Kalkan

Kalkan is an enchanting place and one of the most beautiful locations along Turkey's gorgeous Lycian Coast.  With the absence of mass tourism, Kalkan remains a charming and unspoiled haven of lush nature, brilliant blue crystal-clear sea, historic architecture, ancient history and warm traditional Turkish hospitality. 

A small peaceful Mediterranean resort and fishing town on the beautiful Turquoise Coast of Turkey, Kalkan has not been touched by mass tourism.  More sophisticated than the usual resort town, Kalkan appeals to travellers looking for more than a "sun and sea" holiday. According to the Sunday Times, Kalkan attracts the kind of visitor who would also enjoy Tuscany or the Dordogne.  The Guardian likens the town to "the Italian Riviera minus the poseurs."

Besides the famous "Kalkan Style" historic architecture, the many excellent restaurants of Kalkan contribute to the special atmosphere within Kalkan.  Good dining has always been the way of life in Kalkan and continues today.  In fact, Kalkan is said to have the highest number of restaurants and bars per inhabitant or square meter on the Turkish coast (over 100 of them!).  Additionally, Kalkan is especially renowned in Turkey for its numerous roof terrace restaurants and bars which offer a wonderful view of the town, sea and stars.  It's also nice to sit at one of the many fine harbour-side restaurants and watch the pleasure boats and fishermen leave early in the morning as you eat your breakfast, or see the fishing boats return with the day's catch in the evening.
Because of its great charm, Kalkan has a growing number of perennial visitors who say the town is the only holiday destination they would choose to visit repeatedly.  There is simply no other town quite like Kalkan along Turkey's coast.

Fethiye

Fethiye, Calis (in Turkish "Çaliþ" & pronounced "Chalish", is a quiet yet busy holiday resort, with a seemingly endless beach. Bars and restaurants line the beach area, which is block paved along the seafront. The resort is very flat, so is ideal for people with mobility restrictions. Calis has its own waterpark too. Parts of the beach are also popular with the local turtle population, who come in to lay their eggs in the sand. Fethiye (Telmessos) rests on a broad Mediterranean bay boasting some of Turkey's best beaches and yachting. 

The wide swath of Çalis Beach, several kilometers long, is only 5 km (3 miles) northeast of Fethiye. Besides the beach, visitors like the day-long 12-Island yacht cruise of the bay, especially the stop at Gemile Island, covered in unrestored Byzantine ruins. Boats depart every day in the warm months from Fethiye's busy yacht harbour. Some 2400 years ago, Fethiye (FET-hee-yeh) was the prominent town of Telmessos, but earthquakes have left only a few Lycian stone sarcophagi from the old town, along with the dramatic Tomb of Amyntas carved into the sheer rock cliff high above the town.

Bodrum

It is difficult to say exactly what it is that keeps people returning year after year to their Bodrum accommodation - cheap prices, fantastic beaches, great nightlife or the ancient monuments which adorn the countryside. The whole area is blessed with an atmosphere and lifestyle which is impossible to ignore, and if you take a Bodrum Villa for your holiday once, you are almost certain to be seen in Bodrum for many holidays to come.

Gumusluk is a tiny village at the tip of the Bodrum Peninsula about 30 minutes drive from city center. But its quiet is the antidote of Bodrum. Getting away from it all... The road coming from Bodrum ends in the middle of two adjacent coves separated by the tiny island (you can walk to the island when the tide is low).  This traditional fishing village offers visitors the chance to relax in peaceful surroundings with its unique flora and appealing landscape.

 
Gundogan is situated at only a few minutes drive in the west of Yalikavak. Gondogan, ancient Farilya, has been always an important town for fishing, sponge diving, olive and tangerine growing. Unfortunately, some of those activities stopped in the recent years.

Gundogan Beach, which is one of the longest in Bodrum peninsula, it is beautifully situated among the tangerine, olive and pine trees. Nearby Rabbit and Apostol islands attract many visitors. Yali Mosque with its attractive Minaret and wind mills are interesting to see. Gundogan bay is quite suitable for sailing and surfing. It is very attractive area for sponge diving and underwater photograph.

Amalfitana

There are many reasons to choose to holiday to the Amalfi Coast. The beautiful beaches, amazing views, fabulous restaurants and important architectural and historical sites are just a few examples  as well as the wide range of private self-catering apartments and luxury villas for the perfect holiday.  The Amalfi Drive is 48 km of coastal road that has oft been featured in many movies. The drive provides amazing views, but its twists and turns are not for the faint of heart.  Ischia and Capri guard the mouth of the Bay of Naples, Italy, with one on either end. Whilst they are geographically pretty similar, there are marked differences between the two. Ancient walls and houses cling impressively to shear cliffs which drop straight into the sea, which gives the islands a timeless appeal.  Ischia is the larger of the two islands, and there is a great choice in self-catering apartments tucked away on the hillsides with excellent views and private villas with pools that that your holiday in Ischia will be a memorable and relaxing experience!

 
Ravello is a beautiful town on the Amalfi Coast perched high above the coast.  A self-catering apartment or villa in Ravello offers its guests some of the finest views in the whole of Campania.  Ravello has become very popular with honeymooners, as there is an unavoidable sense of natural beauty and peace throughout the town. The two large botanical gardens, Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo are marvels of tropical vegetation, offering stunning views over the Mediterranean as well as a delightfully peaceful place to walk. There are a huge number of routes throughout the Campanian countryside and along the Amalfi Coast, and there are plenty of fantastic bars, restaurants and cafes in which to find some refreshment after long hours in Ravello walking.
