Apartment Safak, LaVanta, Kalkan
This Is Kalkan features Apartment Safak.
We are passionate about LaVanta as we live and operate on site.
A beautifully furnished 2 bedroom (sleeping up to 6 guests) apartment located on the beautiful peaceful hillside resort of LaVanta overlooking Kalkan. Furnished and fitted out in a contemporary style. Offering lovely views of the Mediterranean and the surrounding coastline.
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.
The Space:
The open plan living area comprises a fully fitted kitchen equipped with everything you would expect in a holiday home including a sofa bed (which could extend guest capacity to 6), a flat screen TV and DVD player and dining table for 6. The adjoining small private balcony has a small table and seating for two. Adjoining this are 2 sun loungers for relaxing and a small seating area.
Both bedrooms have access to the terrace. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room, a king size double bed, a spacious wardrobe and a chest of drawers. The twin bedroom beds can be used as twins or as a double. There is a tiled shower room with a heated towel rail and beautiful marble mosaic flooring, and there is a further storage area.

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.
