We have just enjoyed a wonderful family holiday - 10 of us - at the beautiful High House, Kalamar Bay, Kalkan. The property is stunning and finished to a high quality with fabulous views over the bay. A ten minute taxi ride from the town makes it accessible to all the amenities with some lovely little cafe/bars within walking distance. Superb!
We arrived quite late and straight to bed, it was only when we woke upon the next morning we could really appreciate the fabulous views over Kalkan Bay! The villa is well situated very close to the Lydia Residence Hotel (great poolside restaurant for lunch or evening meal), is very well appointed with all the amenities plus more. It is light and airy with great AC to keep the whole house cool when required. The infinity pool is magnificent and great fun for the whole family (6 adults +1 infant), the BBQ area is shaded and brilliant for a stay at home evening with family and a bottle(s) of wi...more
Villa Caretta is an exceptionally comfortable, spacious, well furnished and kitted-out villa, with a lovely terraced garden (offering shade) and swimming pool. Great location just c.10 mins walk from the Old Town and even closer to the market and supermakets. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough.
What an amazing trip to Athina - we have been coming to Kalkan for the last 10 years and stayed in some wonderful villas but this is definitely up there. The view is spectacular, the design is amazing and the location is perfect, just outside of Kalkan. This is our second time in Athina and will absolutely be heading back, it’s a family favourite now. The welcome pack is a lovely touch. I couldn’t recommend Athina and Olive Tree any higher. Thankyou and see you soon.
This is a stunning villa incredibly well appointed.The pool was a good size and the outside space was very generous.Well designed inside with spacious bedrooms and well equipped kitchen. Bonus for us was how close to shops and local restaurants it is so that you don’t always need to go into town.
Thank you Olive Tree - excellent communication from start to finish and very helpful Thank you Tas Evi - what a beautiful villa with the most stunning views! Excellent location Thank you Kalkan - full of character, lovely people, wonderful restaurants and bars! The best holiday!
My review is simple we enjoyed our time in Kalkan and Rumi apartment including the owner added to our holiday, we will be returning.
The villa was just prefect for 2 families and there was more than enough room. We had a 4 year old, and a 8 and 11 year old and 4 adults. I can't speak highly enough of Villa Mirage. We are thinking of booking this villa again for about the same time next year.
Lovely villa as always excellent views Great location love Kalkan Villa spacious great outdoor space
10 out of 10? Top quality accommodation in every respect with efficient and helpful staff and a wonderful owner.
A lovely villa, perfect for our family. We often had a BBQ in the evening and watched the sunset from the terrace .
We booked this lovely villa for a special occasion with our families We all had a wonderful time and the Villa was perfect
Fab position for us but you need to mention how many steps are up to villa and the steep paths/ roads around villa into town in villa description Depth of pool needs making clear for non swimming persons . Pool table cues need new tips most were missing All minor things but worth a mention . Overall one of the best villa stays we have had in over 25 years
Rosy Villa was spacious, luxurious fittings and very well appointed. Everything was better than we expected with a view from the pool which was one you would never tire of. All the rooms and the pool were spacious with loads of space to spread out and so peaceful to boot We were brought fresh bread and salads every day by a very thoughtful caretaker Honestly couldn’t fault a thing - everything was well specified, equipped and everything worked! Just brilliant!!!! Will return one day.
Our family really enjoyed our stay here. On our arrival after a long journey we were greeted by the owners, smiling faces and fresh figs from their trees. The owner-wife is a great cook and we were treated to a sample of this delicious food on our arrival. The villa is lovely. The shared spaces are great, kitchen has everything needed and plenty of fridge freezer space. The rooms range from very spacious on the 1st floor to very cosy on the top floor where the ceiling height lowers. The smaller space up there is made up for by the lovely sun terrace where you can head when the rest of the hous...more
Our stay at Villa Blossom was amazing! The villa was clean, tidy and very spacious, we loved the different areas to chill out and wind down. There was a table tennis table which absolutely made the trip, which wasnt shown on the pictures, so we were absolutely over the moon with this. The villa was absolutely amazing - honestly so worth it. We will defo be back :)
First time staying in this villa and Kisla where it is located. Kisla is lovely and quiet. Whilst a taxi ride into town, it was very cheap and a 5 minute ride with taxis easily available. Kisla does t suffer any late night noise. Edenview Villa is lovely. Maintained to a high standard with lovely furnishings and equipment. The aircon is also well specced and means that as soon as you turn it on, the rooms start going cool which is unlike some we have stayed at that take hours to cool. The facilities available are lovely, ie indoor eating table and also outside. There is natural shade w...more
Villa Sura is in a brilliant location with amazing views. It is a ten minute walk into the centre or a short taxi ride. You will find everything you need including a roof top bar, jacuzzi, spacious pool, barbeque area and a sauna. The rooms are all beautiful with attention to detail where the furnishings match each other. You will have a wonderful stay.
