Islamlar is nestled in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, offering an insight into beautiful rural Turkish life which has remained unchanged for many years. Bursting with olive groves and vineyards, the village continues in the same way it has for the last 100 years. The bakery flour is still ground using an old water-powered millstone - a stunning setting that captures times gone-by, while being close to all the well-heeled beach clubs and restaurants of Kalkan. The area has several trout farm restaurants where simple, authentic Turkish food is served, bursting with flavour. In the summer months, the Kalkan locals head to Islamlar for respite from the heat, as it is several degrees cooler than at sea level. Close by is the famous Lycian Way the village is natural choice for walkers. Kalkan is a historically enchanting place, remaining an unspoiled haven of luscious nature, crystal-clear azure sea, historic architecture, ancient history and warm traditional Turkish hospitality. Known for its proximity to ancient Lycian sites (around 20 major sites) and endless watersports options, including boat trips out on traditionalgulets(wooden fishing boats), this spectacular region has something for everyone, and is mostly free of mass tourism. The bohemian town of Kas is only thirty-minute drive away, with ancient ruins scattered around the town and a small, well-preserved Hellenistic amphitheatre, while Fethiye is well worth a visit, for its local colourful market life.
