Islamlar is in the
foothills of the Taurus Mountains, yet close to local restaurants,
and just 15 minutes by car from Kalkan and the coast. This
incredibly beautiful area offers a compelling combination of a
peaceful, utterly unspoilt location with breath taking views and
the convenience of being close to Kalkan. Islamlar village provides
an insight into beautiful rural Turkish life which has remained
unchanged for many years. Full of olive groves and vineyards and
where the flour for the bakery is still ground using an old water
powered mill-stone.
The area has several trout farm
restaurants where they serve simple authentic
Turkish food, bursting with flavour. All ingredients are
locally grown and organic. Small waterfalls, springs and
mountain streams provide constant fresh water giving natural
irrigation and feeding the trout pools that supply the local
restaurants. Prices are lower than at the tourist resorts
and there are wonderful views down the valley to the sea. Notably,
Islamlar is several degrees centigrade cooler than at sea level,
and Kalkan locals use the restaurants as respite from the warmest
summer days.
As our
luxury Islamlar villas are close to
parts of the famous Lycian Way, it is a natural choice for
walkers. At 3000 square feet, and with 4 bedrooms, these
properties are not only very generously proportioned, but the way
the cool and contemporary design connects with the views is nothing
short of spectacular. These villas have been constructed to an
exceptionally high standard and furnished with immense style and
flair, both inside the property and on the extensive terraces, to
make the most of relaxing, dining alfresco, entertaining or just
having a G and T as the sun dips behind the mountains.
As you would expect
the level of amenities at a property of this quality ensure our
guests can relax and rejuvenate, but also wireless internet will
enable you to keep in touch, and the onsite staff will ensure that
should you need them, they are near at hand, available but
unobtrusive.
