Lisa stayed in Villa Everes in 17 September 2025
Highly recommend this company!!From the very first communication with Altan our booking and stay was seamless. Altan booked our hire car, answered any questions, and we were even able to text him when we had a small issue with dripping air con (which was fixed the same day!) Altan met us upon arrival to show us around with the lovely owner who came most days to clean the pool and water the plants and take out the rubbish. We had a maid service visit half way through who changed all bedding and provided plenty of fresh towels. The villa is absolutely lovely and a home from home. Plenty of utensils in the kitchen, toys and board games for guests to use, and even some books to read by the pool! And the views are stunning. I couldn't stop looking at the beautiful blue sky and sea. I have absolutely no hesitation with recommending Altan and Kalkan Escapes to all my family and friends. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Villa CinaA very nice villa with breathtaking views. Parking for two cars despite the steep access. Easy walking distance to town centre although with the up-ill return you may need to use the excellent taxi service,. Whole process of booking, initial access to villa, availability of a villa manager and checkout ... all very smooth. Altan from Kalkan Escapes an excellent contact ... always available and helpful.

Hi Altan, Thank you for being so great in all the communication before and during our stay. We had a lovely time at the villa. I saw an email about feedback and thought I would message you as I didn’t know if the feedback would go in the public domain. I want to stress that we had a great time but there were some negatives… Overall the villa is lovely - very clean. The rooms were spacious and the outdoor area was a lovely place to spend time. We could have done with some parasols for the sun loungers as it was hot. The only other place we found it a bit of a pain was the kitchen as we cooked a lot for the 6 of us. The bottom right hob doesn’t work and the pans easily fall off the hob as the metal grates move - we found it a little dangerous. We would also have benefited from a microwave. Be aware the fan didn’t work in the oven, even though it said it was fan assisted. The only other negative was that while there were lots of plates and bowls, there needed to be enough wine glasses for 6. Also we needed more utensils to stir pots when cooking. It was a lovely stay but I thought the feedback would be useful. Have a great day ahead! We are just home now to rain! Best, Sarah

Amazing villa!This villa is exactly as the photos show! The view is breathtaking and uninterrupted. The pool is huge and there is ample outdoor space (we are a party of 5 adults and 5 children). There are quite a few things which need fixing but nothing that would stop you enjoying your stay here. The communication with Kalkan escapes was exceptional. I contacted them always by WhatsApp and had a reply within minutes every time both before and during the holiday. Location is good with a 15 minute downhill walk to local beach club (best one for kids in my opinion), local supermarket is 9 minute walk (downhill) and a few nice restaurants within 10 minutes walk. Cabs and food deliveries are also readily on hand and easily contactable. Old town can be reached in 5 mins by taxi and never more than TRY 220. Kalkan is such an amazing place you couldn’t fail to love it. We will definitely be back!

Villa Leo Kiziltas - an absolute joy in so many ways!I cannot describe how much I loved this villa. First of all, the view. Wow. You get the joy of the sea view and town not only from the generously sized outdoor terrace and pool area, but also from the main living area and the main bedrooms upstairs. Waking up to that view in the sunshine every morning was breathtaking. The outdoor area is spacious and has everything you need. The pool is clean and also generously sized - my 12 and 8 year old sons were not disappointed! It was very well maintained during our stay and I believe the man came to clean the pool as well as the outside area early every day (but he is very quiet and you don’t hear him). The location is perfect as you are close to town and well within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants but don’t hear any road noise and it is quiet in general. You can also sunbathe on outside terrace and not be overlooked. The villa is spacious and very comfortable. The air con works well and an unexpected 19l water cooler came in extremely handy for which we ordered top ups throughout our stay. The beds are comfortable and the washing machine came in very handy. Kalkan is a fabulous place. Very beautiful with friendly locals and plenty to do. The restaurants and shops are great and you are made to feel welcome by everyone. As it is built into the hillside you get the benefit of the stunning views from lots of places and angles. Overall, this is the best villa we have stayed in on any holiday and we will definitely be back. Finally, I cannot complete this review without mentioning Altan at Kalkan Escapes. He is an absolute gem and a total pleasure to deal with. He is super responsive and helpful. His insight and communication made everything go so smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble and he is a lovely man who is wonderful to deal with. Could not thank him more. Thank you Altan, Villa Leo Kiziltas and Kalkan Escapes for a wonderful holiday.

Carol stayed in Villa Badem in 27 August 2025
Villa BademVilla Badem is ideally located in a quiet part of the old town just minutes away from the centre of Kalkan. The villa is spacious and clean with a lovely outside area. The view from the rooftop terrace is amazing and a great place to sit and have an evening drink. Altan was very welcoming and gave us lots of information about Kalkan and the villa. He was always available and very accommodating. He made our stay very relaxing and enjoyable. We would definitely recommend this property & Its management.

