Cactus 220 Patara Prince

The apartment is in a very quiet area. It has access to a shared swimming pool, a west facing garden, a west facing patio area, sea views, panoramic views, a tennis court. If you are driving there is private parking with the outside areas of the house having external lighting. Our air-conditioned ground floor apartment, set in a small secluded garden, forms part of the Patara Prince Resort, which is situated on a 60 acre secluded sea front estate along Kalkan Bay. With a private 200 metre coastal shore, this unique resort has been described as a classic in the Mediterranean. In the well-established gardens of the resort are jasmines, bougainvilleas, olive, rubber, palm and mimosa trees, nicotiana, hibiscus, datura, geraniums, banana plants and numerous varieties of cacti. Across the bay from the Patara Prince Resort lies Kalkan, a small, peaceful resort and fishing town, untouched by mass tourism and more sophisticated than the usual resort town. The narrow cobbled streets twist down to the harbour, with old whitewashed houses situated alongside small local specialty shops and restaurants. Some buildings still retain their original carved Ottoman Greek timber balconies. Unlike other Turkish coastal resort towns, Kalkan's main economy is tourism and therefore its citizens put much pride and effort into the town's historic preservation. Good dining has always been the way of life in Kalkan and is especially renowned in Turkey for its numerous roof terrace restaurants and bars. We would personally recommend the Korsan Marina Restaurant, situated on the waterfront to the left of the harbour, overlooking the beach and Kalkan bay. They also offer a takeaway service and a wonderful drink called mint lemonade. Absolutely delicious and not to be missed! We would also recommend the Aubergine Restaurant, situated beside the harbour. Their food is delicious, especially the wild boar. The people of Kalkan are very welcoming and this, along with warm Turkish hospitality is the basis of life. Please don't hesitate to accept one of the many tulip-shaped glasses of tea you will be offered while you stroll along the winding streets of Kalkan. If you are looking for noisy, wild nightlife, you will not find it in Kalkan.
