Reviews of Property: 3 Bedroom all en-suite Villa in Calis Beach Turkey. Sleeps 6

Lina was really helpful & was happy to answer all of my questions before I made the booking. The listing description was accurate & the villa was clean & finished to a high standard. The pool area is lovely with plenty of sun/shade all day long; it is in a raised area so something for those with small children to consider. The villa sleeps 6 with ease; there is plenty of space & storage.
The villa is in a quiet location approximately 15-20 minute walk (walking speed depends on the temperature!) to Chalis Beach where there are bars/restaurants; many on the beach front where you can watch the renowned beautiful sunsets. There are regular dolmus' into Chalis & nearby Fethiye, if you prefer; they cost about 60 pence/person & you get on/off at any point along the route. A car is not essential but if you have children & need a lot of shopping it may be useful to hire a car. Lina arranged transfers on our behalf & the driver offered to stop at a supermarket so we could stock up on supplies (as we arrived in the dark); he also gave us information about dolmus' etc
Hakan the neighbour is very helpful; he stocked up the fridge with water for our arrival so we didn't have to carry large bottles. He was always on hand to ask advice & bid us farewell at 5.30 am!
There are plenty of excursions/boat trips from the Chalis area, including boat trips to bays around the area, private boat hire & sight seeing tours to Saklikent Gorge & other attractions. Butterfly Valley was disappointing but I would recommended the rest! The majority of agents will collect you from the villa or Huzurevi (apparently the local "old people's home"! which is just a 2 min walk from the villa) The dolmus' are easy to use & we used these to go to Olu Deniz - a beautiful lagoon (via Fethiye), which is a must see. There are regular markets in Chalis and neighbouring towns, where local produce and clothes/bags etc are sold; the fresh food is lovely & very reasonably priced. The Turkish people are very friendly and helpful which was an advantage as it was our first holiday to Turkey.
I would not hesitate to recommend this villa and location for a holiday for a wide range of ages and interests.

we were not dissapointed with our choice of villa in calis it is well equipped and clean the pool is very inviting on those hot sunny days, and if you need any help or advice Hakan who lives next door is always happy to help which is very reassuring.It is about a twenty minute walk to the beach where there are plenty of restaurants,bars and shops to choose from and a long promenade to stroll long and watch the beautiful sunsets.There is a market on a sunday where you can have a bit of fun and haggle for a bargain or you can browse among the rows of stalls full of colourful fruit and veg and aromatic herbs and spices not forgetting the turkish delight.If you decide you would like to do something different there are plenty of boat trips and tours on offer, .you can of course take the water taxi to Fethiya which takes about half an hour and is well worth it if you only go and sit on the harbour and have a quiet drink or meal.We loved every minute of our holiday and will not hesitate to return.

We could not fault the villa in any way. It is exceedingly well equipped and a pleasure to stay in. Calis beach isn't a built up area, but has plenty of restaurants and bars. The 15 minute walk to the beach, shops and restaurants is worth it for there are many good bargains and the food is excellent. There are many excursions on offer, we went with Hamish McTurk. We travelled on a '12 island boat trip' where you could relax and enjoy the coastal pleasures of turkey and we also visited 'Dalyan' where we got to use traditional turkish mud baths and visited turtle bech where loggerhead turtles lay their eggs (we didn't see any turtles though as they only come out at night), you also get to see some historical attractions.
The next door neighbour Hakkan is a legend! he was so helpful, giving us lifts to the supermarket and restaurants, arranging day trips for us and checking on taxis and the flight home. We even joined him at a restaurant to watch the euro 2008 games.
We will definately recommend it to all of our friends and family, and would love to go back.
