We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Villa Turquoise. This was our second visit and timed to coincide with special family birthday celebrations. We greatly appreciated the help from Lindsey and Amy in organising the efficient transfers and providing much assistance and local knowledge concerning restaurants and activities.
The villa itself is quite wonderful. It is bright, airy, spotlessly clean and thoughtfully equipped and decorated. We made good use of the Nespresso machine which had been added to the kitchen. Iced coffees by the pool were very popular. The terrace and gardens were looking superb with the vivid bougainvillea, plumbago and hibiscus in full bloom which enhanced the spectacular views of the bay. The roof terrace is great at night for a relaxing drink and, with the clear skies, we enjoyed a little stargazing. The local maintenance team clearly keep the property in good order and were very prompt to respond on one occasion when we needed assistance.
It is very useful to shop for essentials and have the option of restaurants close to the villa. In the evenings, though, we liked the atmosphere in the main centre and harbourside of Kalkan village where there is the general buzz of activity from interesting shops, bars and many excellent restaurants. Taxis are very promptly available if needed, inexpensive, and there were plenty that were able to take six people, which suited our group. During the week, in addition to much poolside enjoyment at the villa, we took a lovely sunset boat cruise with an excellent BBQ. A visit to Saklikent Gorge for river rafting/tubing proved to be an exhilarating experience and great fun.
All in all this was a fun and memorable holiday in a marvellous villa. We hope to be able to return.
