Relax in comfort in our upgraded, top-floor apartment on one of the most beautiful resorts in the whole of Turkey, 4* Patara Prince Resort in Kalkan! This apartment has real character together with all the modern facilities you expect - including a fantastic new wetroom with walk-in rainfall shower, ceramic hob, L-shaped sofa, etc. There is a large bougainvillea-covered balcony with beautiful sea and village/harbour views. There are 4 shared pools on the resort for your use and a mini-market is just a stone's throw away. Kalkan has to be one of the most picturesque places on the Turkish coast but Patara Prince Resort is something else. Constructed on white, local stone terraces leading down to the Mediterranean amid abundant semi-tropical gardens, and giving direct access to the sea, Patara Prince Resort is 'Nothing short of a seaside paradise' (Frommers Guide). Enjoy the best of both worlds - peace and tranquillity on the resort together with all the attractions of Kalkan - 100+ restaurants, tasteful boutiques (and recommended by the Independent as a destination of choice, especially for those seeking a romantic vacation) - just a short distance away. June to September is the hot, dry Mediterranean summer when temperatures peak, but spring and autumn are pleasant too and the sea is warm enough to swim, and winter is also excellent as days are often sunny and warm and the snow-covered peaks of the Taurus mountains form an impressive backdrop. Swimming, sun-bathing, sailing, scenery, walking, history - this part of Turkey has it all. Come and see it for yourself now while it's still so unspoilt. You won't be disappointed. It's not a holiday, it's heaven! 'You could imagine yourself on the Cote d'Azur without the pretentiousness. Drive along the mountain-backed road to Kas, and you might be touring the Amalfi coast' THE TIMES Further details indoors: We chose this apartment because we loved its character and the beauty of the celebrated resort where it is situated. But we're constantly working on adding to the property to make your stay more enjoyable. Just this winter, for example, we've introduced a new wetroom with walk-in rainfall shower, kitchen improvements including a top-of-the-range ceramic hob and granite worktop. As well as having a washing machine and flat-screen TV and DVD player, this holiday apartment is also fully air-conditioned in both living area and bedroom as there's nothing worse than not being able to sleep on holiday because you're too hot! There is a large 150cm wide bed in the bedroom, a fitted wardrobe with safety deposit box and a hairdryer. The living area has an L-shaped sofa and a sofabed which converts into a double bed. From the living area French doors open onto the balcony where there is a dining table and chairs and two sun-loungers. To your right is a view of Kalkan and to your left the Mediterranean Sea and Mouse and Snake Islands. The wetroom which is new has a walk-in rainfall shower, hand-basin and toilet; the kitchen, which has just been refurbished, has a sleek black ceramic hob, granite worktop, undermounted sink, fridge and washing machine. There is air-conditioning in both living area and bedroom which can also be switched to provide heating during the cooler months. Further details outdoors: Patara Prince Resort was designed by one of Turkey's top architects and is built on a 60-acre seafront estate with a 200-metre blue-flag private shoreline. As our guests you enjoy use of all 4-star facilities on the resort - sun/sea-bathing platforms, 4 swimming pools (3 outdoor, 1 indoor), water sports, sauna, Turkish bath, beauty salon, hairdresser, tennis courts and kids' club. Wi-Fi available at resort hotel. (Not all facilities/pools available outside of peak holiday season mid-June to mid-September.) PLEASE NOTE: because the resort is built on a hillside and our apartment is at the top of the resort we feel it isn't suitable for anyone with severe walking or other kinds of difficulties when walking uphill. There is a free minibus shuttle service which runs up and down the resort all day for your use but going up and down some steps on the resort is unavoidable. There are three restaurants - where, as our guests you receive 25% discount - and prices can start at just £10 per head for a buffet meal. A free shuttle service runs up and down the resort every few minutes. There is also a water taxi which will ferry you across the bay to Kalkan. The resort is holiday home to international politicians and celebrities and you can also feel safe in the knowledge that there is 24-hour security. http://www.kalkanholiday.iowners.net