We had a fantastic holiday at villa luminoux. It is a large villa with beautiful views from all bedrooms. The villa is immaculate and very well maintained every day by the pool man. The pool area is beautiful and the pool was the cleanest we've used. It has a great area with double mattresses & bean bags which we used most of the day unless we wanted some shade. The villa has everything you need. The villa is a 2 minute walk to zest beach club and 5 minute walk to palm beach club. It is a 20 minute walk into town or taxis are very easy to get and were 200tl . We would definitely stay here...more
Another fantastic time in Kalkan. Everything ran smoothly and we love this apartment. Clean, well looked after, good air con, easy reach of town and water sports, pool is fantastic for both us and our three kids. Zal in resort provided good up to date information on our first morning even though we have been before. Transfers organised by Olive Tree and the Gulet cruises were smooth and exceptional as I have come to expect from them.
Villa Juniper is a lovely villa with great views from the balcony, it has everything you need for a relaxing holiday, in an ideal position very close to all the amenities, the walk into Kalkan old town is about 15mins which is ideal.
Had a fabulous week in Muscadet Villa(dry white) Beautiful outside area with plenty space and variety of seating areas. Lovely pool and Jacuzzi(cold) which were very welcome in the intense heat. The option to have deliveries was excellent and taxis readily available and cheap to go into town.
Gul Villa is a small 2 bedroom town house in the centre of Kalkan old town. It’s perfect if you want to be right in the middle of all the action. The restaurants in Kalkan are of a high standard and the views from some of them are spectacular. This accommodation is just up from Greek Street. To reach it you need to be reasonably fit as it is up several steep roads from the harbour. The villa has everything you could need for your stay and has been converted into a bright modern living space. The pool although small has enough room for bobbing about & cooling off. On arrival there was a ver...more
What an amazing villa and an absolutely first class service from the start of my first enquiry to book the villa with Olive Tree Travel right up to our return home. Great communication, very informative and every question I had was answered promptly. I wouldn’t hesitate to put my trust in Olive Tree Travel to arrange my holidays again as they went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. The whole experience felt right and the Villa itself just wow!! So immaculately presented - I shall use the word “ bespoke “ to describe it. The owner has executed a beautiful designed villa...more
We loved the location of this villa. Right by the beach clubs and near to some local restaurants and shops with just a short taxi ride into Kalkan centre. We liked the different levels of this villa as we felt that it gave us various options to relax throughout the day. My husband loved the sauna! We’ve booked with Olive Tree Travel and both times they’ve been so helpful and model great communication.
We had an amazing holiday stay at The Cactus House, it is a beautiful villa with so much space and so many wonderful facilities. The level of comfort and attention to detail for every aspect of a holiday was appreciated so much and just made the stay so enjoyable and relaxing. The housekeeper was so helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble he made sure that everything ran smoothly in the house. The pool area was the best I have ever visited with such a large pool and multiple sunny or shaded area to relax and enjoy the holiday. We will definitely visit again.
This villa was the best we have stayed in. Gorgeous outside area- very spacious. Amenities is the villa were great- never had such a good welcome pack. Washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, washing powder etc- this made such a difference- very welcoming. Had cause to contact manage team re outside light issue- extremely quick response. HUGE tv- lush! Great mattresses! Very comfy There was nothing negative. But if I was being VERY picky, bedside lights in all bedrooms is a must!!! Hopefully this can be easily rectified before our next stay please!!!!!!!! LOVED THIS VILLA. Will defo co...more
We stayed at Villa Manor and I could not fault it, everything had been thought of and the aesthetics of the villa was beautiful. Close to town, a five minute walk(steep) to lovely restaurants…would definately go back again absolutely nothing to dislike!
We had a wonderful stay in Shore House The villa has everything you need and more The location is great with a short walk to the harbour, shops and restaurants Will definitely be back
Lovely and spacious villa that was well designed. Well kitted out. Excellent infinity pool and space around the entire villa. Fabulous views across the bay.
We loved our stay at the apartment and have booked for next year 2025. The Olive tree travel team and the maintenance team at Kalkan were fantastic. Thank you.
This was our first Visit to Kalkan, and it was beyond all of our expectations! The villa was just beautiful and so even nicer than the pictures we saw, we are a family of 5 and it was just perfect for us in every way, the villa was so spacious with a large outdoor space and fantastic pool. The Villa was well Equipped with everything you would need and we even had a mid stay clean with fresh bedding and towels. Olive tree travel thought of absolutely everything from Taxi numbers, takeaway numbers, food shopping deliveries etc etc, Olive Tree Travel made sure we had everything we needed throu...more
We were 3 couples staying over 2 weeks and we have visited Kalkan staying in Villas 6 times before. Villa Greenwich exceeded our expectations on every level. Very spacious in and outside, very well equipped (needed bins in the bedrooms), perfect location, comfortable outdoor beds and seating. The upstairs Jacuzzi and bar area for evening drinks and views was very special. We would definitely stay there again.
Had the most fantastic stay at Villa Zen! Beautiful villa in an excellent location! Olive Tree Travel were excellent would highly recommend!!!
Had a wonderful stay at Harbour Heights - The Penthouse, beautiful apartment very spacious outside with amazing views Own pool was a bonus with lovely garden the staff who maintain the property were lovely ,this booking was pre- covid and was well worth the wait. Many thanks to Debbie and staff at Olive tree travel for assistance Regards, Graeme and Shona.
