Sea-view stay in charming Kalkan
Perched above Kalkan’s glittering bay, the Asfiya Sea View Hotel nails the holiday essentials: unbeatable sea views, a short stroll to town, and a beach club spot you’ll want to brag about. It’s a 10-minute wander to both the harbourfront restaurants and the lively Old Town – the perfect base for exploring Turkey’s Turquoise Coast at your own pace.
The star of the show here is the large pool and sun-drenched terrace. Sink into a daybed, order a cocktail from the poolside bar, and let the Mediterranean breeze do its thing. Prefer a salty dip? Guests get free access to Likya Gardens Beach Club, just 10 minutes away, with parasols on rocky platforms and waiter service on tap. Kalkan isn’t your average seaside town. Think cobbled lanes, bougainvillea-clad balconies, and over 100 restaurants packed into a charming harbour village. By day, hit Kaputas beach or hop on a boat trip. By night, grab a rooftop table, order meze and watch the sunset do its thing.
Food here hits the spot. Breakfast is a leisurely affair on the terrace – think local cheeses, fresh fruits, and eggs any way, and just-squeezed juices. Light lunches keep things fresh and seasonal by the pool. For dinner, stroll to the nearby Likya Pavilion for à la carte dining or dive into Kalkan’s foodie scene.
If you like your holidays with knockout views, lazy lunches, and sunset cocktails by the sea, the Asfiya Sea View Hotel should be top of your list.

Find out more about Kalkan
Old-fashioned charm meets cosmopolitan flair in this fishing village turned trendy seaside resort. Stretching up the hillside from the harbour, the views out over the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean are straight off a postcard. The Old Town is all about whitewashed houses and local bistros, while the promenade is bang up to date with its stretch of trendy bars and restaurants.
Kalkan getaways are all about embracing the Turquoise Coast and the laidback vibe. Head for the harbour and hop on a boat to see what all the fuss is about – or better yet get up-close-and-personal with the Mediterranean with a spot of scuba diving. The Blue Flag beach is a small-but-perfectly-formed pebble number with sun loungers and is perfect for catching a few rays.
The bay is the star of the show when it comes to wining and dining in Kalkan. Restaurants have snagged many of the rooftops up the hill for a view that’s hard to beat. Enjoy plates of fresh, local produce and a chilled glass of wine as you watch the sunset on the horizon.
