We’ve just come back from a fabulous stay at Dahlia! The living space is very spacious with gorgeous bedrooms, balconies, kitchen and living area. The location was ideal for us with just a short walk into town of an evening with a 15tl taxi home in the evening. This is the fourth time we’ve been to Kalkan and I would go back time and time again, my favourite place on earth!! The reason I give 4 stars is purely because of the sunbathing space. There were 4 adults staying including myself and it felt a little cramped when we were all on the sunbeds. My family and I spend a lot of time relaxing by the pool so for 6 adults I’m not sure the space by the pool would be adaquate, although it’s perfect for a couple I would say. The fridge full of goodies was a lovely surprise and just what we needed after many hours travelling. For me personally I found the mattress in the master bedroom very hard but that’s just personal preference. Love love love this place!!! See you soon!

We loved our time in Kalkan and Dahlia is a beautiful apartment with stunning views of the Bay and the town below. All our needs were catered for by Fathi who delivered shopping, wine and all the essentials as well as servicing the pool. Very relaxing break, highly reccommended.

Kalkan is an excellent location about 1.5 hours taxi ride from Dalaman airport (£55 for a large cab organised via Adda Tours). The town is a lovely mix of old town and newer builds around it. The harbour and beach are beautiful. There is a pleasant breeze all day but it does get hot. The apartment is in a small block of five or six apartments. The apartment is over the top two stories on one half of the block. It has one double bedroom with en-suite and balcony overlooking the sea, one double bedroom with balcony overlooking the sea and another twin bedroom plus a family bathroom. Upstairs is open plan with a kitchen/dining and family room area and a small toilet room. There are two supermarkets within a 2 and 5 minute walk. Town is some 10-15 minutes walking. The bars and restaurants are close but not too close. Choose a nice restaurant away from the harbour front as prices and much better - we typically paid TL 60 each (about £10) for a main course and a drink. Try the local pancakes as well! The swimming pool is perfect for a family to hang around in. It is on the top floor adjacent to the family room with four sun loungers and large sun umbrella. The balcony wraps around the front of the apartment. The balcony and the pool have beautiful views of the bay and sea and are pretty private. All rooms have aircon - essential in the summer heat. We went on several tours with Adda Tours; a trip to Saklikent Gorge (amazing), Tlos, scuba diving in the bay etc. The owner is very helpful and communicates very well. We would definitely go again. It is so good. The only reason this review is not giving 5 stars is that the beds are incredibly hard and uncomfortable to the point where we found sleep difficult. And I like a firmer mattress!

This property is perfect for a stay in Kalkan. The privacy provided by the position together with view make it idyllic. This is the second time we have returned and we will be booking again. The apartment is clean, airy and well equipped. Nothing has been left to chance making it a home from home. The pool man and housekeeper could not be more helpful and they speak fluent English. They were fantastic this year accommodating a late arrival due to flight difficulties. We cannot recommend this appartment enough. You will not be disappointed.

I am pleased to share that Dahlia Penthouse is everything you'd hope for in a holiday penthouse. The facilities are fantastic, There is a private pool and also a stunning roof terrace which provides a fabulous sun bathing platform as well as a perfect spot for drinks in the evening We really were delighted with our choice of penthouse, we stayed 8 days and I wish it had been 88 days, I very much hope to return in the future. C.T.

Spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished this apartment offered us all we needed to enjoy our first visit to Kalkan. A 10 minute downhill walk to the harbour and town and a taxi back for 10TL! Beautiful sea and mountain views from the terraces and pool area with plentiful comfortable seating and luxury lounges. We made good use of the dolmus at the bus station at the end of the approach lane, enjoying trios to Kas and Patara beach, both highly recommended. Thanks to Alan for our rental and to Fatih and Sahra for being always available

Superb Penthouse, could not have wished for anything more! Spacious, scrupulously clean, very well equipped, beautiful views and a walk away from the sea, local beach and local restaurants. There are also a private pool and a stunning roof terrace which provides a fabulous sun bathing platform as well as a perfect spot for drinks in the evening. The property is very nicely built and maintained. The owner was responsive to all inquiries and the maintenance team promptly responded to all our requests (including when we asked for a Turkish-style tea pot and coffee maker). Kalkan is a bustling seaside village a few mins.taxi ride, Patara, a stunning sandy beach, a 15 min.drive.away and Kaputas beach, turquoise colour water with sandy beach, 7 mins away by mini bus or local taxi . There is something for all the family, including boat trips and scuba diving. Very highly recommended indeed!

