Villas Jasmine I & II

TurkeyKalkan and Kas › Kalkan

Situated in the sought-after Kisla area, these two-bedroom villas each have their own pool and enjoy lovely views across the bay to Kalkan

Situated in the quiet Kisla area of Kalkan, just a short walk up from the rocky shore, these recently built villas enjoy magnificent views across the beautiful bay of Kalkan and along the coast. Attractively designed in traditional style - with wrought-iron balconies and balustraded terraces - Villas Jasmine I and II stand next to one another but each has its own enticing swimming pool.

Quality fixtures and furnishings make the interiors a real home-from-home. The kitchens come complete with a full cooker, a refrigerator and a dishwasher, as well as the all-important electric kettle, and a washing machine is provided in the downstairs cloakroom. There are comfy sofas and armchairs in the living rooms for anyone who should wish to watch the satellite TV or listen to music on the CD player. The upper floor of each villa comprises two bedrooms (one double and one twin) and a very attractively tiled shower room. All bedrooms benefit from air-conditioning, and the double room opens onto a small balcony with side seaview.

Situated on a raised terrace below the villas, the swimming pools are every bit as appealing, although Jasmine I's pool is rather larger than its neighbour's. The surrounding sun-terraces have been paved with attractive marble, and proper wooden sunloungers invite you to relax and savour the splendid views out to sea. So that you can keep any interruptions to your sunbathing schedule to a minimum, showers and a WC are provided at the pool level. For those who prefer swimming in the sea, Jasmine's owners have created a lovely little swimming platform and sunbathing area on the edge of the sea just 100 metres or so from the villa (partially along some steep steps), which is shared the Bay View Residence.

For those occasions when only a proper sandy beach will do, both the narrow cove of Kaputas and the seemingly endless sands at Patara can easily be reached using your complimentary hire car, which also comes in handy for visiting Kalkan's numerous restaurants and enticing shops.
