Formerly known as Bodamya, meaning “between the rivers,” İslamlar Village appears about 15–20 minutes after following the winding roads uphill from Kalkan. Thanks to its higher elevation, the village is always around 4–5 degrees cooler than the coastline, making it a true “natural air conditioner” during the hot summer months.
