“A brilliant family holiday and amazing villa” We had a fantastic time staying at Villa Iris. It was everything that Huw and Sharon promised it would be and more. The views are stunning, the villa is large, clean and really well presented. We have had a few villa holidays before and this was the best villa by far. The pool is where the kids spent most of their time and it is ideal for a family. Patara beach is amazing and one of the best we've ever been lucky enough to visit. It does get busy near the cafe during the day but later in the afternoon, or slightly away from the cafe, there is miles of space and shallow safe swimming. Kalkan itself is a wonderful town with over 200 restaurants. We ate mostly by the harbour where the views are lovely. We found every restaurant to be friendly and the food good.

“Ideally located in Kalkan” To an extent this apartment under sells one of its best features, its location. I had not appreciated how hilly Kalkan was until our stay. A 10min walk to the harbour turns into a 30 min return journey. Taxi cabs make a fortune ferrying people back to their apartments and Villas. This apartment has three banks, a super market and a gym within a very short distance from its door. When you need bottled water each day, the practicalities of this apartment are quickly realised. It has lovely views of Kalkan and the bay which are spectacular in both day and night. The sun terrace, the swiming pools and the friendliness of the neighbours made for a really relaxing and enjoyable stay. You will not go wrong with this apartment. My advice however would be if you are renting a hire car, make sure it is powerful enough for the hills of Kalkan. Do make sure also you visit Saklikent Gorge and do include a boat trip in your itinerary.

“Holiday heaven, did not won't to come home.” Beautiful villa, excellent views, It felt like being at home. We were so comfortable and relaxed. Having never experienced a villa holiday before I can quite honestly say I would be quite reluctant to go to a hotel again. We loved it so much we have booked it again for next year. Kalkan is a lovely town, restaurants galore and very friendly people.The villa is sited on a hill so you get a lovely breeze from the sea. The pool is gorgeous, the feeling of privacy is excellent. The villa has a lovely little landscaped garden and all mod cons, so staying in is just as nice as going out. Although we did not go afar, we did go to Patara beach just 15 mins away which was lovely. There are lots of excursions that are easily arranged by yourselves in the town itself. Local beach clubs are a short boat ride away. The transfer which the villa owner arranged for us was very reasonable, comfortable and on time on arrival and return. Kalkan and Villa Limon know how to take care of its guests!

“beautiful villa with helpful owner and property manager” Serenity 2 is a fantastic villa and perfect for what we were looking for. As a group of 10 friends looking for a relaxing Summer holiday in the sun, we couldn't have asked for more. From first getting in touch with the owner, she was incredibly helpful - sending over helpful information, arranging transfers and helping one of our party who was arriving separately. The villa itself is near perfect. The photos give a good representation of what to expect but really have to see it to appreciate it. I don't think I can add much more than what others have said here - it really is a great place to stay and it could often be hard to drag ourselves away and into town. Billy, the property manager in Kalkan was more than helpful. He really couldn't do enough to help us - bringing water, giving reccommendations and even giving us a lift in his car. Nothing was too much trouble and his help made a massive difference. The only real negative for some people could be the distance from town. It's a good 20 minute walk, even at a realtively brisk pace. With the villa being set quite a way up a hill, it'd take even longer to walk back up! We resorted to taxis every time - they're relatively inexpensive though so it's not too bad. All in all, a wonderful experience. Highly reccommended and really good value too.

“Amazing views, amazing apartment, amazing holiday” The apartment is very spacious and very well decorated. It has all the amenities required for a self catering holiday. The balcony is one of the largest in the building, and provides you with wonderful views of the sea and Kalkan town. A BBQ on the balcony is a welcome bonus! Also the ottoman style seating is perfect to relax in the evenings or for a break from the sun during the day. There are plenty of sunloungers by the pool, and the pool is never really busy. The apartment is located a 10 minute walk from the centre of Kalkan, or you can get a taxi there for about £5. I would recommend this apartment to all couples or families looking for a luxury, peaceful holiday. It's a gem!

