Guest reviews

We rented Villa Oceanic in LaVanta. We had a brilliant stay at the villa. It was wonderful and well maintained. We have stayed in the resort a few times and never had any problems - it's always been fantastic. This Is Kalkan was super helpful with us in the run up to our holiday - being during the Covid crisis of 2020 - we would recommend this agent and will be looking to work with them again in the future.

Well, what can I say. Nothing Is too much to ask for the guys to help... Due to Covid we had to seek alternative accommodation with the guys going out of their way to find us a lovely alternative. Whether organising transfers, boat trips, excursions or even recommending one of the manv local restaurants. their knowledge of the local area is second to none. When we return to Kalkan no doubt we will be in contact again.

Our first stav at Lavanta, Kalkan and we truly enjoyed our stay. Our villa was beautiful and had all the necessities upon arrival. The boys at This Is Kalkan did an amazing job organising everything for us, and kept us fully up-to- speed during the Covid crisis. We will be staying again. Thank you Stephen & Ieuan X

Stephen is a great host with a kind approach. Villa Azure is a great property for families and well equipped for almost everything that you might need during your holidays!!

Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub. Im Haus war alles was man brauchte sogar Spielzeug für meinen Sohn das war für uns das beste👍🏼. Das Haus und der Pool traumhaft. Danke für den schönen Urlaub.

Thank you for the opportunity to stay at Villa Keady and to experience the offer at LaVanta. The place we call home. I do hope you had a great time and enjoyed the fantastic uninterrupted views of Kalkan bay from the comfort of the infinity pool at Villa Keady; and that it won't be long until you return.

We loved this place! Beautiful view, nice dining areas, great to have a BBQ and the club house is really great too. Thanks so much. Will

Alles war perfekt, die Einrichtung, die Umgebung, die wunderschöne Aussicht vom Balkon und auch dem gemeinsam genutzten Pool. Hervorzuheben ist die besondere Ausstattung bei der es uns wirklich an nichts fehlte. Man fühlt sich hier wie zu Hause und obendrein gab es noch ein schönes Wilkommensgeschenk. Vielen Dank!

LAVANTA is a terrific location. Set in the hills above Kalkan allows it to have a nice breeze, instead of the heat you get closer to the sea. Only 30 lira into town in a taxi, which was less than 5 minutes. The resorts pool and restaurant was spectacular as well. Stephen was a super host and introduced us to many of his friends in the villa community. The villa was modern, clean and had every amenity. We will definitely be back to LAVANTA..

Harika bir konumda, tüm ihtiyaçlarınıza çözüm bulabileceğiniz olanaklara sahip,nezih bir sitede unutulmaz bir tatil.

Villa Keady - Great villa, superb pool & terrace area plus a communal infinity pool if you fancy a drink at the bar with a gorgeous view. Only 5 mins in a cab to the incredible array of restaurants in the harbour. Just so peaceful & relaxing up in La Vanta.

Villa Azure - Lovely clean and spacious apartment, exactly as described. Pool and clubhouse were excellent and the views were amazing. Kalkan was great of an evening with plenty of restaurants and bars. Will definitely be back!

We had a lovely stay at Villa Bethany - it is so well equipped with everything you need! Our 18 month old certainly enjoyed the toys 🙂 The complex of Le Vanta itself is beautiful, the shared pool has amazing views and the restaurant and bar have just reopened for the summer! The only negative is that the villa isn’t really in walking distance of Kalkan.. Other than that, I would definitely recommend the villa 🙂

We stayed in Villa Patricia at La Vanta, Kalkan and had an amazing time. The Villa is modern, spacious, immaculate and had everything we needed and the outdoor space the same. We loved the garden, the different tables you could eat at, the bbq and of course the pool. The location was ideal for us - a 5 min drive up the hill from town so nice and quiet with views of the beautiful bay. Villa Patricia is right in front of the clubhouse at La Vanta which was perfect for us - the kids (aged 11, 9 & 7) loved the milkshakes up there and of course the larger infinity pool. The clubhouse has a really relaxed vibe, nice music, simple lunches, perfectly chilled beers and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful! And yet we couldn’t hear it from the Villa despite being so close!...

We had the best holiday. Villa Bethany was amazing and just as it looked on the photos. We couldn’t fault it for anything. The pool was lovely and the kitchen has every appliance! The club house was really amazing and we spent far too much on food and drinks! Pool there outstanding as were the staff. We would come back in a heartbeat for a really wonderful relaxing holiday. So glad I found it! Thank you

Absolutely faultless, everything lived up to expectations and more. Villa Azure was perfect, location on LaVanta perfect (less than 1 minute walk to the pool/clubhouse), villa had every utensil/equipment you could possibly need, the thoughtful welcome pack of food in fridge, fresh bread, tea and coffee etc was like having a big hug when we arrived tired in the middle of the night. Will be coming back to LaVanta again, so much more to do and see and LaVanta was the perfect springboard to everything in Kalkan and the surrounding areas.