The Villa was fantastic for our group of 7 people. Fantastic size, lots of ooohs and aaaahs on arrival as it is quite impressive villa. Great pool and the views were amazing. Was very well equipped, and the addition of the games room and cinema are great. Beds super comfy. Its a short downhill walk to the town, 10 mins , we did use the local taxis and they are great value and plentiful. We loved it and would for sure stay again and recommend to others.
This villa has a truly magical position and view, its epic and we were amazed at the location. Its on a very very very steep road however which was a bit hair raising in the hire car! The villa is great, really well equipped and feels like a home, great quality of kit in the kitchen - I love to cook and also great quality rooms. Omer who looks after the house and comes daily to check the pool was also great and really helped make our second week perfect. My only feedback points on the villa are that some things are a bit tired. The outside furniture and umbrellas are all a bit old and tat...more
We booked the villa through Olive Tree Travel as we'd used them before. They were very professional and ensured the whole process was completed without a hitch. The villa was modern, clean and very comfortable. It also had a fantastic outside space with a lovely swimming pool, dining area and comfortable seating. It is located a bit further out of Kalkan than our previous villa but we did walk into the town which took around 25 minutes. We also utilised the local taxis that are very reasonably priced. We had an amazing holiday and will defineatly go again. We'd highly recommend Olive Tr...more
High standard of bill, very well maintained, very clean, lovely view. Zal was very helpful and was always at the end of the phone to help when asked x
We’ve just returned from an unforgettable 2-week stay at Villa Rosina in Kalkan, and it truly deserves every one of its 5 stars. We visited Kalkan last summer and stayed in another one of Olive Tree Travel's recommended villas which was lovely and should have been difficult to top - but this one certainly took it to another level! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible views—panoramic and breathtaking, especially at sunsets. The location is perfect: peaceful yet just a 10–15 minute walk to the harbour, and three beach clubs only minutes away on foot. The villa i...more
We have been coming to Kalkan for 30 years and this is by far the nicest place we’ve ever stayed in. The accommodation exceeded our expectations, the local rep Osman was so helpful. The roof top pool was lovely to cool down in and being 5 minutes walk from the sea was perfect for a proper swim. Having a fridge on the first floor was great for keeping our drinks in so we didn’t have to go down to the kitchen. Very comfortable beds and the cleanliness was excellent, with a cleaning service half way through. The food was excellent as usual and not too pricey, especially if you dig out the plac...more
Stayed at Villa Topaz for 3 weeks. Perfect location to get to both ends of town, 10 min walk. Restaurants and grocery shops 5 mins walk Fabulous views. Excellent amount of cooking gadgets and utensils but did miss a microwave. Massive TV with all channels… Netflix etc Lots of towels. Little extras provided washing powder/dishwasher tablets/toilet rolls/tea/coffee/sakt/pepper/dish towels/cloths. Booked for a month 2026.
We were a party of 9 who stayed at the Fabio and Hyatt at ekin apartments . Fabio was amazing , well stocked kitchen comfy beds brilliant pool great location couldn’t ask-we couldn’t have asked for more as any queries we had were dealt with instantly.
Great villa Great location Great in resort assistance for any issues/questions Kalkan great for foodie hotel Not so suitable for those with less mobility as very hilly Would return
On our first trip to Kalkan we spent a week at Villa Amelia. A spacious villa which was well-equipped and well-maintained in a great location. The efficient air conditioning was much appreciated. The roof top terrace was a real haven in the evenings whilst the pool was great during the day. We could not have asked for more. We loved the resident tortoises in the garden too! We would highly recommend this villa.
Amazing property, accurately described on The Olive Tree website. We had the most fabulous family holiday!
We had a wonderful time in Kalkan. The location and comfort of the villa contributed to this. Would highly recommend staying here.
Apartment was very well equipped, the views are amazing. One very small criticism the sun beds could have done with cushions apart from that excellent. The staff who look after the apartments could not do enough for you
Fab pool area and villa Well maintained Steps up to villa and taxi driver Caddy carried all the suitcases up Get the Olive Tree transfer
We loved Villa Honu- it was perfect for our group of 6. The pool is a decent size and the villa isn’t massively overlooked as can be the case in Kalkan. The rooms and bathrooms are comfortable and the communal spaces are great - the teenagers loved the pool table. My only criticism is the blinds are white so not great if you’re used to black- out blinds or have young children perhaps. I’m glad I chose Villa Honu and I’d recommend Olive Tree Travels as they were very helpful when booking.
Thanks so much, we had a wonderful stay. Brilliant pool, table tennis and jacuzzi. Let us in early due to arrival. Thanks Great stay could not recommend it more! Perfect 5 * also v responsive at reception fantastic service.
