A stunning and pristine rustic boutique hotel with magnificent views out to sea and across the bay, located in the highly desirable Kisla region, Kalkan.
Effortlessly charming, the Fidanka clings to the hillside on one of the most sought after corners of Kalkan bay. This one-of-a-kind boutique hotel purrs with discreet efficiency thanks to it’s well established family team, most of whom have been on board for many years. From the moment you arrive you will be mesmerised by the thrill of the unexpected, fragrant botanical gardens, stunning scenery, divine gastronomic delights and a service that leaves you wanting for nothing.
Hotel Fidanka has been years in the making and is a well established boutique concept created by a family from Istanbul whose life long ambition was to create a lifestyle concept on the coast, embracing their love of nature, flowers, gardens, antiques, art and wholesome organic cuisine. Having worked in other industries for years and holidayed in many places, today they are the proud owners of the Fidanka boutique hotel which they lovingly built and are now pleased to share with guests. Highly regarded for their sincerity and genuine passion for service, the Fidanka is somewhere where you feel like you’ve entered a world that belongs to nobody but yourself.
The hotel itself consists of 17 individually styled rooms and suites. All of which enjoy magnificent terraces, glorious gardens, pool and sea views. The hotel rooms have been carefully created using ancestral cedar wood from neighbouring Taurus mountain villages. Sleeping quarters are housed into several distinctive buildings with bright terracotta- tiled roofs and are perched in a higgledy-piggledy fashion, tumbling down to the swimming pools below.
The focal hub at the Fidanka is the botanical gardens that encase the property and two swimming pools. Embrace the aromatic aromas of resident orange, lemon, olive, pomegranate, tangerine, eucalyptus, avocado, chinaberry, leylandi, mimosa, cypress, pine and many pots of bougainvillea, petunias, daisies, geraniums, begonias- the garden really is somewhat magnificent and there to be enjoyed. There are several strategically placed rattan chairs, day beds and hammocks designed to encourage guests to pause and take in the blissful serene environs.
If you can bring yourself to leave, the Hotel Villa Mahal Beach club is less than a ten minute stroll from the hotel and the charms of elegant Kalkan are equi-distance by car or taxi.
** The Fidanka is an adult only boutique hotel, welcoming children 12 years and older.

The unusual rustic charm, stunning botanical gardens, tranquil surrounds and magnificent views across the bay and out to sea
The beating heart and place to gather at the Fidanka is the main hotel swimming pool, surrounded by serene botanical gardens and endless glistening seascape vistas. While away the hours on a voluptuous lounger with a signature cocktail from the hotel bar which is conveniently open all day. Or listen to the gentle hum of cicadas while being pummelled in the jacuzzi pool.
The Fidanka provides so much more than bricks and mortar, this boutique hotel is a one- of- a kind place to stay offering absolute authenticity. Bursting with history and culture, guests are invited to admire the unique family legacy displayed in the library. Antiques are the owners greatest passion, passed down from generation to generation- they have so much more sentimental value than just physical ornamental decorations. Each piece has it’s own story, carefully collected from within Turkey and the rest of the world and the owners are eager to share their collection and history with each valued guest who they consider to be an extension of their own family.
In our experience, food and travel go hand in hand together. When you recall your favourite journeys and experiences more often than not it is tastes that stay in your mind. Fidanka’s A’ La Carte restaurant is no exception to this and provides guests with an opportunity to discover different flavours, authentic specialities and divine cocktails all served under a magnificent milky-way of stars.
The legendary cuisine is an expression of life at Fidanka and the product of the hotel working with the same reputable chef for many years. Umut Karakuş gradutated from Le Cordon Bleu with a grand diploma, he then went onto specialise in Anatolian cuisine and even established Turkey’s primary spice library as well as winning most innovative chef at the creative chef awards on multiple occasions. Today at Fidanka, Umut pioneers dishes inspired by Anatolian recipes presented with modern European flare and using the finest ingredients from across Turkey and where possible more local regions too.
New for the 2022 season is a second swimming pool located at the rear of the hotel providing another glorious area to rejuvenate in complete tranquility under sunny skies.