Perfect villa - Yüzbir. Wonderful location. Pool is perfect. Comfortable and clean. We hope to return.

We have just spent the most amazing 10 days in a wonderful Villa (Iskender) here in Kalkan organised through Stephen at This Is Kalkan Ltd, we can not recommend him or his services enough, he was at the end of WhatsApp & email whenever I needed direction, he even organised our airport transport which all ran smoothly, if you haven’t booked your Villa yet I highly recommend you contact This Is Kalkan, we will be back as Kalkan has been one of our favourite destinations over the years and will definitely be in contact with Stephen again we can not thank him enough just wonderful from start up finish!

Wonderful stay at Villa Azure, LaVanta. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Welcome pack was a lovely surprise. Stephen was also always on hand with some great advice on what to do .

Stephen is a great host! When we arrived at Apartment Safak in the evening, there were food in the refrigerator, which was very impressive. The apartments have everything you need for relaxation and life. The kitchen has all the utensils, washing machine, iron, clothes dryer. On the territory there is a swimming pool with a beautiful view of the sea and a restaurant where delicious food is prepared. The territory is guarded. Thank you, Stephen, for your hospitality. It was very nice to meet you. We want to come back here again.

Villa Yüzbir is situated at the small new village with other similar villas around (but we think it's one of the best). The rooms and outside area correspond to the pictures. The beds are comfy. The kitchen is very well equipped, very easy to cook. The view is amazing, the furniture on the terrace is very comfortable. It was a great stay!

Hi all, I stayed in the MeLu apartment in Kalkan. This was the first time I've travelled on my own. It was a wonderful experience. From arriving at the airport to leaving the service was first class. MeLu apartment is like a home not an apartment. I could have happily lived on the balcony with its amazing views over the sea all week. The clubhouse is within 100 yds for amazing food and the family that own it couldn't be nicer. I had dinner with them and can't say enough about this place The apartment is stunning, has everything you need and I'm definitely going back. I'd book early if I was you!

Villa Jasmine. Another wonderful stay at La Vanta! Stephen was, as always, exceptionally helpful, welcoming and efficient and ensured we had everything we needed, always answering our requests and queries by return. We can't wait to go back 😊

2 senedir kalkandaki tatilimiz için tercih ediyoruz. Çok memnun kaldığımız bir villa tatili oldu. Hem temizlik hem de evle ilgili her sorunumuzda yardımcı oluyorlar. Villa tatili düşünüyorsanız kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum.

...very nice and clean villa would definitely recommend Villa Karaagac. Thank you Stephen for such a easy booking for my birthday 🥳 had wonderful birthday thanks again.

Overall a very pleasant stay at Villa Bethany. Great location and use of clubhouse a big plus.

Villa Azure - Great location away from bustle of Kalkan but only a short taxi away. Amazing view from pool and resort restaurant. Loved it x. Beautiful cosy duplex on an upmarket pretty resort above Kalkan Great atmosphere and surroundings. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you for the delightful Club Patara 144 that made our stay in the Patara Prince complex so enjoyable. The apartment is just the right size for the two. Neat, clean and tidy, compact and has all the facilities that are required for a relaxing break. Quick responses to our questions, organisation, help with arrangements and 'on location' assistance from Ibrahim were greatly appreciated.

Club Patara 145 - It was a wonderful holiday . Everything is very nice. Comfortable place, very nice and clean sea, wonderful sea view from house, very nice terrace, good house decoration, very close to Kalkan. We will definitely come back again.

Evin konumu gayet güzel. Kalkan merkeze ve marketlere araba ile 3 dakikalık mesafede olması çok konforluydu. Sitenin ortak havuzu büyük ve temizdi. Havuzun kendi snack barındaki yiyecekler gayet lezzetli ve fiyat olarak çoğu yerden daha uygundu. 7/24 sitenin güvenliği olması ve herhangi bir teknik sorunda telefonla site görevlilerinden yardım alabilme tatil konforunu arttırdı. Bütün odalar ve salonda sorunsuz çalışan klimalae mevcut. 3 banyosuna rağmen sıcak suda da hiç sorun yaşamadan tatilimizi bitirebildik. Totalde evden ve siteden çok memnun kaldık tekrar aynı yeri kiralama konusunda istekli olduğumuz nadir villalar arasına girdi.

Gerçekten keyif aldık ve huzur bulduk . Evin bulunduğu site , evin konumu ve mahremiyeti güzeldi. Belki sadece internet bağlantısı ile ilgili olarak yoğunluktan kaynaklı olabilir biraz sorun yaşadık . Onunlada Stephan olsun yerel yetkili olsun çok hızlı ve gerçekten ilgili davrandılar . Kendilerine teşekkür ediyorum.

