Kalkan is located on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey between Fethiye and Kas. The nearest airport is Dalaman (2 hours by taxi or minibus). Antalya is a 3-hour car or bus ride.

The town nestles snugly into the curve of a small, pristine half-moon bay. With only 2000 winter residents, from April through October Kalkan plays host to many international visitors seeking sun, sea and the quaint portside and rooftop restaurants lining the marina and dotting the hillsides. Most often described as a charming and romantic haven, Kalkan is off the beaten track of the discos, noise and chaos that characterize so many seaside towns in summer.

Villa Incantata sits on a hilltop overlooking Kalkan and enjoys spectacular views from 4 terraces. Here you can dine under the stars on the rooftop terrace, or marvel at the breathtaking night views of sea and mountain from one of the lower terraces. Either way, you will be captivated by the lights of Kalkan twinkling below you and the shimmering night sea stretching out to reach the rising moon.

In the morning, from the breakfast terrace you will enjoy watching the sailboats, gulets and diving boats leaving the marina for their daily excursions to the islands.

During the day you can relax around your own private pool, or drive into town and swim in the transparent turquoise waters of Kalkan bay (rock beach). If you fancy 18km of fine sand in an unspoilt archeological setting with no beach hotels to spoil the beauty, you can drive to Patara Beach, 12 km away, or take a dolmus from Kalkan's center town bus station. This beach is one of the lovliest in Turkey and is not at all crowded.

For a change, take a lovely day trip around the islands in a wooden gulet or rent the whole boat for yourself and friends for a very modest price that includes lunch and afternoon tea.

If you like fresh trout, there are several trout farms 8 km up into the mountain forest above you. Here you can eat extremely well in a stunning mountain setting with seaviews for about half the cost of the Kalkan marina restaurants.
