Zakkum Evi appears to have been sitting in the same spot for a century or more. In fact, it was built recently using local materials (including old stone) and conceived in total accord with the surroundings.

The owners, Cath and Can, are good friends of ours and their aim was to make Zakkum Evi the best villa in Kaya. We leave it to you to decide between Zakkum Evi and their other Kaya creation Levissi Lodge!

Entrance is through a beautiful 150-year-old, intricately-carved, solid wood door. The exterior is very attractive, but it is the interior that is the real revelation. Modern design and excellent taste have been shown throughout.

The garden is a decent size, with a pool and attractive decking area which is shaded by a tree. Lycian and Roman stones are used as decoration in the garden – indeed Kaya’s rich history is a source of inspiration throughout the villa.

Those who enjoy walking are well catered for, with a plethora of trails leading through the valley and into the surrounding mountains and forests. An inclusive car is provided, allowing easy access to the  nearby secluded beach at Gemiler and the hidden delights of the Fethiye peninsula, together with the more commercial attractions of the renowned beach at Ölü Deniz, and the Lycian Coast beyond.
