Villa Aysel in Kalkan

Although located closer to Kalamar Bay than Kalkan, the walk from Villa Aysel to the Old Town is relatively easy as the road is on a fairly even level throughout, largely free of the dips and rises that usually characterise a Kalkan pathway.

Built to a high standard by Paula and Metin – who also own the Villa Kalan next door and the prestigious Villa Alev – this villa has their customary personal touch that makes it feel more of a home than a rental property. It has a fresh white-tiled kitchen, an open-plan living and dining room with French doors to the terrace and pool, and also offers satellite TV and DVD.

Air-conditioned throughout, the villa sleeps up to eight in four double bedrooms over two floors. There are front and side balconies from the various bedrooms - some with en suite facilities and a large roof terrace - with panoramic views across the bay to Mouse and Snake Islands. Well-placed windows ensure the villa is always airy and flooded with light.