After a stressful arrival at Dalaman airport nothing prepared us for such a lovely first view and welcoming villa !! Beautiful villa and pool which we spent nearly all the time in , lovely comfortable beds and balcony to relax on if you want to get away from everyone for a bit Sundowner time was our favourite part of the day just amazing with a glass or two or perhaps four each night made for a very special time !! The whole villa surpassed our expectations and had absolutely everything we needed in it , the supermarket was with in easy reach each day and the restaurants were all fabulous , I don't think we had a bad meal out , jumping into a taxi each night to go back up the hill was our only downfall !! The internet was fast , the only thing we couldn't work out was the TV which was probably a good thing to get away from all the bad news for a week A truly lovely holiday and made all the more special by a wonderful villa which we will have no problem in recommending Thanks for a great holiday

Alan's apartment is exactly how its described on the site. The Master Bedroom is particularly nice and we accommodated a family of 5, with 3 large teenagers, easily. Deniz met us on arrival as promised and gave us everything we needed. Views from the balcony are spectacular and we enjoyed loafing in the pool. The walk back up the hill after dinner helps burn the calories after too much great food and wine. Kalkan is well worth a visit and caters for the English very well. Visit soon as tourist numbers are currently low but are on the up again.

Stayed 14th August 2017- 21st August 2017 This was our 5th visit to Kalkan and by far the best accommodation. The apartment was both ideally placed and very well equipped which suited all our family’s needs. It was modern and well maintained. The owner (Alan) was extremely attentive to ensure that all our needs were met. We would certainly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking to visit Kalkan for the first time or for a repeat holiday.

A piece of heaven here on earth Everything you could wish for and more 5* villa with 5* facilities and a team to match taking care of you from before you arrive to you leave Kalkan It's the real deal and sometimes people think these comments are fake but I can assure you these ones are not

Arriving in the afternoon heat there was someone at the property to welcome us and show us around which was very helpful. A fresh water cooler was ready with a nice fresh starter pack with bread , fruit and other essentials. The property was very clean and the views, well the views were breath taking . The location of the property was perfect just a few minutes walk from the supermarket and restaurants. Just the right distance away from the busy area of Kalkan and a nice quite location for the property for peace and quiet. The information and help provided by Alan before the visit was excellent ( a true gentleman ) and also Deniz both were always there when needed. Deniz was so helpful God bless her nothing was too much and was always at hand , when we required a car hire or anything else she was at hand any time Overall we had an amazing stay and will definitely be returning to Kalkan and hopefully to this property ( if it is available , I can see why it is always fully booked now as the service and property are 5*) Thank you To Alan and Deniz for making our 1st and definitely not last stay in Kalkan one too remember for sure . I have already recommended to friends and family and would definitely recommend to anyone. You will not be disappointed.

This apartment is spacious, modern, clean and has all the equipment and facilities you need for your stay. The outside area is compact but perfect for relaxing around the pool. We loved the position and contacting the housekeeper was easy and service was prompt. We love the village and particularly the restaurant Sade and Alternatif. Food and views were fabulous. We will be re-booking next year.

Awesome experience, would recommend to anyone!

