Samira Exclusive Hotel & Apartments

If you’re looking for somewhere to stay on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast that offers plenty of sun, pristine beaches and a peaceful, low key vibe, with ample places to eat and drink, Kalkan is an excellent choice. This hotel is ideally located in the town centre, just a 10-15 minute walk from the picturesque harbour, where you’ll find lots of yachts, fishing boats and restaurants with terraces looking out towards the sea. 

As well as a small, white pebble beach just next to the harbour, you’ll also have access to the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool, which has a separate children’s swimming area and a snack bar on the side. Take a taxi or a dolmus (minibus) to Patara Beach, a little further along the coast, and you’ll find one of the most alluring stretches of golden sand in the region, fringed by rolling dunes and offering spectacular views of the Taurus Mountains in the distance.

The apartments themselves are well-equipped and tastefully furnished, each one fitted with a kitchen, a television, air conditioning, wi-fi and a private balcony – perfect for families, friends and couples alike.
