What a beautiful villa! Everything was perfect and sorted out perfectly for us ! Including Transfer to and from airport. Villa is in such an amazing location, with a short walk down to the town, we got taxis back as was very steep going up and in the day was hard ! But taxis were only 200TL back to the villa, so very affordable! Would highly recommend this Villa, we are considering another stay in the future ! And Stephen and Rachelâs communication throughout our stay was extremely helpful !! Thankyou !
Had a great stay. Pool is larger than we expected and really nice. Loved eating lunch on the terrace. There is a shop on the corner which was great for fresh bread in the mornings and other quick shopping. Only issue is that the twin room has a sloping ceiling and reduced height for much of it so it was no good for two grown up children.
We enjoyed a wonderful week in Kalkan. The villa was perfect for our needs. We had a slight hiccup on arrival which was promptly sorted by the owner.
The bedrooms were well sized and spotless.
The kitchen is stocked with all you need, and there's a shop a minutes walk away.
The main area is a 15 min walk down hill, would recommend a taxi home which is very easy to arrange on only costs a couple of quid.
Lovely Vila lovely owners, great communication and very accommodating.
Vila very close to Kalkan town with great amenities and lovely pool, very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing two weeks on the sunshine
This is a great villa if you are looking to visit Kalkan. Spacious, very well laid out and spotlessly clean. The pool and terrace area are beautiful with good quality comfortable sun beds a plenty. You can walk into the hustle and bustle easily in 10 to 15 minutes but a longer, more strenuous (uphill) journey if you walk back. We used the local busses a few times for outings, which was inexpensive and convenient. I would definitely recommend this villa. Thank you Stephen and Rachel for being great, very helpful hosts.
It was great to wind down at Stephen and Rachel's place. Communication with the property manager Gareth was smooth. The pool and the outside area was cleaned daily. For 5 os us we thought it is a very spacious villa. Location is great. A bit hilly when coming back from town centre but a taxi ride is 60 turkish liras which is cheap. However I'd suggest hiring a car to fully enjoy the neighbouring destinations. Overall, I'd highly recommend Calkris.
The property has everything that is needed for a comfortable vacation. One of the 3 bedrooms is at the top floor with a slanted ceiling, smaller compared to others and it is hot but all the rooms have AC so it is manageable.
Kitchen is fully equipped.
It was nice to pick lemon from the tree which had great smell and taste.
The pool is clean and deep enough for a comfortable swim.
Beach is 3-4 minutes away by car -- walking is not an option especially during Summer season, it will be very difficult to walk back.
There is a mini market at 1 minute walking distance.
Staying at Villa Calkris was a total dream! This was my second time back and i wish i was there now. We stayed there for a week in May to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. The weather was incredible and the house is just perfect. It's an incredibly relaxing place to stay with the fantastic pool and the stunning panoramic views over Kalkan bay from the balconies. It's really close to the beach and the town where there are loads of brilliant restaurants, bars, shops etc.
Kalkan is a magical part of the world that I will always have a special place in my heart for and will always return to.
Villa Calkris is just a magical place to stay and Rachel and Stephen are the best hosts you could hope for.
Cant wait for the next time!

Villa Calkris has an air of quality and carefully thought out provision that makes a stay delightful. The pool is deep and crystal clear, all the furniture is deliciously comfortable - each terrace affords wonderful dining and drinking spaces- breakfast in the middle terrace- cocktails on the roof. A short trundle into town( there is a new restaurant just opened in street just down from the villa. ! 2 mins walk). The kitchen was perfect, the fridge was cold and we cheekily used a lemon from the tree to garnish our drinks. Thank you so much. It was a privelage and a pleasure.
Ps- the info packs and directions etc were really useful. We will be back.
We had a lovely stay weather was great few problems at the villa a mosquito door screen fell on us while eating dinner it had been wedged up with a large stone, no light outside front door making it very hard to unlock door, we never got the TV to work not even to watch dvds, we did ask Gareth but he seems to have more than enough problems with his bad arm and I assume he likes a drink as he always smelled of it even in the morning , the pool eara was kept beautiful by the nice lady , and I know it can't be helped but dogs barked constantly all night keeping us awake most of the time,but we loved the town and will return to kalkan xxx
What an enchanting place Kalkan is, coupled with the most beautifully appointed Villa Calkrisand pool made our holiday all the more special. Out hosts Stephen and Rachel even ensured our arrival was hassle free by providing a complementary welcome pack packed with all your 1st couple of days essentials.
