OVERVIEW |
 |
On the hills of the Taurus
mountains the melting snow combined with rich
minerals stream down the hills, heading towards the
cleanest and most unspoiled ancient bay in Turkey,
Kalkan, in which nestles the unique Patara Prince
Resort.
With 30 years of architectural experience behind me,
my childhood passions for the sea and nature are
reflected in this immortal achievement. I am so
proud of its unique landscape and translucent, clear
sea water. Millennium Patara is a heritage that I am
leaving to our children and grand children as a
Mediterranean Classic

".....Mr.Kaşo, an Istanbul
architect and builder, first visited Kalkan in the
1980's.Though the area contains stunning Lycian
tombs carved into cliffs and other ancient sites, he
was in search of new places to dive. He found
wonderful spots among the small islands outside the
bay and returned many times. For years he dreamed of
building a vacation house here. By the time he
started work in the late 1980's the dream had grown
a bit. The result was Club Patara, a honeycomb of
250 villas and a 60-room hotel nestled on a hillside
across the bay from the village. The development is
a sharp contrast to overbuilt and crowded vacation
villages farther south toward Antalya. Mr. Kaso used
natural stone, abundant greenery and earth tones on
his gently rounded buildings to fit the resort with
the environment. Trees and winding pathways conceal
the houses. I had no desire to destroy what brought
me here in the first place.....

This is how Mr. Douglas Frantz, American journalist,
described Patara Prince Resort in his article in the
New York Times on 21.08.2001. |
