Stay at this private villa in Kalkan Turkey and visit Fethiye.  79km from Kalkan, on the hillside of Mount Mendos, this lovely town sits on the Turquoise Coast of Turkey.  The coast earns its name because as the sun sets, its waters are the clearest turquoise shade you’ve ever seen. Fethiye has a myriad of things to see and do. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, which prevails along this coastline, you can be leisurely sipping your Turkish tea or Turkish coffee in the town and glance up and see white snow and mist on the mountains in the distance. There is a traditional Turkish market in Fethiye every Tuesday. There are many ancient sites in and around the area from ancient rock tombs to the abandoned village of Kayakoy, which is well worth the trip.

The town itself has everything you need for a rich and varied day out with a wealth of historical and cultural sights and artefacts. Enjoy great shopping in the bazaar with narrow shady streets and tiny squares.  In one of the squares you can choose your fish from a merchant and a local restaurant will cook it for you.  Beautiful Turkish carpets and traditional goods are in abundance.  The marina at Fethiye has an international and opulent air about it. When you add this together with outstanding beaches such as Kaputas & Oludeniz with every kind of water sport, hidden coves and the pine-clad Taurus Mountains, there really is plenty to see.  Places of interest to visit from Kalkan Villas - Turquoise Coast Map.