Our stay in this apartment was great, we stayed in Patara Prince in the past multiple times and our favorite stay was definitely in this apartment! It was well cleaned and just as in the photos. (With an amazing sea view) Stephen replied to all of our questions very fast and took prompt action... About the complex, I highly recommend it to everyone who plans to stay in Kas/Kalkan as you have direct access to the beach and super clean sea as sometimes it might be challenging in Kas region to find easy access to the sea. It is also very close to Kalkan’s center. Just one thing to keep in mind is that Patara Prince is not a very new complex (although architecturally very beautiful), hence don’t expect luxury but comfort, peace and an amazing view from your balcony and that if anything happens, Stephen will be there to help you fix any issues you might face during your stay. Thanks for hosting us Stephen!!!

Sehr schöner Ort zum verweilen

We had a wonderful 12 nights stay at Villa Blue. The terrace, the pool, everything in and outside the house were terrific. The guys working on the premises were very helpful and brought us the things we needed (like water or a Turkish Coffee-Pot) in no time. We definitely recommend LaVanta and its villas and hope to come back to enjoy the fantastic accommodation again. Thank you all at Lavanta!

Kalkan is a beautiful place, and our stay at Club Patara was delightful. The experience we had in this charming small town was truly exceptional, thanks to the assistance of Stephen Hillcoat throughout our stay. Stephen is a gem of a person, always available and willing to help us with anything we needed. He provided us with fantastic restaurant recommendations and suggested must-visit places in the area. Moreover, he even assisted us in finding storage and transportation options, and he didn't hesitate to guide us to the best local bakery that offered the most delicious Baghlava. Overall, our time in Kalkan was made memorable and enjoyable, all thanks to Stephen's genuine care and support. We highly recommend Club Patara and its outstanding staff for anyone looking to have an unforgettable experience in this beautiful town.

Our large multi-family group (16 people) booked villas, transfers, chartered a boat and took trips to Saklikent all arranged with Stephen at This is Kalkan. Couldn’t be more pleased. Everything worked out perfectly, the accommodation was great and Stephen was so prompt setting things up for us, literally organizing transfers in minutes. Prices were competitive and even when there was a small problem due to a mixup by another agent about one of our villas, Stephen came to the villa immediately to make sure it was sorted and bought us a couple of bottles of wine to boot! Multiple members of our group were in contact and making arrangements and nothing was too much trouble. Also a pleasure to deal with. Thanks guys for making our big family holiday such a success!

Villa Bethany - Konaklamamiz tek kelimeyle muhtesemdi. Evde yok yok gercekten.. ihtiyaciniz olacak hersey var hatta ihtiyacinizdan cok cok fazlasi var.. bahcesi cok keyifli.. ozellikle bahçedeki kaplumbagalar , bahcemize girip cikan kediler ve tatli bir tanri misafiri guzel bir kopek.. kizim onlarla vakit gecirmeye doyamadi.. ev tertemizdi, site yonetimi zor bi durumdayken hemen yardima kostu..anahtari evde unutup kapiyi cekmis bulunduk ve bahcede mahsur kaldik.. yonetici İbrahim bey hemen gelip sorunu çözdü. Evde 4 yetiskin bir cocuk kaldik .. bu sayi icin ideal bi ev.. ilk geldigimiz gün icin dolapta ekmek peynir süt meyvesuyu reçel birakilmis.. sadece bahceden manzaraya hakim olacagimizi dusunmustum ama bahceden maalesef manzara gorunmuyor.. ama sosyal alandaki cafede mukemmel bir manzara var.. sonsuzluk havuzu gercekten cok iyi..

ıt was a unforgettable memory for me and my freinds. The house - Villa Bethany - has everything what you need. The place was also great and infinite pool has gorgeous view. And Stephan is so helpful. Here is the one of the best place stay in kanka. #thisiskalkan

Club Patara 143 - Konaklamaya girişten çıkışa kadar hiçbir sorun yaşanmadı. Oldukça temizdi, eksiksizdi. Evde bulunan her şey düzgünce çalışıyordu ve evin manzarası harikaydı

Villa Mavi - rating of 9/10 on Booking.com with no text

Villa Blue - Lovely villa. Well presented and very well organised. Love the location too. Kalkan is so lovely! (9/10 rating on Booking.com)

Villa Azure - The House had all we needed.. The beds were very comfortable. There is an amazing club house, it was so well run. the pool is spectacular. Their food was amazing from them. The view from the club house was wonderful. There are cats and dogs all over the place which are so friendly, one think you have to feel sorry for them as you think they are strays, but they are so well looked after. us being animal lovers , loved having them around. I absolutely recommend this location. one needs to catch taxi's everywhere, but it's cheap enough. (10/10 rating on Booking.com)

Villa Bethany - Having a green garden with flowers and butterflies instead of just a patio was truly lovely. 5 minutes walk from Clubhouse and thankfully a flat one. Quiet, pretty and lovely. (10/10 rating on Booking.com)

Villa Bethany - It was a great experience, we stayed as a family of 5 and enjoyed all parts of the accommodation. (9/10 rating on Booking.com)