Yesil is a beautiful Villa situated close to the sea looking back towards Kalakan which in the evening produces spectacular views of the lights . The grounds of the villa are the highlight, well maintained gardens and pool cared for on a daily basis by the caretaker and his wife who take a real pride in the villa . The views over the sea are beautiful with the sight of the boats leaving the harbour at 10.00 am each morning and returning during the day . We book this villa through Olive Tree and have honestly found them to be an outstanding agent . Efficient , thorough , outstanding at co...more
Second stay at Solvi so the place feels like home to us now. Stayed in another property last summer but Solvi just had our heart so we decided to return. Location is perfect for us as we have friends in bars, restaurants etc nearby and are very familiar and comfortable in this area. Near to all local amenities and a short 10 min flat walk to town. The apartment block is always very peaceful and quiet and the shared pool is never crowded, so having your own pool and a shared pool is fabulous. The apartment itself is clean, modern and really comfortable, perfect for the 3 of us. Air con works re...more
Fabulous Villa and loved the place. Great open downstairs area. Fabulous pool. Great service from cleaning team too . Thank you so much for the stay
Previously we have stayed in villas so wasn't sure what to expect from an apartment, but were very pleased. Bedrooms were all good sizes, living area for the number of people was arguably small, but given we spent little time indoors it was sufficient. Pool & outdoor space for an apartment were amazing. Apartment was very well well equipped, it was a home from home. Location was good with easy access to the market, supermarkets, town & Kalmar Road, taxi was preferable for the return journey, for the cost involved it wasn't worth the up hill walk but we do it in the day. There isn't a s...more
Lovely modernised villa with lovely courtyard. Roof top quite small. Great location for town and beach.
Stayed here for 12 nights in September. Villa looks exactly like the pictures. Location is excellent about a 10min walk from the top of kalkan town. Also there are 2 supermarkets within a couple of minutes walk from the villa. Pool was lovely and got the sun from about half 9 in the morning until half 4. Used the hot tub / roof top for evening sun. Can also get boats to beach clubs from the harbour in Kalkan. Lots of places to eat and drink. Also some restaurants near the villa (5min walk) if you don’t want to walk into the town every night. Olive Tree Travel were great. Prompt reply to email...more
We loved this villa and will definitely book this when we come back. Lovely pool and lots of space outside. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen and everything very clean.
A great villa with a good size pool within easy reach of markets and town restaurants A taxi back up the hill was a great help
The owner of the villa was incredibly accommodating, especially given the uncertainty around travel at the moment. Communication from booking onwards has been quick, easy and incredibly courteous. Instructions for accessing the villa were clear and straightforward and we experienced no problems at all. The welcome pack (including fresh bread, milk, jam etc.) was a lovely touch and the information pack provided invaluable hints and tips that made our stay effortless, such as supermarket delivery and numbers of local taxis. The villa itself was a 5 minute taxi rider from the centre of to...more
Very nice villa. Great location. Could do with more lighting in the bedrooms. Other than that, great
My family, consisting of five adults and three children, just completed a 14-day stay at Villa Jonathan. The villa was very clean and well-equipped, and the pool was just the right size for us to enjoy our time together. I deducted one star for the location since the villa is situated on top of a hill. While this was not an issue for us, as we had cars and a scooter, it might pose a challenge for others without reliable transportation. Overall, we would be happy to stay at Villa Jonathan again.
The first words from my family when we entered the villa were WOW. I asked my family to join me for 1 week at villa Gozcu and we had an amazing week. Cleaners came in half way through and cleaned the villa top to bottom and changed ALL towels and bedding. By all I mean beach towels were also replaced. The pool was cleaned and bin emptied every day and the gardener came in a few days also. The villa is amazing and I would recommend it to all. Taxis to town arrived within minutes or Olive tree can hire a car on your behalf. Overall an amazing holiday.
We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Harika - this was our 3rd time booking this villa & never fails to disappoint. The pictures on olive tree website do not do this Villa any justice as there have been many upgrades to the villa that photos don’t show. It’s truly out of this world. Thank you so much to olive tree travel for being the most helpful company I have ever dealt with. We hopefully will be back next year
We stayed here for two weeks in September, as a party of three. The pictures really don’t do justice to this place. It’s tastefully decorated and modern, and the outside spaces are lovely. Kitchen was fully equipped, we lacked no utensils or amenities. The living area was very comfy and the air conditioning throughout was perfect. The bedrooms are roomy and the bathrooms great (shower pressure probably the best I’ve known in Kalkan over our many stays, as was the reliability of the WIFI). Despite the apartment being in a duplex, we were surprised by just how quiet it was. We heard no noise wha...more
We were 2 couples staying at the Villa. We all had a wonderful time. The villa was very spacious, clean and suited all our needs. It was not our first choice of area to stay in Kalkan but was absolutely fine with only a 10 minute walk to the town. Any issues we had were sorted immediately with the Samira Resort. We had housekeeping 3 times in the 10 days which was adequate. I would definitely recommend staying there. We booked through Olive Tree Travel who were fantastic. Very prompt and efficient with any questions we had and always available if needed.
Wonderful stay at Villa Pearl - we would highly recommend! We travelled as two families with kids ranging from 9 years old up to 20 years old and everyone had a ball! Excellent service from the start to finish - couldn't recommend Villa Pearl or Kalkan more highly. Thank you for a fabulous trip.
Would highly recommend this villa to anyone thinking about holidaying in Kalkan. All the bedrooms were a very good size with very comfortable beds, and very effective aircon. Kitchen equipment was good and had everything we needed (could have done with some additional large glasses) and the pool and outside area was lovely. Location is very good on the Kalkan road, overlooking the road but wasn’t a problem with nose or traffic. Was a 15 min walk into Kalkan old town, with lots of lovely restaurants and bars within a few minutes easy walk.
