This Is Kalkan features Villa Cole.
We are passionate about LaVanta as we live and operate on site.
Only a short drive from the centre of the historic old town, the villa offers everything you need for a family holiday.
The open plan living area is light and airy with a double height ceiling and double doors leading onto the private terrace, now with its new swimming pool (2019). The kitchen is fully equipped with all modern appliances. A gas BBQ has been provided for those nights you choose to enjoy al fresco dining. There is also a sofa bed in the living room.
The master bedroom is on the first floor with an en-suite shower room and full length windows enabling you to wake up to the beautiful view!
The second twin bedroom also has its own shower room and is located on the ground floor with double doors leading onto the terrace and pool.
The villa has been finished to the highest standard with air-conditioning in all rooms.
LaVanta offers the best of both worlds – a peaceful hillside location where you can just relax and chill out, but only a short drive to the hustle and bustle of Kalkan, with its unrivalled selection of first class restaurants and bars.
Kalkan plays host to a stunning marina, where guests can partake in water-sports including private or shared boat hire for day trips to the surrounding islands and beaches. A mere 20 minute drive from Lavanta, takes you to the golden sands and remarkable ruins of Patara beach, an acclaimed area of natural beauty and nesting ground of the Loggerhead turtles.
This 3 bedroom villa in Lavanta Kalkan, is the ideal base for both relaxation and adventure, whichever takes your fancy.

The Neighborhood:
KALKAN
As a retreat from the rigours of modern life, Kalkan is little short of idyllic!
Nestled round a sheltered natural harbour at the foot of the majestic Taurus Mountains, this unspoilt historic town overlooks a bay of breathtaking beauty.
A thriving Greek fishing village called Kalamaki until the 1920s; Kalkan is now largely devoted to high-end tourism.
Look out for Kalkan's charms in the compact old town including the picturesque harbour, shops, and various eateries including cafés, bars and high-end restaurants.
The town is well served by banks and supermarkets. There is a large Thursday market in town and a smaller local market in the neighbouring village of Akbel on a Sunday.
The harbour area caters for all including a small pebbly beach, beach clubs (many of which can be reached by a frequent boat shuttle service) and not forgetting the very popular past-time of a day at sea on one of the many daily boat trips.
LAVANTA
The gated complex that is LaVanta is set within beautiful landscaped gardens overlooking Kalkan and the Mediterranean on Turkey's Turquoise coast.
It is a 4-minute drive (or an energetic 20 minute walk) to the centre of town. Its height above sea level means that it benefits from cooling breezes in the height of the summer. There is a large 25m communal infinity pool, and the Papatya Café (managed by Debbie and Erhan) that offers hot and cold food and drinks throughout the day and a place to enjoy the magnificent hillside setting.
The world-renowned Kaputas beach and Patara, with its Lycian ruins are both only a 10-minute drive.
Getting Around:
You can access the town via the very reliable local taxi service. Call 805 from the telephone in your property. Be sure to give the name of the property “at LaVanta”.
If you wish to venture further, the taxi service can take you to many of the popular tourist attractions. However, should you wish to hire a car, the This Is Kalkan team can make all the necessary arrangements on your behalf.