We will take care of all the logistics, split centre transfers and for those who wish to self-drive, we also offer this service too.

It is even possible to combine with Istanbul, Cappadocia a guided Lycian Walking Tour or a themed programme tailored to your specific requirements. Call our expert team to utilise their enthusiasm and knowledge- they will be happy to arrange a specific itinerary, transport, guide and excursions.
Inspiration- Our regions and properties
Bodrum
Once a small fishing village, enigmatic Bodrum is a thriving destination offering beautiful beaches and chi-chi beach clubs, a sophisticated and authentic array of bars and restaurants together with a fascinating historical and cultural scene; including a 15th Century castle and architecturally interesting buildings.
The unassuming beauty of the Gulf of Fethiye & Göcek region is accentuated by its accessibility from the airport: just 20 minutes’ drive to Göcek harbour from Dalaman, which brings you straight into the heart of chichi coastal Turkey. It’s another 40 minutes to downtown Fethiye, a lively, working town with a gentrified seafront and one of the finest harbours on the entire coast. Both provide easy access to an archipelago of twelve islands, crystal clear waters and beneficent winds which make for wonderful sailing. Flanked by dramatic, pine-covered mountains and not a high-rise in site, their waterfront settings are exceptional. Beyond the two harbour towns an array of sandy beaches await, including some of Turkey’s best-known (Ölü Deniz) and less discovered finds such as Kabak and Kidrak.
Kalkan is a picturesque harbour town set in a vast horseshoe bay, flanked by a rocky mountainous backdrop. Villa Quintessentially pretty, it’s optimum features include cobbled narrow passageways and colourful Greek houses with low hanging bougainvillea clad balconies. The bustling café culture and artisan boutiques allow for long lingering lunches, followed by a mooch in search of artisan leather goods, fine jewellery and super stylish textiles. Kalkan has an excellent selection of serviced beach clubs which ring the bay making it easy to spend time chilling by the water’s edge. All have a laid back barefoot vibe, most with waiter service and each offering a slightly different experience. Just up the road, Patara is a favourite for all, this long stretch of golden sand will appeal to little people longing to build a sandcastle or two and the breeze makes the intense peak summer heat more endurable. Beyond the dunes sits the ancient Lycian site of Patara which was once an important trading port and the supposed birthplace of St Nicholas.
The Kas Peninsula is a wonderful setting for a holiday: the views across the blue sea to the Greek island of Meis are spectacular and the land slopes down to the rocky coastline where swimming platforms let you plunge straight into the crystal clear water.
Kas is perhaps a little like the ‘big brother’ of Kalkan. Like Kalkan, it has an attractive harbour and winding cobbled streets climbing a hillside. It has a slightly bohemian feel, attracting a range of visitors of different nationalities and ages. The town has a wonderful selection of shops and restaurants, many with charming roof terraces with views over the square and harbour front.
The Bozburun and Datça peninsula’s have a distinctly Greek feel which sets them apart from the rest of coastal Turkey. This is partly because of their proximity to the Greek Southern Dodecanese ring and the island of Symi is just five miles across the strait. Along the roadside is the waft of drying thyme, rosemary and sage as men twiddle worry beads sipping endless cups of Turkish tea. The area is known for its thyme-scented honey which is sold by the roadside.
Istanbul is a spectacular city that you will never tire of. Steeped in ancient history, today it is a café society with a minaret-lined skyline, a confluence of ancient tradition and contemporary delights. It bemuses and amuses in equal measure. The city famously straddles – both geographically and philosophically – Europe and Asia and stimulates every visitor with a melange of the exotic and familiar. Its geographical position alone – at the neck of trading routes between the Mediterranean and Africa – has afforded the city an important trading position since the Byzantine era. And the Golden Horn, nestling within the city, is one of the world’s finest natural harbours.
The Cappadocia National Park region covers over 24,000 square kilometres with a distinct and highly unusual landscape. The valley of Fairy Chimneys is the most popular area, roughly within the triangle formed by the three main towns of the region, Avanos, Urgup and Nevsehir. There’s really no adequate way of conveying the surreal moonscape- the enormity of the skies and awe-inspiring geology is something that can only be truly appreciated in person.
