I've never done a last minute holiday before and with all past holidays they've always been through a British company. Having trawled thru last minute.com holidays and all over Europe I hit a brick wall. So I went on line to explore Kalkan in Turkey, a place I love and know and by chance came across Kalkan escapes based locally. I asked my friend who lives there if he could get them to call me and five minutes later Altan called and within half an hr he had the perfect place for us. Villa Cecili. Up in the hills stunning views. The outside space, pool, seating areas and table tennis, an absolute dream. A real home from home inside with so much space. The whole experience made our week away feel like 2 weeks. Great mattress (there's nothing worse than having to put up with a rubbish mattress on holiday) the air conditioning was really gentle and effective, I usually hate to have to use it but it didn't bother us at all in the villa. And the icing on the cake!? Altan. The company clearly pride themselves on delivering the kind of support and service that people on holiday need quickly and often. Nothing was too much trouble. Proper help and advice, not based on getting a cut of whatever we wanted to book and because they're local their knowledge of restaurants, supermarkets, beaches etc was vast. Different ball game. So a huge thank you to Altan and Kalkan escapes for a Perfect trip ☺️

We have just returned from a 1 week break at Villa Tzia in Kalkan and loved every minute of it. The villa is lovely and very spacious inside. The bedrooms all have amazing views but the jewel in its crown is the pool. It is a large kidney shaped pool with plenty of areas around it for sunbeds, table and chairs etc. It is a little way out from the centre but this adds to its charm as it is quiet and peaceful in the evening and at night. The 9 of us loved our stay there and would totally recommend it for a relaxed break in Kalkan.

We had a fabulous week at Villa Mara. It is a stunning villa and perfect location. The pool is an unusual shape but a very good size so plenty of room in and around the pool for 4 adults and 6 teenagers. All the rooms are a good size especially the doubles, all en-suite. Although you should note that only the top room has a ‘sea view’ - if this is important to you! The rest have a fabulous view of the whole of Kalkan. It takes about 10 minutes to walk into town but advisable to take a taxi back (150TL) as steep climb! Supermarket about 5 min walk. Atlan was always at hand if you needed him to ask for information, order water or anything else. Communication from enquiring about the villa, booking and til we left was first class. A few minor points that perhaps need addressing like an outside umbrella was broken as was the microwave. Also a mid clean would be nice as very limited cleaning things so not possible to have a quick whip around yourself! All in all I would highly recommend booking through Kalkan Escapes and you wouldn’t be disappointed at Villa Mara!

Myself and 10 friends stayed in Villa Falcon for 6 days and had the most fantastic time. The villa was beautiful, in very good condition and if any issues occurred, someone was sent round almost immediately. In terms of location, the villa is perfectly situated above Kalkan with a perfect view of the town and sea. It was a 10 minute walk from a supermarket but also a 10 minute drive from town, the sea and beach clubs. The taxi service was great to and from town even with a big group. Altan was always on hand to answer any questions, send any recommendations and book trips/transfers - he was a huge help and reassurance prior to and during the holiday. I would definitely recommend booking through Kalkan Escapes.

What a lovely villa! Villa Mirage is just like the photos. Beautiful spacious modern villa with all you need plus the amazing outdoor space and pool with a wonderful view too. Perfect for a family holiday. Lots of steps so not good for anyone with mobility problems. Would recommend! We will be back. Thank you!!!