We were also, warmly welcomed by Gareth the Villa's maintenance manager who was a fountain of local expert knowledge of the area. Along with the fabulous Ilkur who who ensured the pool and gardens were beautifully maintained during our stay.
The villa itself was immaculate with lots of lovely little touches: spare pairs of reading glasses, a great selection of DVD's a little book library, board games and information pack ~ everything you would need to make the lost out of your stay.
We were even treated to a daily visit by the resident tortoise whom we named Gary :)
Kalkan itself is rather special too, with its splendid array of restaurants and shops all serviced beautifully and noticeably without the usual hassle you might endure elsewhere in Turkey...
Would we stay at Villa Calkris again - without hesitation, we loved it!
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Calkris and loved Kalkan. The panoramic views from the villa right around the bay and of the mountains behind are really breathtaking. This is sepical place! We were glad of the peaceful situation especially at night when the old town started to buzz, but we were still within a stroll of everything - Thursday market only 5 mins away. The villa is really well equipped and well presented - they have thought of everything -and the finishing touches Rachel and Stephen have created have really made it a very special place for stay. We felt immediately at home and thoroughly spoilt! The balconies are all well furnished and there is tons of space - the roof terrace is a particularly amazing space, well equipped for chilling and star gazing! and the huge pool terrace and surrounding gorgeous mature gardens give it such a lush feeling. We would definitely recommend this villa if you are wanting peace, quality and charm - Villa Calkris has it all! Thank you again! We will be back...

Brilliant from start to finish . Stephen the property owner was so helpful before the holiday - sorting out booking problems with Vrbo as well as recommending a local taxi driver for our excursions . The villa is great so much room for myself my husband and two sons (20. /23 ) lovely pool and outdoor spaces to sit and enjoy the sunshine . We ate out every night - spoilt for choice and spent in general ÂŁ100 per evening for the 4 of us to eat including a few rounds of drinks . Steep walk to the old town and harbour from the villa but doable both night and day . Taxi back recommended for a few pounds. 10 minute walk to main supermarket for daily provisions .
Thanks for the use of your beautiful villa . We couldnât have had a better fortnight. Thrown in as an extra âŠ.. a holiday cat that my sons named sneakboâ but I think is actually called meti. We didnât let her into the villa but she waited outside for us each day . Donât forget to feed her. She likes whiskers x
Great stay at villa , from booking, to the taxi to and from the airport everything great
Dealt with Stephen the owner who sorted everything out for us
Villa was great and we really enjoyed our stay , we will be back for sure
Pool great
Von der Kommunikation mit dem Owner bis zur Ausstattung gibt es nichts zu beanstanden.
Die Betten sind sehr bequem, das Pool tief (man kann wirklich nur an einer Stelle stehen, fanden wir aber gut), die Klimaanlage funktioniert und ist nicht zu laut.
Wir wĂŒrden wieder dort hinkommen!
We had a fantastic 2 week holiday, relaxing & plenty of sunshine. The villa was lovely, clean & had all the essentials you needed. The pool was fantastic. Good size & depth. The town of Kalkan is great. Plenty of good resturants & bars to choose from. Although the walk into Kalkan is ok i would advise a taxi back as its a pretty steep incline back. Taxi's are cheap ÂŁ3.00. The cleaner (a neighbour), came every morning to clean around the pool & test it. She also, after the first week came & cleaned the villa, changed bed linen & towells. We didn't have much luck with correspondence with the villa manager who also lived nearby, but upon leaving we saw him to hand over the keys & found that he had been in hospital for a week so it couldn't be helped. All in all an excellent holiday & the owners Stephen & Rachel were excellent with answering my questions before hand.
What a fabulous villa. Wonderfully clean and very impressed with the pool area being cleaned early every day. The view from the roof terrace was beautiful. Only downside was the hill back from town, but a taxi was only ÂŁ2.50 .
Just returned from a 2 week stay in Villa Calkris.
Were to start , everything perfect from start to finish , definitely a holiday to remember.
This was our first visit to Kalkan and this villa and it will not be our last ,we have found a little gem in this place.
Couldn't have asked for more from the communication from the owners Stephen and Rachel ,very helpful and advised us on the best restaurants and trips.Gareth who met us there was a lovely Gentleman and nice to talk to .
The villa is very clean ,tidy ,well looked after , spacious with a home from home feel in a fantastic location ,it took us about 15 minutes to walk into the centre of Kalkan ,it was very hot while there so most days we got a taxi very easy ,it took a few minutes and is worth the 50TL (ÂŁ2.50) Kalkan is truly beautiful with so many beautiful restaurants,bars ,cafes ,shops with amazing views ,a boat trip and beach club are a must .
