Yazarin Evi

Shops and eateries in Islamlar centre are a walkable 1km from Yazarin Evi, with a local restaurant just a couple of minutes away, and yet this family villa is completely private, with only, a passing shepherd to punctuate its peaceful tempo. Thoughtful design and high standards are in evidence throughout the villa, not least in its positioning for panoramic views of the bay. Stepped into the hillside and entered on the upper level, high timber ceilings crown an open-plan living room, incorporating the kitchen and a cosy lounge area. An open fireplace here is flanked by French doors on to the spacious terrace, where the nine metre swimming pool is joined by a built-in barbecue and al fresco dining area. Two of the villa’s three bedrooms are also at this level, each with en suite shower room; and exterior stairs lead down to landscaped gardens and to the lower floor, home to a snug/TV room, the generous master suite and its large bathroom, and two small balconies with big sea views. Within 9km of pretty Kalkan’s harbour and beach clubs, the villa is 17km from  horse riding on the long sands of Patara.
