Kalkan

Last summer we went on a family holiday to celebrate my parents' 30th wedding anniversary. We rented a stunning villa (Villa Lavender, through The Turquoise Collection) in Islamar, which is at the bottom of Taurus Mountains and 15 minutes away from Kalkan and the sea. 

It was predominantly a beach holiday but there is plenty to see and do in the area. Here are some of the things we did...

1) Chartered a traditional Turkish gulet for the day

2) Spent the day at one of Kalkan's many beach clubs (we went for Villa Mahal)

3) Visited Xanthos, the capital of ancient Lycia

4) Enjoyed a massage at The Likya Residence Spa

5) Trekked through the Saklikent Gorge and then went rafting down the Sakklikent River
