Location
About the surrounding area of Villa EylulVilla Eylul is nestled in Islamlar. Within a few hundred yards, visitors will be able to access cafes, supermarkets and restaurants. Islamlar is know for its locally styled, family run restaurants - the closest is within walking distance. Whether it be beaches, the Salikent National Park, or the Berzigan Plateau, this is a region of stunning and varied natural beauty.
Islamlar is in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, yet close to local restaurants, for a blend of rural beauty along with traditional small town Turkey. The village provides an insight into rural Turkish life which has remained unchanged for generations. Full of olive groves and vineyards and where the flour for the bakery is still ground using an old water-powered millstone. The region is known for its trout farm restaurants
Kalkan and the beaches are only about fifteen minutes distance, whilst the local restaurants serve authentic Turkish food using locally produced organic ingredients.
Away from the glitzy resorts and the bustle of the tourists, Islamlar offers refreshing retreat, being slightly cooler than at sea level; city dwellers head to the Islamlar restaurants for respite from the heat, whilst the region is a natural choice for walkers with the famous Lycian Way. For more classic resort style amenities, Kalkan offers well-heeled restaurants, smart boutiques for shopping, as well as long stretches of sandy beaches with clear waters. Whether it be boat trips, water sports or mooching around local markets, Kalkan has abundant options for visitors to soak up the local flavour whilst enjoying a taste of authentic Turkey.
An incredibly scenic coastal road southwards takes visitors to the pretty town of Kas or, about an hour further on, the fascinating, submerged ruins and historic castle of Kekova-Simena make a delightful destination for a day trip.

Islamlar
Islamlar sits 8 km above Kalkan. Once the place Kalkan folk went to cool off at one of the trout farms built to make use of the mountain’s springs. Today Islamlar houses many a villa, enjoyed by Istanbul Turks who prefer a holiday in slightly cooler and cleaner air. Here the locals grow grapes and pomegranates, but you’ll mainly see the men sat gossiping next to the local teahouse. The trout farms remain a place to come for a wonderful fresh meal, or a breakfast consisting of fresh local fare. The rocket will be the freshest & most tasty you’ve ever had; and the fresh chips cooked in olive oil take some beating.

A wonderful house
We were lucky enough to stay in Ilkay’s wonderful house for a week and a half in August.
Islamlar is a peaceful and yet dramatic setting, at the base of the Taurus mountains, and the villa’s high setting affords an excellent view all the way down to the coast. The villa itself is expansive - spacious, a well cared for garden, a fantastic pool - but also cosy, being lived in as well as rented. As a result, facilities like cookware are top notch. And if you struggle to light the BBQ, as I did, Hatice, the consistently brilliant housekeeper, will cheerfully do it for you!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and I’d highly recommend Villa Eylul to anyone. Thanks Ilkay, and Hatice. -
Be sure to try it. You will be happy.
We stayed in this paradise villa between 19 -26 September. A wonderful villa with its nature and view, where you will discover beauty in every detail. You feel in a different world from the first moment with its perfect garden landscape and architecture in the middle of pine trees. It is in a perfect location in nature, with a variety of fruit trees. The owners have displayed extremely beautiful and aesthetic touches in every corner of the house. I thank them and recommend this wonderful experience to everyone.

Absolutely Very Good
I'm writing on the way back. I didn't think that no one else would know about it and we would just rent it. Neither the photos nor the comments can fully explain its peace, its beauty, or its colours. Be assured that whatever is written is too little. We stayed as 3 children and 4 couples. If you want to spend a holiday surrounded by greenery, away from crowds, concrete and noise, and truly surrounded by peaceful nature, do not hesitate, come now. The pool is beautiful, ideal size, both children and adults had a lot of fun, it was very peaceful to walk among the trees, especially the view is wonderful, you can sip your coffee peacefully and quietly at sunset. How should we describe the house? There is air conditioning everywhere, but there is no need for it. It is cool, spacious, and has a beautiful architecture where every corner has been well thought out. The kitchen has everything you might need. You can easily prepare meals for 4-5 people at the same time. Items are OK. The seating group is comfortable and useful. We were usually out, but the dining table was enough for a large family like us. There was a fireplace in that living room, we really wondered what it would be like in autumn and winter. The beds are large, spacious and very comfortable. Shower and WC in the rooms are problem-free. I'm writing but I can't share the feelings, smell and texture, so as soon as I saw it, I said there was nothing to write, and that's what happened to me. Be sure to come. The onsite team helps in everything. We will definitely come again.

For a Great Holiday
Before entering the villa, I had hesitations because there were few reviews. With the initiative, the magnificent architecture of the villa, its peaceful garden and landscaping immediately cleared up my hesitations. But why were there no comments on such an amazing villa! Because most of the customers were foreigners, there was no room left for Turks. Me and my family were really lucky to be able to holiday here. There are no settlements around, so you are the king of the forest. The seating and atmosphere in the garden is magnificent. The pool is a blessing for conservative families, the best alternative to escape from villas closed with sheets. In fact, the entire villa, every room, and its garden are a blessing for conservative families. We entered as 2 families and 1 baby. The villa is very large, it has 4 separate rooms and 1 children's room. Later, 2 more families joined, but believe me, the villa still remained empty. The onsite team met our every need, this must be what they call helpfulness. They always called and asked if we needed anything. It was a wonderful holiday that I can't finish writing about here. It cannot be explained, it is experienced.

Perfect
We had a very enjoyable and comfortable holiday in the villa we went to as a family of 3 (6 adults + 3 children). Although the road to the house seems far away, it is actually 10-12 minutes away from all the famous beaches. It is like a chalet away from humidity and noise, the view and the garden are amazing, the pool is much larger than it appears in the picture, there are all kinds of fruits in the garden and it is very enjoyable to pick them from the branches and eat them. Also, everything has been considered for your comfort, the house is very nicely decorated, the kitchen utensils are more than necessary. It was a lot, we didn't miss anything, the garden terrace was incredibly big and beautiful, we spent our evenings chatting happily, the owner of the house was very attentive, he called almost every day and asked if we were missing anything, and thanks to our boat tour, we did it for half the price :) Highly recommended for those going on holiday. The children and we both wanted the holiday to never end.

It is much more luxurious and high quality than it looks
First of all, we are a family of 7. My younger brother and I liked this place and rented it after getting the approval of other family members. When we arrived from Sakarya, we liked the town very much, even though everyone was tired and sleepless. Then they took us to the house where we would stay. The road seemed very long to us, even though it was a path and a winding road. But after seeing the house, everyone said I'm glad you found this place. It's really very comfortable, spacious, clean, hygienic (I had a 9-month-old baby, this was very important for me) You can swim in the pool in the greenery, it seems like a distance. But everything comes to you with a phone call. If there is even the slightest problem, the housekeeper comes right away. I definitely recommend it. We, as a family, are very satisfied.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