This was our seventh visit to Kalkan, and this villa was undoubtedly one of the best we've stayed in. From start to finish, Altan, the villa manager, provided seamless and outstanding customer service. The villa itself was immaculately clean and beautifully presented. Spacious and luxurious, the villa easily accommodated our family of six, making us feel like we had booked a private hotel. We chose this villa for its stunning views, exceptional outdoor space and infinity pool, it did not disappoint—breathtaking vistas all around. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds, each featuring excellent en-suite showers. The games room and gym were fantastic additions, perfect for burning off calories and enjoying competitive games of table tennis, pool, or darts. The villa is conveniently located just a 5-minute taxi ride from town and a 5-minute walk to the Mediterranean Hotel for meals or drinks. If you're considering booking, don't hesitate. Kalkan is a special place, and this villa truly feels like home

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Akaysa, a stunning property offered by Kalkan Escapes. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the exceptional service and the luxurious experience that awaited me. Villa Akaysa is a true gem nestled in the beautiful town of Kalkan. The villa itself is beautifully designed, with modern amenities and spacious, well-appointed rooms. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the villa, from the stylish decor to the comfortable furnishings. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking views from the villa's terrace. Overlooking the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea, I found myself spending hours just soaking in the beauty and tranquility of the surroundings. The private infinity pool was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the warm Turkish sun. The staff at Kalkan Escapes went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was nothing short of perfect. From the seamless check-in process to the helpful recommendations for local activities and restaurants, their attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made me feel like a valued guest. One of the standout features of Villa Akaysa is its convenient location. Just a short cab ride away from the vibrant town center, I had easy access to a wide range of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Whether I wanted to explore the charming streets of Kalkan or indulge in some delicious Turkish cuisine, everything was within reach. Overall, I cannot recommend Villa Akaysa and Kalkan Escapes highly enough. It truly exceeded my expectations in every way and provided me with a truly unforgettable holiday experience. If you're looking for a luxurious and memorable getaway in Kalkan, Villa Akaysa is the perfect choice.

We had an overall lovely stay at Villa Toros and its tranquil surroundings. The building has so much character and most unique features with English cottage touches. The layout and views were stunning. We had the most amazing customer service from Altan and his team. They were responsive, friendly and very helpful with all our inquiries and helped us book excisions and other local helpful information including booking taxis. We had also paid extra service for airport transfers and we was picked up in spacious Sprinters. We had the most lovely heated pool (one repairs where done) we enjoyed the pool very much. The facilities were good and some materials were provided to wash our clothes. I would recommend the following to improve future stays: The main flowing from the road to the villa is levels out with steps for health and safety of visitors getting in and out the villa. - currently very steep. To ensure bathroom have no moulding in the corners and checked before guests arrive also toilets are leak proof. Check heated pool facilities are working so it don’t take 12/24 hours out our stay to be fixed. Ensure all kitchen equipments are available prior to our arrival. Sun lounging mattresses put on the loungers for guests arrival. Manual gate closing procedure is explained when given Vila keys for when the power cuts take place so we can lock the gate and not have unwanted people arrive. First floor balcony lighting to be fixed for night time to enjoy the balcony. The above would make the stay perfect for when we hope to book again. Thank you Altan again for all your help and support.

We had an absolute great time! The perfect place to be relaxed with amazing surroundings. We didn’t want to leave the villa. Amazing hosts, family ran and always on hand to help. Even made our day by gifting us fruit/veg. We’ll be back for sure, it was a memorable stay :)

The villa itself is the wow factor, from the moment you step inside with the unbelievable Mountain View’s. Wow.. What an amazing place. We've stayed in quite a few places and this was one of the best. The villa was perfect, views to die for and very peaceful. This made for a very relaxing holiday. Communication with Altan was excellent Too many luxuries to talk about, but the heated pool can't go by without a mention! If this place is available for the dates you are looking for, don't hesitate to place a reservation. You won't regret it! Will definitely go back!

Our stay at Villa Royal 2 was absolutely amazing and we really had the most wonderful time. The pictures of the villa from the booking website do not do it justice as it was better. The views from the villa are panoramic and especially amazing at night. The villa staff were so helpful and happy that they made the stay even better. We would definitely come back again. Thank you very much for everything.

the villa was lively and was a good size for a standard family. it was in a rural part ok Turkey which we loved. it was still close enough to the main towns and beaches if needed. lovely and quite area in a lovely surrounding.