“Home from home in a breathtaking location..good for the soul” It's no surprise that every review is grand here. The apartment is just lovely. Amply equipped with everything you might need, including a fantastic selection of books and DVD's, lots of UK plug adapters too ( we never used ours!)bathroom hairdryers that really are efficient, even things like salt and pepper in mills, bits n bobs that others have kindly left as did we ( including a box of sugar cubes that'll last about a year by the way!) . The welcome pack was a lovely surprise, soft, beautiful Turkish bread, delicious cheese and succulent fat tomatoes, flavour bursting little cucumbers, butter portions and jam, a pint of milk, teabags and some sachets of coffee.Plus two litre bottles of water. Very thoughtful and generous. The apartment is over two levels.. the master bedroom on the upper floor is stunning. You can lie in bed at with the curtains open, floor to ceiling window with sliding patio door , mesh screen across if you want to listen to the sounds of the boats chuggng across the beautiful bay.. at night you can lie and be mesmerised by the Moon on the sea, the fairy lights of the town across the bay. We loved to hear the brief but soulful chanting from the Mosque over in the town..it was so soothing, and we even recorded it, although we are not religious, this was just so atmospheric. Downstairs the living room/kitchen is a good size with comfortable sofa/daybeds ..when it got a bit hot, we retreated there to read a bit..or to surf..using the fantastic WiFi dongle Judy kindly leaves in a wee green plastic box just under the TV shelf. This costs only 30TL = £10 to top with a 1GB. Four of us were able to use and not use up that allowance in our week there. So easy to go into the Turkcell shop in the town and just give the "mobile dongle" number Judy leaves very prominently placed to the staff and it's topped up magically by the time you get back to the apartment and switch it on..just the same as a PAYG top up anywhere. This permitted use of the local network is SO much cheaper than roaming costs anywhere in the world, so thankyou Judy!. Jim and I are self employed and were able to stay connected while we chilled out! Jim had several business enquiries ( he is a woodcarver and an artist) which he very promptly dealt with, then got back on with topping up his tan! It is a lovely apartment, and the rear courtyard is a nice place to have meals, too, while the second bedroom, which we only used twice when one of us was a bit restless ( lol..read snoring ;-) ).. is large and spacious and its bathroom is up to the same fine standard as the master bedroom. The town is a steep walk down. I would say that if you have any aches n pains around mobility, either hire a wee car ( cheap n cheerful) or get taxis ..12TL-15TL depending on where in the town you are collected from, and always metered. The Turks are so courteous, and helpful, that once when we had had a very busy day, someone saw us looking for where to go to get a taxi, came out of his bar and called us a cab. Yes, it was his uncle, but the price was the same as ever! Restaurants are abundant..so many, you'll never go to them all!! Baharat was the one we loved best, as every member of staff was so warm and kind, the food was first rate and the bill was surprisingly low. Gironda was the only one that let me personally down, selling "Champagne" at over £8 for a glass..and it was cheap prosecco, which I don't like at all.. Judy gave us so many tips, including, get some Turkish Lira and take English sterling..we got better exchange rates in Kalkan than at home! No commission. Everywhere changes your ££. ATM charges you 2.75% ( your own bank that is not Turkey) so that was good advice. Oh and the transfer from and to the airport is the same price everywhere..we were met at the airport in a lovely air conditioned minibus and handed bottles of water and some prepacks of biscuits for our 1hr40mins transfer by the company meeting ourselves and our two friends. On the return trip we had a lovely chap driving us who chatted easily but not excessively and before we knew it he had us at the departures entrance of Dalaman airport, ending a wonderful week with a warm smile. Highly recommend the whole experience, although we would hire a car now, we think, if we have the chance to return one day, which we would certainly like to!

“Wonderful Again!” We stayed in Villa Guzel in 2010 & just had to return as we loved it so much. Such a lovely villa & location . We love the extension of the patio including the BBQ & new shaded seating area & the minor additions, the WIFI Internet & the iced / hot water unit & the fact the hot water could be isolated as our 2 year old daughter loves switches. We were surprised how many of the restaurant staff remembered us & the food is still amazing but we found had increased in price, but of course so had the exchange rate to our benefit. We keep telling our friends how wonderful Kalkan is, but perhaps we should keep it our secret. We looked up your Availability Chart for 2013 & was not surprised to see how many booking you already have. We will return.

“Top quality villa with the most wonderful views” We were looking for luxury and we certainly got it at Villa Beluga . Six of us stayed here for 2 weeks and initially found it rather difficult to leave as the villa and pool were so beautiful . The villa is so spacious, with every bedroom and bathroom in a spotless condition. We drew straws for bedroom allocation, no one being disappointed . Even the bedroom in the basement was spacious, cool and dark which was very pleasant. The bedroom looking over the pool is absolutely beautiful. The location is great , with Kalkan a short 20 minute walk away, or quick water taxi or taxi ride. The unexpected bonus was that the 2 small shops in Kisla had such good fruit and vegetables, melons even being delivered free from Bob's Supermarket. We also enjoyed eating out in Kisla at the barbecue evening and at Bob's on several occasions - the best fish ever. All arrangements with Nick and Jilly were prompt and once at the villa Tamer and Hasan were always on hand.
