Want to get away to the Mediterranean for a few days, a week or two of perfect "unwind?"
Kalkan is a great place for that. Although it has several small boutique hotels, it has a major supply of charming villas for rent, set amidst fruit trees and fragrant blossoms.

Kalkan beach is accessible from some villas, and Patara, Turkey's longest beach, 20km of sand and dunes, is just a 15-minute drive.