We had a lovely stay at Asfiya retreats. The apartment has everything that you need. The location is excellent and only a ten minute walk into the centre of Kalkan. I would recommend the apartment for couples and the pool is really good. The only criticism I have is the bed in the double room is extremely hard. Apart from this, an excellent stay. Thank you.
We had a fantastic stay at aqua apartment. The apartment is immaculate and has everything you need for your stay. It's in a quiet location only 5 minutes flat walk into town and it had great sea views from the pool terrace. We would definitely stay here again.
We have just returned from a lovely stay at Villa Shiva. The location, about ten minutes walk from passport pizza on the main road down to the centre, was very convenient. Kalkan is on a hill and definitely not for those with mobility issues. The villa was clean and modern. Facilities included.. dishwasher, washer, microwave and full fridge freezer. But skinny on the glass ware but I presume these get broken and aren’t always replaced. The apartment was on two floors. Bedrooms downstairs with air con. But even in full summer heat these rooms felt cool and air con not needed all the time. Upsta...more
Wonderful Villa with amazing views across Kalkan harbour and Kalamar bay. Lovely infinity pool and jacuzzi on top floor balcony. Amenities are very good. If there was one slight downside it is the very steep roads to get down to the main roads. These are challenging going down as well as up but taxis are only 60 lira so well worth the money. I would happily stay here again.
Wow Wow Wow from initial arrival to the 12 nights later when we reluctantly left this very special villa in an amazing location. Villa Alaeddin is magical and Kalkan is a must visit holiday destination. Olive tree travel are the most professional holiday villa company too who are simply brilliant.
Our 5th time here, and it won't be our last. That says it all! Fabulous in every way! There is nothing we'd change.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Villa Amethyst. The location was ideal for us. The views over the bay are stunning. The cleaning team were excellent as was Samet the local management contact. The villa had everything that we needed and we especially appreciated the water cooler and the fresh drinking water tap. One of the best properties that we have ever stayed in.
We really enjoyed our stay, it was great having the three separate outside areas, the kitchen was equipped so well. Thoroughly recommend staying at this beautiful house.
This villa is in a perfect location on the Kalamar Road - an excellent range of restaurants, supermarkets and the Elixir Hotel with the best spa in Kalkan (Nur & Haken) . The ground floor has been recently refurbished - a well-equipped kitchen and good furnishings in the open plan lounge/dining area. The bedrooms are a good size - with plenty of storage - unfortunately there was a build up of mould in some of the showers which was unattractive. The shower in the twin bedroom is quite small - fine for children. We had a few issues concerning the property which were dealt with speedily by...more
We loved our stay at Cira Villa. Everything was perfect - incredibly clean and really well equipped with plenty of seating outside and inside. The pool was so clean and well used in the august heat! - we really couldn’t have asked for anything more. The view of Kalkan from the villa was amazing and lovely to wake up to every morning. The walk into Kalkan took about 20 minutes with some very steep roads and involved crossing a main road (via pedestrian bridges) The uphill walk back was tougher especially in the August heat. However taxis were very reasonable so we relied on them after a nig...more
6 double rooms, all fantastic with minor pros and cons, so no short straws on room allocation. Pool was kept immaculately clean and the water crystal clear and warm. Superb layout. Lower terrace slightly disappointing as it was laid to grass and had small biting flies in it, so fairly unuseable. Various other terraces though all had fantastic views and great layout. The roof terrace made a great party spot. Very steep walk down to town takes about 25mins but taxi costs about £5 and arrives within minutes. Seem to be available 24/7. The villa location has the most fantastic views of the harbou...more
Having just returned from a 9-night stay in Kalkan we can safely say, this won't be our last visit. Villa Phi is a fantastic Villa overall with a modern decor and also boasting an indoor and outdoor pool. My only gripe would be that the outside pool isn't heated and wasn't made clear at the time of booking so as a result, it didn't get used as much as i'd have liked as the water was rather chilly this time of year. The indoor pool whilst heated felt very weak and wasn't comfortable initially but you soon acclimatised. The location is brilliant as you are just outside of the hustle and...more
Our stay as Iskele Apartment 3 was better then our expectations , the location of the apartment was perfect for us , near enough to the old town but yet far enough away for peaceful sleeps. The apartment was lovely and clean and spacious enough for 4 guests and the plunge pool was perfect for cooling off when temperatures were at the high points.
We loved this very impressive, excellent apartment. It was stylish, comfortable, well equipped and the views amazing. Additionally the walk into Kalkan centre was comfortable without the ever present challenging hill climbs/ descents. I would definitely book again!
