would do.
