A former fishing village of white houses stacked above a small bay, Kalkan now lives off the villas that cover its hills, from Kalamar to Kördere and as far as İslamlar. The big beach at Patara is close by. Here, a heated pool is a common selling point for rentals: the selection keeps the villas that advertise one, with their conditions, and a hotel with a pool heated all year round. I've selected 23 places, all rated at least 8/10; the top-rated is Villa Piraye (4.93/5).
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.
