Located in the heart of Kalkan’s historic old town on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, Gumruk Evi is a characterful property that once formed part of the 1854 Kalkan Customs House. This three-storey villa, originally built as a pension and pub, has been carefully restored to provide modern comforts including air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a rooftop plunge pool.
The property offers three en-suite bedrooms and can accommodate up to six guests, making it suitable for families or groups. The exterior reflects traditional Ottoman-style architecture, featuring wooden shutters and French doors that lead to terraces and balconies with sea views. Inside, the design blends rustic elements with a neutral palette and selected decorative artefacts, creating a calm and understated atmosphere.
On the ground floor, the open-plan living area includes a seating space with leather furniture, a flat-screen satellite TV, and a wood-burning stove. The adjoining kitchen is equipped with standard appliances and a water cooler. A six-seater dining table provides space for indoor meals.
The first floor contains two bedrooms: one with a double bed and sea-view balcony, and the other with twin beds. Both include storage and private marble bathrooms with walk-in showers. The top floor is home to the master suite, which also features a sea-view balcony and an en-suite shower room.

Location:
The delightful Gumruk Evi can be found in the landmark 1854 Customs House, in the heart of the old town of the exclusive holiday resort of Kalkan, on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast. It’s a one hundred and twenty-five kilometre drive through the Turkish countryside from Dalaman International Airport to your unique holiday home. The villa is within sight of the sea, the nearest public beach is a short walk away, beach clubs populate the coastline, and boats leave the harbour daily for fabulous fun days on the ocean waves.
The charming old town of Kalkan has cobbled streets, traditional whitewashed houses festooned in colourful bougainvillaea, and home to a reputed one hundred and fifty restaurants, cafes, and bars, enticing souvenir shops, and designer brand stores stuffed with objects of desire. After dark, dine in one of the famous rooftop restaurants with stunning harbour and sea views, sampling traditional Turkish delights and international cuisine. A five-minute walk into Kalkan’s new town will take you to supermarkets, banks, and a local Thursday market.
Travel further afield to the stunning Kaputas Beach, set in a natural gorge, or take a trip to Patara, where you will find twenty kilometres of unspoilt golden sands and a protected area for the hatching Caretta Caretta turtles. Patara also boasts an archaeological site over two thousand years old, with two ancient amphitheatres and the most stunning sunsets, best seen from the ever-changing sand dunes.
The Lycian Way cuts through Kalkan, trek the trail taking you through major archaeological sites, local villages, dramatic coastlines, and the areas’ flora and fauna. Whilst the Ottoman town of Kas is a twenty-five minute drive along one of the world’s most stunning coastlines.
