We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Ohana. The communication with Anna prior to our holiday and during our stay was excellent. The villa itself was very clean and spacious for 2 families with teenagers and had a very well equipped kitchen. The welcome pack was a lovely touch too!
The pool was spotless and there are several different seating areas around the villa for quiet time away from the group for a cheeky nap, all framed by the beautifully placed plants and flowers. The roof terrace is glorious for a G&T at the end of the day before dinner with stunning views.
Kalkan and the surrounding area is beautiful with plenty of things to do, although seriously hilly!! we recommend the following:
1. Things to do:
- [ ] Kalkan Beach Club - fun in the sea, bed hire reasonable but food is disappointing and on the expensive side.
- [ ] Potara Beach - (you need a car) lovely beach but the sand was crazy hot so if you have very small children it might be hard work!
- [ ] Roman ruins - an interesting visit
- [ ] Boat trip with ‘Neptune’ - we did this on our second last to day and thoroughly recommend treating yourselves to this - a beautiful day at sea with lunch and afternoon tea, with several stops to swim, snorkel and have a mud bath! Even the captain’s dog Zoe came for Swim! Cream up though - we caught a lot of sun!
- [ ] Saklikan Gorge - again a drive away and definitely take water shoes!
2. Eating out
- [ ] House, nearby is excellent, so welcoming and friendly and the food is excellent!
- [ ] There are many restaurants in old town, we visited the following :
- Salt & Pepper
- Trio
- Sunset restaurant - the homemade lemonade with Bacardi was lovely!
After visiting the Gorge we ate at The Degirmen Restaurant (Trout Farm) which has beautiful views and fantastic food that is very reasonably priced.
We also had a great evening at the Kalkan Regency Hotel, on a Wednesday evening they have a BBQ and Turkish dancing - the food was incredible - a great opportunity to sample lots of different Turkish dishes buffet style.
A lovely place to visit - I would definitely return!