Lara P... stayed in Villa Setara in 22 August 2025
Villa Setara - highly recommend!We stayed in Villa Setara with our 3 teenage children for 11 nights. We all loved it! Stunning location & uninterrupted sea views, peaceful setting whilst close to beach clubs and Kalkan town. The villa is impressive- spacious, modern, stylish & well maintained. The pool’s a good size & the splash pool with sunbeds a bonus for keeping cool. Plenty of comfy sun beds & shade too. Outdoors was well maintained with regular visits to clean the pool & garden. A mid stay villa clean was also welcome. We visited nearby beach clubs - Zest (large pool, DJ night on Friday, great cocktails) and Palm (trampoline & large float in the sea which the kids loved) - both served delicious food. Kalkan is a short walk but it is steep & it was very hot! So we tended to get a taxi - 200 lire/£3.60. Most taxis can fit 6 passengers. Food everywhere we ate was fresh & tasty, and we loved the roof top settings & views. Would recommend Lal, Salonika, Kalamaki and Sade. Tesoro Pizzas deliver & are delicious. Most shops take sterling, euros & Turkish lire & offer discounts for cash so it’s worth taking some. Plenty of fake designer goods in the shops & market. It was my birthday when we were there & the restaurant we ate at (Salt & Pepper) actually let off fireworks in the bay! Quite something! The kids said it was their best holiday they loved how friendly everyone was. Thanks to Altan for making the booking process so easy, arranging our airport transfer & for meeting us on arrival at the villa. Would definitely recommend!!

Jo Ga... stayed in Villa Primavera in 17 August 2025
Great view, beautiful pool!We had a fantastic stay at Villa Primavera! The infinity pool overlooking Kalkan was absolutely stunning - the perfect place to relax and watch the sunsets. The villa’s layout was ideal for our group, especially for the four teenagers who had their own space downstairs, complete with a TV room and pool table to keep them entertained. From start to finish, everything was smoothly arranged through Altan, who was incredibly helpful. Nothing was ever too much trouble - he answered emails and WhatsApp messages promptly and made the whole experience hassle-free. The only downside was the comfort of the beds - all of them were very firm, and the pillows weren’t great either. That said, it didn’t spoil what was otherwise a wonderful holiday.

Julie Ma... stayed in Villa Vogue in 12 August 2025
Villa Vogue is a delight!Well this villa was a stunner! The outside space and views are exceptional. So many different areas to relax in outside. We really appreciated the quality of the furniture in both the outside and inside spaces which was comfortable and perfect for our needs. Allan who manages the villa was there to greet us on arrival and communicated with us throughout our stay which we really appreciated. The locations was perfect for us in a quiet part of town but there were a few bars, restaurants and a supermarket nearby. I would highly recommend Villa Vogue and Kalkan Escapes for their outstanding service and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you Alan and team

Gavin Ha... stayed in Villa Atlas in 4 August 2025
Good size and location - needs maintenanceThe villa is a great size for 6 people - it is not big but has plenty of space and is clean. The location may not look ideal but there is a shop 25m away and two bigger supermarkets less than 5 minutes away. Altan (the Kalkan Escapes rep) is excellent and there when needed. The only downside is the villa requires some maintenance - there are a number of bathroom fittings that are broken so do not function as they should (e.g. shower head that do not stay in position, taps that spin and need to be firmly pushed to operate) and there were broken sunbeds - also the finish is second rate in places (e.g. pool tiles wonky and some falling off). This is disappointing but did not ruin our holiday.

Zoe stayed in Villa Waterfall 1 in 31 July 2025
Improvements neededThe positive of this villa is the great location. Short walk into the top of town plus great sea views There is a great large outside space and inside plenty of amenities (cups, cutlery etc) Downsides: Although maintenance requests were responded to quickly by Altan (thank you), overall the villa is in a poorly maintained state. Many of these issues should have been checked before we arrived as they were completely obvious; Many lights out, sinks hanging off wall, a wasps nest in one room, cracked chipped paint, green slime in upper pool, curtains hanging off, huge hole to outside above the front door. The top floor pool was in such a dirty state, it was unusable which was really sad given we made this choice of villa based on having the waterfall We also had to request the waterfall element be switched off as it just soaked everywhere on the bottom floor which became a hazard for everyone and meant we had to walk in and out of the villa via a bedroom rather than the intended patio doors. There was only one sunbed on the upper deck and two rusty seats which meant we didnt even use the upper space to sit outside of the pool either. Overall we were really disappointed with this villa. Its in a higher budget bracket and given the issued we encountered, wasnt value for money. We wouldnt return unless all maintenance had been thoroughly reviewed.
