The Neighborhood:
Kalkan
Kalkan is a perfect escape from the hustle of everyday life! Nestled around a sheltered harbour at the foot of the stunning Taurus Mountains, this charming, unspoiled town boasts a breathtaking bay. Once a Greek fishing village called Kalamaki, Kalkan now thrives on high-end tourism. Wander the quaint old town to discover its picturesque harbour, cozy shops, and delightful eateries—from casual cafés to fine dining. You’ll find banks, supermarkets, a lively Thursday market, and a smaller Sunday market in nearby Akbel. The harbour area has something for everyone: a pebble beach, beach clubs with frequent boat shuttles, water sports, and popular day trips at sea. For a change of pace, take a quick 20-minute drive to vibrant Kas or head to Fethiye for great shopping.
LaVanta
Set in beautifully landscaped gardens with views of Kalkan and the Mediterranean along Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, the gated LaVanta complex is a serene retreat. Just a 4-minute drive (or a brisk 20-minute walk) from town, its elevated spot offers refreshing summer breezes. Enjoy a 25m communal infinity pool, a kids’ plunge pool, sun loungers, and parasols. The LaVanta Clubhouse, with its café and bar, is the perfect place to soak in the stunning hillside views. Plus, the famous Kaputas beach and Patara’s Lycian ruins are only a 10-minute drive away!