Our family of six had a happy week in Villa Mavi. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was clean, and the bedlinen was high quality and the beds were comfy. There isn't a huge amount of outside space but enough for all of us to have a sun lounger. Like most of Kalkan the villa is steep - there are a lot of steps from ground to top floor. So bear in mind if you've young children or elderly with you. We felt the villa was value for money; friends staying nearby had larger villas with better views but paid £900-£1,000 more per week. The only tiny thing we'd have changed was the cleaners arri...more
Turtle bay villla is excellently situated on a penninsula with great views over the sea where there were amazing sunsets just like on the photographs. With the infinity pool it was stunning. The house was spacious, clean and modern and easy for 6 adults to have plenty space. Great bedrooms with balcony with views. Good outdoor space and sunbeds in sun and seating in shade. It was mostly private but there was some visibility into the outside space from the road, but this was not too noticeable. Regular buses to the town of Kas were easy to catch. Local hotels were easy to eat at. Olive tree tra...more
We stayed a few years back and loved it so much we booked again. The views to wake to each morning are just so special and the pool is perfect, size, depth, cleaned daily ... just fantastic. The harbour has an array of amazing bars and restaurants, Gusto is workd class and such great value for money and the Bezirgan pub is a must pop.in every day ...4 quid a pint in most places ...Nokta bar just down fro Bezirgan is brilliant with a lovely family run atmosphere. If you want the Turkish friendly culture and atmosphere, the stunning weather and a little less silly than major tourist areas around...more
Villa has started to show wear and tare and could do with some updating. The kitchen cupboards are not closing, the shower heads are cracked and the sunbeds are in need of replacement. However the location is amazing and the care and attention from Nilgun and her husband is second to none.
I have been visiting Kalkan annually for over 25 years, staying in the old town for the past 20, and this villa is in the most perfect spot. Great sea view, and 2 minutes to bars and restaurants. A lovely pool, plus small jacuzzi pool - perfect for young children. My 7 year old granddaughter loved it. The villa was spacious, and well maintained. We would certainly stay here again.
We recently stayed at this apartment after the long wait to return to Kalkan. We used Olivetreetravel to book the villa and they have been excellent since we first used them in 2020. The villa has a lot of positives: - Great size, easily big enough for 10 people even though there were only six in our party - The Pool was cleaned every day and the cleaning service was excellent. - The proximity to the local Micros and the Town is just right. We could walk into Town with our 70+ relative in about 15 minutes. I could probably do it in 10. - The view from the pool is excellent as it is r...more
We were a party of 9 who stayed at the Hyatt and Fabio apartment. Hyatt was well equipped with plenty of amenities. The roof top pool was nice to sit with a drink and observe the beautiful ode of kalkan harbour. The apartment is furnished to a very high standard - only think is if 6 people were to stay there are only 4 full sunbeds and one subbed cushion -we didn’t see the beanbags. It didn’t affect us but I think it would be a bit crammed in the outside area for 6.
Gorgeous apartment, kitchen well equipped we cooked most evenings. Whole apartment was spotless, we loved it.
Great location close to the sea, but difficult to get to - access via a step slope and a number of steps . No direct access from any road and tucked behind lots of other villas. Nightmare when you are bringing bags and shopping back to the villa - this was not clearly described . There were various very tired elements to the house which should have been sorted before it was rented out - difficult to use chipped hob, rusty washing machine, dripping loos, mechanical failure of an electrical mirror in one of the bedrooms- so you only have 15cm of mirror in the master bedroom. Many cold showers ...more
This is a great villa for what we need and I feel harsh for only giving it a 4 for condition and location, but I'll explain why because they are a 5 for my family, but might be a 4 for others. We stayed in the villa a couple of years ago so it was nice to see there had been some updates and a little freshening up around the place. It wasn't a bad place before, but a lick of paint does wonders. As I have said, the location is perfect for us as it is 3 minutes from a bar if you don't want to walk into town and a 10 minute walk (all down hill) if you do. As always in Kalkan, you can get your ...more
We had an excellent stay at Amore. Some small changes made since our last stay but nothing significant so still comfortable and decently equipped. Other than sharpening the knives and adding in a couple of other kitchen tools - we had a child with us so had to eat in most evenings - it was great. The location is brilliant and the pools. In October lots of owners of the apartments staying and that was quite cliquey but if you don’t care about that (we didn’t) then you will have a brilliant stay. The managers onsite are fabulous and so helpful....
The villa was very nice but there were problems which had to be bought to the attention of the owner. We had to contact the owner that the hot tub needed to be cleaned urgently. The TV remotes did not work. The TV in the bed room did not work. The handle on the shower screen door was missing. The main parasol was badly ripped. We feel the villa should had been cleaned and towels change for a ten night stay. But after all above the villa was very nice and the setting had a great view and the owner was very nice also.
We stayed here for a week to attend a family wedding and we were over the moon with the cleanliness, facilities and overall quality of the Property. The outside seating area and pool were great and although there are 2 other apartments in the block with their own pools we very rarely saw them and it felt very private. The location was a real bonus with a supermarket over the road and lots of places to get food and drink practically next door. We would 100% return here and look forward to our next stay.
Excellent break in villa Lillian. The villa had gorgeous views, was extremely well equipped, well maintained and had excellent amenities. A 10 min taxi from town, made everything accessible.
Lovely spacious villa suitable for a large family. Fully equipped kitchen if you wanted to cook meals at home. Plently of clean towels for the pool.
We really enjoyed our holiday at villa JoJo. We had a few issues with the air conditioning to start with. This was disappointing as we couldn't use one of the bedrooms for 2 nights, it was way too hot. The WiFi was also very hit and miss. The villa itself was absolutely beautiful, the pool was lovely and a really good size. The views from the villa were fabulous. It was a wonderful place to stay.
