There’s something incredibly romantic about standing at the edge of an infinity pool and looking out over sweeping views of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast. In this home, perched in the verdant green hills of Kalkan, you’ll experience that joy and tranquillity for yourself as you wade into the crystalline waters every day. Killing two birds with one stone, you’ll not only cool down in the sizzling Mediterranean heat but also feel the last dregs of stress melt away at the sight of that vista. Behind you, on the terrace, is where you can enjoy sunbathing in one of the loungers or playing table tennis between alfresco meals at the patio table. Bookworms can nestle into the egg chair with a novel until it’s time to light the barbecue for a grilled lunch. Understanding how hard it would be to leave the oceanviews behind, the floor-to-ceiling windows ensure that you can keep your eyes trained on the horizon even when you’re enjoying a dip in the heated indoor pool. Next to it is where you’ll find the sauna – a perfect way to start the day with a serotonin boost. Walk to the beach and visit the Kalkan market every Thursday. Take boat trips, find the ruins of amphitheatres and enjoy drinks at one of the local bars.