We have visited Kalkan several times but have to say that the Elif Apartment was so beautiful and amazing ! The apartment was exactly like the photos showed so we were very pleased to arrive to such a lovely clean modern and spacious place that exceeded our expectations. The owner was very helpful before our trip. There’s lots of things to do (we read this in the informative pack that the owner left) but we spent most of our time lazing around the pool and never tired of the view. We ate out every night and every night seemed better than the first (even though the first was first class!). The Old Town of Kalkan was so pretty and we enjoyed our evenings meandering in and out of the shops and chatting to the friendly locals. We didn’t hire a car so used the services of a taxi driver) - it cost approx. £3 from the taxi rank to the apartment. Many restaurants and cafes to tempt you - or just have a Turkish coffee and watch the world go by!. All in all this holiday was unforgettable for all the right reasons, the apartment was fantastic, the people very friendly and owner very helpful. We would definitely recommend the apartment very highly. We were so sad to have to leave and will return next year.

The property was just as displayed on the website. It was clean and spacious and comfortable. The furniture and decor was in pristine condition, and there were good additional touches i.e. Laundry soap, washing up liquid and sponges etc. Little things that are often not provided that one often has to buy. Unfortunately there was problems with the TV signal so we were unable to take advantage of the English channels and Sky package, but Alan Williams did his very best to get things sorted, was quick to communicate and very apologetic when the issues could not be resolved.

A well maintained and perfectly clean apartment is always a good starting point. Top marks there. Hosting, contact and information was very prompt, efficient and never lacking. Transfers to and form the property were organised with a local firm guaranteeing a good deal and hassle free journeys, to what is often the most frustrating and depressing part of any holiday. Again full marks. Plenty of space in the apartment with very comfortable beds and furniture. Sleep is a big part of relaxing and enjoying a holiday, so it is important that the beds are new. Many stays are ruined when after an amazing day one lays tossing and turning in an uncomfortable bed. No problems here - apart from my snoring maybe!?! Good views from the terraces and pool area. Cleaned everyday the pool is well maintained, perfect for cooling off but to avoid any disappointment not big enough for a proper swim. Why anyone would feel the need to have to swim in the pool though when there is a massive big blue wobbly thing nearby ... namely, the sea. Crystal clear blue waters in the harbour, bays and beaches. Very buoyant, so good for the little ones too. Local amenities are fine, and only a short walk to the harbour (town centre) where there is a large selection of restaurants and bars to accommodate for most tastes. Very good value for money and well worth a visit. Thanks.

Just spent 10 nights in the Elif apartment after a hectic 5 days in Istanbul. We were welcomed on arrival by Derya who maintains the apartment and Murat who is the pool attendant The apartment is very spacious and in an ideal yet peaceful location only a 12 minute stroll to the main action. As Kalkan is built up a hill, I would recommend a taxi when returning at night - £2.50 bargain! The balcony offers an uninterrupted view down to the town and across the bay and can be most appreciated with a glass of chilled white wine. Everything that we needed was in the apartment which was tastefully decorated, furnished and well maintained. The pool area had plenty space for relaxing and was much used by the kids. I would thoroughly recommend this property to anyone thinking of visiting Kalkan. I cannot fault it.

We have just had an amazing holiday at Apartment Dahlia in Kalkan. This is our second time back in Kalkan and love it even more now. Dahlia is in a fantastic position, with about a 15-20 walk to get you to shops, restaurants, beach and harbour. The apartment itself is lovely and had everything we needed as a family of 5. The rooftop pool and terrace are great with the most fantastic views all around of mountains and the bay. There is a lovely family run restaurant called Our Home nearby and serves great food and of course, all the restaurants down in the town are all good. We had a great day on Maya Boat which you can get from the harbour, lots of dancing with Mustafa who is quite a character! They served a very tasty lunch and took us round all the bays around Kalkan. Thank you Alan for a very smooth booking etc and the pool man and cleaners are very good. We would recommend Adda Tours for the transfers, who were very prompt and efficient, and even stopped on the way to the apartment, late at night, at a restaurant/shop on the way, where we had a lovely kebab and drink and where able to get some water etc to take back to the apartment. We are missing Kalkan already and are hoping to return again this year. Thanks again Alan. The Hayes Family
