Villa Barinak location
View of the Bay as you arrive in Kalkan.
Villa Barinak is located on the Kalamar Road, on the quiet outskirts of the picturesque fishing village of Kalkan, which is set in the heart of the old Lycean region. The location is the best of both worlds: a peaceful setting with Kalkan's centre a short walk away.
Elixir Hotel
The villa is situated at the front of a small select development of privately owned villas and apartments. The site has 24-hour security and maintenance, as well as an excellent maid service (linen change twice weekly).
As the site is in a slightly elevated position, the villa affords lovely views of the bays and surrounding hills. Athough the road up to the complex from the Kalamar Road is quite steep, another new connecting road has been built that goes from the complex towards the marketplace, which is less steep.
The nearest shop is just round the corner on the Kalamar Road and it stocks fresh bread, fruit, veg, etc. Several supermarkets are in the centre of Kalkan.
At the bottom of the complex road, there is the excellent Elixir Hotel and villa guests may make use of their two pools and jacuzzi. They also have a bar and restaurant. They also have a full Turkish bath & massage facility. Guests may also make use of the super facilities at the nearby Asfiya Hotel. For more info on local beaches, visit our 'Sun n Sea' page.
Asfiya Pool
For those who just can't be parted from their laptops, the villa offers broadband connection (wifi and cable).
There are several banks with ATMs, dispensing Euros or Turkish Lire. The Post Office also has a currency exchange.
If you're feeling adventurous, the Turkish public transport system is worth trying! There is an overnight coach to Istanbul (about 12 hours), or you could just hop on one of the numerous dolmus minibuses that depart regularly for Patara, Kas, Fethiye and many other destinations.
The villa is about a 15 minute stroll from the centre of Kalkan and beach, however taxis are plentiful for those feeling less energetic.