We arrived late near midnight hungry yet tired The lady ( whose apartment it was ) greeted us and gave us some of her homemade soup and bread etc which was great considering you never met us . First impressions were great . The apartment was modern with a beautiful view of the sea . It’s location was perfect , we were only three minutes from all restaurants and port . Enjoyed the beach clubs and restaurants . Very commercial resort though and the Turkish restaurant owners were quite pushy to get us into their restaurants which was annoying to be honest . Other than that great value a...more
Azure Heights was perfect for the 4 of us. Excellent facilities indoors and very clean but we spent most of our time outdoors which is where Azure Heights spoilt us with such a great outside area, fantastic pool and, of course, the amazing view.
We had a wonderful week at Queen Villa. We found the process of booking (and rebooking thanks to Covid!) with Olive Tree very smooth and responsive. The Villa was lovely for 4 of us, very spacious and a super (but deep) pool. It had lovely vistas but there was a large uphill walk to get to town so it wasn’t for the faint hearted in that heat! Mehmet came to clean the pool and answered any queries and we recommend a chat with Zal on arrival who gave us lots of top tips - thanks Zal. The Villa was well appointed, everything we needed, but would recommend asking for sheets on the bed - th...more
Had the most amazing stay in this exquisite villa. It is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable inside. The pool area and surrounding sun loungers etc is absolutely stunning offering great views and tranquility. We had one issue with the hot water system which was responded to immediately and dealt with which was great. Taxis are plentiful in and out of Kalkan. The air conditioning is also very good. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
We had a lovely stay at this modern and clean villa in Kalkan. The space was well designed, well-equipped and well maintained making it a very comfortable and relaxing place to unwind. The views from the penthouse bedroom and balcony were stunning and certainly a lovely area to watch the sun go down in the evenings.. The villa has 4 bedrooms all with ensuite and great facilities for ladies drying their hair, which is sometimes overlooked. The kitchen was well equipped with everything and the outside dining space was perfect for warm evenings. There is a cinema room and small room to play po...more
We enjoyed a fabulous week in this beautiful villa. The location was brilliant being so close to town but still very quiet with no noise from the town at night. The outdoor area was very pretty with stunning views framed by bougainvillea and a pretty pool. We stayed as a couple and the villa was ideal for two of us but as only one of the four bedrooms enjoys the sea view I think it could have been very disappointing if you were going as a larger group and also the outdoor area would have been very tight for a larger group but perfect for couples or families with children who want location over...more
Absolutely loved our stay at İskele 1 apartment . The location was perfect 8 min stroll to Town . Spacious & spotlessly clean inside & out . Loved the pool area with sea view . Would definitely return .
This villa is very well positioned in Kormuluk. Near enough town to walk in of an evening, but far enough to justify the taxi home :) The ground floor layout, infinity pool and view across the bay is excellent (and I speak as someone that has visited Kalkan over 25 times). We were just one couple using the villa so used the first floor bedroom and not the twin and double on the lower floors. Again the view from the bedroom terrace was excellent. The dressing room and bedroom furtniture is a little 'tired', but if that is my main gripe - it can't be bad. The management / maintenance ...more
Whilst the villa was well situated, large and comfortable, it was tired and would benefit from redecoration and updated furniture. The equipment in the kitchen was sparse and not conducive to being able to cook a meal. There were very few utensils, ie a potato peeler, whilst there was a knife block the knives were blunt. The toaster which was not very efficient only catered for 2 slices of bread. The shower heads were blocked and gave a very inconsistent flow of water. Finally the electrics are in serious need of attention as at least 1 of the sockets in the kitchen for the toaster and ke...more
We enjoyed our stay at elmas. Some minor niggles such as fridge freezer breaking down which could not be fixed for 2 days which did impact upon our holiday. We had to request a mid-stay clean for our 10 night stay which was finally done after 8 days. Otherwise this is an excellent apartment and takes about 10 minutes to walk into town but you do need to get a taxi back although these are very cheap. Maintained to a high standard and pool cleaned daily. Would recommend staying here.
Love the location, villa is well cleaned and pool and gardens very well maintained. Rooms are spacious and can be easily kept cool. Balcony are lovely. Only thing that could be better is lack of household basics eg jug, condiments, tea towels and washing up liquids.
10 of us with differing ages. First family holiday for a long time. Villa offered everything we needed. Lovely pool, lots of shade, lots of different areas to sit. Pool, table tennis, hot tub was very popular. Magnificent views. 20 min walk into town which was very doable. Very cheap taxi drive back. David was also incredibly helpful. Everyone said one of their best holidays ever.
