POOL:
The pool has an average water temperature of 28°C in the summer months. There is no shallow end so small children need to be supervised at all times. We supply comfortable sun lounges and parasols on the terraces around the pool. Guests should supply their own beach/swimming towels as these are not provided.
OUTSIDE:
At the front of the house there is a pool terrace and BBQ with seating for 8. Subtle lighting or candles if you prefer, add to the ambience for idyllic dining. Because of the elevated position, the staircase and unmade roads leading to the house, it is not ideal for the elderly or infirmed.
THINGS TO DO & SEE:
There are 2 sandy beaches in the immediate vicinity of Kalkan. Kaputas being the first is only 6km drive away east and found at the bottom of a ravine down approx. 100 steps but with the most beautiful turquoise sea. There are no facilities at Kaputas so you must take your own picnic and parasol. Patara is the second sandy beach travelling 19kms west from Kalkan towards Fethiye. It is in a National Park with an abundance of interesting ruins, and was voted one of the world’s best beaches by The Times readers. With 22kms of pure white sand, which stretches as far as the eye can see, it is ideal for a day away from the holiday crowds. The beach is home to a protected species of turtle. Historically it is known as the birthplace of St. Nicholas (Father Christmas) and according to mythology Apollo was also born there. There is only one restaurant, toilets and parasol hire if required. Canoeing and white-water rafting is also available on the Xanthos River.
