Superb Views, Service and Location in Kas
Review Submitted: June 22, 2010
Date of Stay: May 2010
My husband and I stayed 3 weeks in May/June 2010. We did not want to leave. We sought a clean, quiet place on the coast with great views, a pool, near a beach, with air-con and high speed internet in a beautiful area. Villa Dundar fit the bill perfectly.
The eldest son Erdem spoke excellent English as did his father Tevfik and brother Ergun. This lovely family plus mother Gonul made our stay a very special experience of Turkish hospitality. We rented the two-bed top floor apartment.
The villa is an oasis of peace. Set on a ridge above Big Pebble Beach with unobstructed views over the sea, the boats, Kas, the peninsula, the mountains and surrounding hills and countryside. We could even see the ruins of the ancient amphitheater in Kas.
We practically lived out on the big balcony. There is a lounger, a great hammock and table and chairs. With it's tiled floor, double french doors and vaulted wood ceiling it was like an extra living room. It was cool and shaded. The other balcony off the master bedroom had great views too and got the sun which would be great in cooler months.
Below you are surrounded by trees and flowers in the large garden and pool with the hills, mountains and bays beyond. There was beautiful birdsong, the hum of cicadas and the soothing sound of the sea washing over the pebbles on the beach - magic. It's like living in a national park. The world famous Lycian Way hike goes right by the house and when you walk into town you are walking on it.
The villa is a comfy beach house in homey Turkish style. It is spacious, light and airy with screens on some of the windows. Lovely sea breezes and lots of windows kept the house very comfortable. The air-con worked very well too.The main bathroom has electric water heating that was best set on 2 or 1. The master ensuite had a small shower stall with no curtain, but was useful for the extra toilet and basin. The kitchenette had a 3 hob gas burner, an electric grill and a big fridge/freezer. We used the barbeque almost every night. There is no oven. Plenty of dishes and utensils.
We didn't have a car. The beach was an easy walk down the hill and there were 5 or 6 restaurants. We often walked into Kas (30 minutes) and came back on the dolmuses with groceries. Each morning the baker van toots his horn outside and you can buy your fresh bread. There is a water cooler and drinking water is delivered to the house. Kas is a sweet unspoiled gorgeous Turkish town. Highly recommended.
