About Kalkan

Kalkan is a charming Ottoman town on Turkey's Turquoise Coast. Famed for its picturesque beauty, Kalkan is unspoilt and exclusive, with a population of only two thousand people. Property in Kalkan tends towards the upper end of the market - luxurious villa and apartment complexes with sea views, overlooking the town as it slopes down to the harbour and into the beautiful Mediterranean bay. In summer, the pretty whitewashed houses are covered in bougainvillea, which in winter fades back to reveal the sensuous curves of the ornate wooden balconies typical of Kalkan architecture.

The main industry of Kalkan is tourism, and the town has chosen to preserve its unique appeal with strict guidelines that any new property must adhere to, so Kalkan property is uniquely attractive and sympathetic to the beauty of the area.

Life in Kalkan is laid-back and unpressured. A typical day might include a Gulet cruise down the coast to a quiet bay, swimming and a picnic on the beach, and then back home to enjoy the sea view and a drink with friends on the roof terrace, before descending into the town for dinner. Seafood is, of course, a speciality!

In keeping with this idyllic routine, the properties offered by Turquoise Homes in Kalkan are spacious hillside villas and villa-apartments on no more than three storeys. Each property looks across at olive-covered hills and down over the town to the sparkling waters of the bay, and each villa has its own swimming pool. The generous terraces are ideal for watching the last rays of the sun disappearing behind the hills as you relax, glass of Kavaklidere wine in hand, listening to the crackle of fresh sea bass on theair grill behind you.