Spent 10 days in September in Asfiya Loft. The apartment is in a handy location, with a 10 minute walk into the Old Town area, close to several beach clubs and supermarkets. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable, however, kitchen is poorly stocked. Communal pool was nicely kept, but some repairs were needed to the steps and sunbeds. Would definitely consider revisiting this accommodation
We had a lovely family holiday at this apartment. We were met on arrival at the apartment by Zal (we arrived late evening) and were helped in with our luggage. Zal arranged for water for the water cooler to be delivered and was on hand via whatsapp to help with any other requests we may have had. Zal and Ibrahaim also allowed us to have a late check out on our last day till 6pm as the apartment had a few days before the next guests would arrive and our flight did not leave till 10.15pm. This was really kind of them and basically allowed us to have the extra afternoon at the apartment at no cha...more
Lovey clean villa with great views of the sea. Staff very helpful and easy to get hold of via WhatsApp. It’s a little bit out of the way if you want deliveries and taxis etc they tended to get lost trying to find us! It’s only a 15 min walk into town though. Wouldn’t recommend if you have very young children as there are lots of steps/ ledges in the garden, also inside there is a curved marble staircase. But the villa is perfect for adults / older kids
We had a wonderful stay Zeytin Kaya Villa this July. Kalkan itself was superb. A few wee niggles with the villa. Minor ones would be that the décor in the villa was sparse, this I'm assuming be due to it's newness. Large mirrors would be handy in the bedrooms. More British TV channels would also be nice. Halfway through week two we lost our wifi, I'm guessing due to a restriction on usage. When you have yourself and two teenagers on tow, unlimited wifi access is essential. For some (not us), it would be a pre-requisite to booking the villa. All in all though,a great trip.
This could easily be all fives but just needs a bit of tlc. Refit the skirting board, remove the paint drips and supply a few more essentials in the kitchen. Overall it’s a great villa, cleverly designed, well maintained pool and gardens, views to die for.
Overall very satisfied, well maintained and had all the equipment we needed. We had a lovely time and especially love the outdoor area layout and a wonderful view. Had some plumbing problems in downstairs bedroom and some issue with games room key which should be rectified as very difficlult to open had to call for help. Also the internet connection is not strong or fast enough and I wasnt able to do some of my work when required.
I have already submitted my feedback and review directly to Olive Travel. Great service and villa, cleanliness want as good as it could have been and the villa was a little tired in places. Other than that, it was a great holiday and I’d recommend the company (I have in fact) and would also re-book through them.
Great villa but beds let it down, mattresses are lumpy, uncomfortable and need replacing. Having said that, views are stunning and the pool area works really well.
Lovely villa. Incredible view. Needs to be better checked before let. Cooker extractor Didn’t work wires hanging at the side. No lights directly outside new bulbs took 5 days to fit. Safe locked so not usable. We told the pool man not to hose the patio down as it flooded into the lounge. All simple things to fix but these should be sorted before the customer arrives not while we are trying to holiday. Seems that management companies are not proactive but only reactive and when your on holiday for a short time not having to contact them and waiting for stuff to be fixed would help. Would I bo...more
It's a great place to be in Kalkan, easy walking distance to Kalamar Bay for a swim, the diving centre and some very good restaurants. The apartment itself is very comfortable. We're not big fans of the bathrooms; all wet rooms so we spent more time cleaning the floor than having a shower but it's no big problem. It would definitely benefit from having a dining table on the master bedroom patio (with some lights), so one can enjoy the magnificent view.
Although we are frequent visitors to Kalkan, this was our first visit to Kisla and to Villa Palmiye. Kisla is quieter than other areas of Kalkan and has the benefit of a couple of small convenience stores and restaurants as well as easy access to a couple of beach clubs. The sunsets are amazing and it's very easy to get into town - we didn't attempt the very steep hills as it was only 25 Turkish lira to get a cab for the 5 minute ride into town. The villa itself is lovely, very spacious and the outside area is particularly good with the added bonus of a table tennis table. There are plenty of ...more
Very spacious apartment, well situated opposite Thursday market, the very popular Coriander restaurant and Migros supermarket. The pool is a good size for cooling off. Unfortunately the rest of the pool area needs upgrading, the sun loungers, mattresses and umbrellas. An additional umbrella for the outside dining table definitely needed as the sun is on the terrace all day ( good for sunbathing but not for dining). Also there was a lack of outside cleaning. If the pool area was upgraded, this would be a lovely apartment.
Fantastic location, great pool and outside areas. Bedroom 2 and 3 balcony did not have any furniture, all showers hoses and heads leaked so need updating. We had no internet for 3 days but was fixed before we left. It was a Turkish holiday for 3 days and had some very noise neighbours over that weekend.
Lovely villa, met all expectations. Would recommend. Host very helpful, cleaners and maintenance excellent.
The villa is in a great location, within an easy walk of the town, local supermarkets, restaurants and beach clubs. The accommodation is spacious and suitable for 8 people. In particular the outside space is stunning with a large pool, seating and sunbeds overlooking the bay. This area is open to the sun from early morning to early evening. The pool is well maintained. There are a few minor internal maintenance issues which need to be addressed, which is common for rental properties e.g. broken safe, toilet flush and poor shower heads. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would recommend this p...more
The Villa location was good a little way from town but nice walk. The villa was clean tidy but certain things could do with some up dating. We had a couple of problems but all we sorted very quickly. Excellent villa for large party.
We rented two apartments, the ground floor and the roof terrace, this will cover both apartments. Firstly, these apartments are in an excellent position and have great potential but unfortunately they were a bit run down and we found the owners unwilling to help on some of these issues. The bathrooms needed a bit of updating, in one of the them the towel holder had been removed and just left with holes in the walls. There was no storage space in most of the bathrooms. There was also not enough plug sockets, the rep did provide us with extension leads - the owners refused to do this. One o...more
