Fantastic villa. Brilliant location. Great Pool. Absolutely amazing views. Perfect holiday. And thanks to Libby for recommending the trout farm restaurant, boat trip, and beach club days out... we've re-booked for this summer. Can't wait.

Absolute bliss

We went to stay in Villa Iskander in the 2nd week of September and I can not rate it highly enough. We had a mixed group of 20 something year olds and 50 somethings, and the villa suited both groups equally well. The bedrooms are all very spacious with air condiitoning and have a very stylish feel to them. It was great to have the 3 diferent outside areas (roof top terrace, balcony & pool side) to suit all - and to provide some shade in the heat of the day. The owners of the villa have provided everything you would need - from stereo player with ipod connection, to board games.

Kalkan as a resort was lovely - nice shops, excellent restaurants, friendly people, and close to Patara beach and the mountains. I highly recommend a trip on a boat for the day as well as a trip up the mountains to one of the family run trout farms. There are also ancient greek ruins next to Patara beach which are in a remarkable state and well worth a look.

I couldn't recommend the villa or Kalkan more highly to anyone - so much so, a group of us are already planning to go back next year.

Villa Iskender is a lovely villa with everything you need for a truly relaxing holiday - the air conditioning in every room was a God-send in hot and sometimes humid August! It is very quiet, great for chilling out. The kids loved the pool (no shallow end so not ideal for non-swimmers), which is topped up and cleaned every day. It's a short (steep) downhill walk into town and a cheap taxi ride back, which we found essential after sampling the delights of Kalkan's numerous excellent restaurants and bars! Best meal out was at Trio on the harbour front, poshest bar was Gironda, best day out was the gullet trip on the Yildiz 2 - fantastic, truly memorable day with delicious food freshly prepared on the boat! Enjoyed the Kalamar Beach Club but watch out for pricey drinks there - good for snorkelling and scuba diving. And don't forget the great shopping in Kalkan itself, leave room in your case for some extra goodies to bring back. We arranged our transfers with the villa owners which made getting to and from the airport easy, and we used the information provided about restaurants and bars to ensure we never had a bad meal. We felt a bit like locals! The kids didn't need to use the tv or Xbox in the villa as the weather was so good but we did make use of the music system to play CDs and iPods. All in all, we would recommend going to Kalkan and Villa Iskender to our friends for a fantastic holiday.

We went to Kalkan with great expectations - and we were not disappointed! The villa is perfect for sharing between 2 families (we were 4 adults and six children). The walking distance down to the harbour is nice and we actually managed to walk "all the way back home too..." It only takes about 20 mins. The view is fantastic from the villa and there is a peaceful atmosphere when just relaxing by the pool which is just big enough for 2 families going on holiday together! We were taken good care of at Doy Doy and Sandels restaurants down in Kalkan. They provided great service and good food. Our best recommendations to Villa Iskender and Kalkan - Do go on a boat-trip with swimming off the boat and then lunch on board!! Forgot to mention that!!

Great place to share with friends. Lots of space to be together to chat or relax but easy to have total privacy too! Many of the group were American & all commented on the amazing service we received everywhere we went. Nobody can do enough for you... we stopped for a night cap at midnight (when the shops close!), & a friend commented on the fact she fancied some turkish delight - the barman dissapeared on his moped for 10 minutes & returned with a selection to go with our drinks - totally complimentary!! I can't recommend this place or this villa higly enough - Just go & see for yourself.

Came out to this villa booked by my parents as a surprise (got an easy jet sale seat for 19.99) Villa absolutly fab waking up to such a wonderful view everymorning. Pool area great, loads of room - good selection of DVD's to watch in the airconditioned longearea when the sun was too hot to be outside, and some fairly good computer games. Had a great time.

If you know Kalkan then the town lived up to its usual standard, We have stayed in various little parts of the area and Villa Iskender was an ideal location, close enough to town to walk in, not too high up but just enough to get a breeze.
We booked the villa as 2 couples and arranged to meet 2 old family friends from Australia who were touring around Turkey and took a week out of their tour to meet with us in Kalkan. Mid way through the week my daughter and her friend arrived for a few days and never once did we feel cramped or on top of each other. The villa lived up to its description and the pictures, we had problem once with water pressure being low but the managing agent sent someone up within 1/2 hour - in fact it was a town probllem that evening, but good to know there was somone there in case of problems. We had a great week and would throughly recommend this location as a family or friends type holiday.

We have just returned from a wonderful family holiday with members of varying ages. The villa is lovely. Clean and spacious. The pool was a delight to come back to after a day spent shopping at the wonderful markets in Kalkan or Fethye. We were so impressed we are returning to the Villa at the end of the year.

last minute holiday at Christmas

Just thought we would get away at Christmas, and having has such a nice summer holiday in Kalkan, thought we would see what the winter had to hold. Weather was good, nice and sunny - bit cold in the evening. The villa was absolutly fantastic and with so much space The villa was ideally placed ,our 2 boys (10 and 8) spent hours exploring the area around the villa and finding all the different routes home. The roof garden was superb, just the place to sit in the evening under the stars. I have already booked again, one for a long weekend with my 8 girl friends and another family holiday. If you love Kalkan then I would have no hesitation in recommening this villa.
