This was our first time in Turkey and Kalkan, it had been recommended by a friend so we thought we would give it a go. Neil was quick with his response to our enquiry about Villa Elsa and from the time we confirmed the booking he was on the ball, giving us information about the area and offering assistance. Let Neil take care of the car for you with Ozgur from Define Tours, the best car hire service I've ever had!
As we arrived at Dalaman late, the car hire delivery driver took us to the villa so we didn't get lost in the dark.
The villa was spotless and well equipped with plenty of space for the four of us, six would be no problem.
Kalkan is a clean, safe and attractive town with plenty of facilities. We were diving and took our dive trips out of Kas, a scenic 20 minute drive away. We would recommend Natura Blue in Kas, we tried the local Kalamar Dive boat but we're very disappointed in comparison. Maybe it was because were the last of the season but they didn't seem interested and just went through the motions.
The pool was a lovely size, if a little fresh (but is was October) and plenty of nice furniture around the pool. Beautiful views of The bay from all levels, especially the upper terrace.
We have stayed in plenty of villas and apartments and this is among the best of the lot, none better at the price.
I must admit to finding the hills a bit challenging, but taxis to and from the town are cheap enough if you can't handle the walk.
One of our best Holidays so far and I thoroughly recommend tVilla Elsa
