Hillside hideaway in Kalkan
Expect warm, welcoming hospitality at this family-run boutique hotel, nestled on a hillside just above the centre of Kalkan – a charming, laid-back town on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, at the foot of the Taurus Mountains.
There’s a delightful pebbled beach just a 10-15 minute walk away, and the town is home to a plentiful choice of bars, cafes and restaurants which you’ll find among its picturesque cobblestone streets and along the waterfront. Back at the hotel, the outdoor pool and sun terrace is a prime relaxation spot looking out towards the bay down below.
Tuck into a delicious Turkish breakfast by the pool in the mornings, and if you fancy eating in later on, choose between an à la carte dinner at the poolside restaurant or on the rooftop, which puts on a barbecue service on weekends (reservation required). The rooftop doubles up as a bar, too – the perfect place to start or finish your night, and to catch those glorious sunset views.
Just so you know, there's no lifts in this property so it may not be suitable for guests with walking difficulties.

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.