If you are looking for a lovely villa look no further .We cannot wait to return.
Sarah and family
Fantastic villa in beautiful condition and location
I would wholeheartedly recommend this villa to anyone. Owners couldn't be more helpful and property manager lives just over the road. We will definitely be backđ
Wir haben unsere Aufenthalt im Villa Calkris sehr genossen.
Sehr schön eingerichtet, gepflegt und gerÀumig.
Sowohl der Gasgeber (Stephen) als auch sein (Manger)der Gareth sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich.
Die Villa ist auf jeden Fall weiter zu empfehlen.
Wir werden auch bestimmt wieder Kommen.
Itâs very nice place in Kalkan, cosy and comfort with all needed facilities. Thanks property owner Gareth, heâs very welcome and ready to help in any situation. Car strongly recommended.
We had an amazing stay and would recommend this villa to anyone who wants to visit this lovely part of Turkey.
Only reason for 4 stars on accuracy of online listing was that due to COVID the property had been empty for a while so a number of things needed repairing while we were there. Not a major inconvenience and the property manager took ownership and solved all issues fast and efficiently.
Villa Calkris is very clean ,spacious and well maintained. It is an attractive building with plenty of colourful plants and shrubs surrounding it. Equipment levels both inside and outside are very good and of a high quality. We (2 OAPs) particularly enjoyed the outdoor, covered eating area .There is ample space around a very good sized pool with 6 sun loungers and plenty of shade if required. Access to the town with its shops, many excellent restaurants, beach and beach clubs is easy as taxis are plentiful and cheap-it is feasible to walk into town but given the heat and steepness
I would suggest a 4 wheeled return. For flexibility we hired a car.
The owners-Stephen and Rachel-were extremely easy to deal with in the booking process and invariably sent prompt replies to any enquiries. The local contact-Gareth-was on hand to greet us when we arrived and was an excellent source of help and information.
We had a most enjoyable stay at Villa Calkris and would be more than happy to return.
We loved everything about our holiday in Villa Calkris - so much so that we are seriously considering a return trip next year! The villa was spotlessly clean on arrival, and thoroughly cleaned again half way through our two week stay - the pool area was cleaned on a daily basis too. The facilities at the villa were excellent - the pool area was very spacious, with comfortable good quality loungers and sunshades, and the pool itself was great. The roof terrace was a real highlight - especially in the evening when there was often a welcome breeze. The views were amazing too. The road up to the villa is very steep but we had no problem walking into town every evening and a taxi back only cost about ÂŁ3 straight to the door, with taxis readily available from the town/harbour. The local property manager, Gareth, was a great help - we felt very well looked after by him. We enjoyed everything about Kalkan and we found that nearly everyone we met had been there numerous times - and we can quite understand why! We had great fun on the Jeep Safari trip that we took to Saklikent gorge and the river rafting there was fantastic. Patara beach is well worth a visit, and a boat trip on one of the many boats from the harbour is a âmustâ. We tried out a couple of the beach clubs, which our teenage sons really enjoyed (especially the water sports!) and there is an abundance of excellent restaurants and bars in town - spoilt for choice in fact! What a fantastic place for a holiday - we would highly recommend it.
We were struck by the timeless feel to Turkey and by the priorities the local people have in their daily lives - of making time for family,for food, even for tea(!) Having found the delights of the Kalkan area we, like many people, fell in love with its sheer beauty and the alluring simplicity of life in this region as well as the wonderful people who live here. We now spend much of the year in Turkey - It is a very special part of the world with an inciting culture, mouthwatering cuisine and wonderfully natural and varied landscapes. We hope at Villa Calkris you too will experience the sheer magic of the Kalkan experience.
Kalkan is at at the heart of the Lycian Coast. its proximity to the most fantastic beaches as well as some of the most amazing sites of ancient world make it a brilliant place to have a holiday. There is no shortage of things to do. Kalkan is a sophisticated destination which has retained its simplicity and natural beauty, but has also become a culinary paradise for those who like to dine and eat the finest. Prices are low compared to the rest of western Europe and the quality is very high. Combine this with the warmth of welcome you receive from the local people and the efforts they make to ensure your stay is one you will remember, make it a perfect place for your holiday.
What enticed us to this region was how the unspoilt surrounding countryside and mountains. The views from the roof terrace are simply amazing and make the Villa's position one that enjoys the whole vista of Kalkan Bay as well as the surrounding mountains. Villa Calkris is fortunate to be far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the village nightlife to enjoys its own peace and tranquillity, especially in the evenings, but to be close enough to reach by foot without the need for a car.
