PATARA PRINCE HOTEL
|
As the snows melt on the hills of
the Taurus mountains together with rich minerals they tear down
to the cleanest and most unspoiled antique Kalkan bay where the
unique Patara Prince Resort nestles.
After a 30 years of architectural
experience, my childhood passions of sea and nature is back to
you with an immortal achievement. I am so proud with its unique
landscape and clean ever sea. Millennium Patara is a heritage
that I am leaving to our children and grand children as a
Mediterranean Classic
Mr. Turhan Kāso
Architect, Ms / Designer.

".....Mr.Kažo, an Istanbul architect and
builder, first visited Kalkan in the 1970'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 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 200 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, expressed Patara Prince Resort in
his recent coverage at the New York Times on 21.08.2001 with his
own point of view..
