If you're reading this, it has to be because you're thinking about going to Turkey and looking for somewhere to stay so, just to save you some time, let me say that you really don't have to look any further. Alexandra Dream has got to be THE best apartment in Kalkan (and probably it's surrounding areas)
The first thing you notice when you enter the apartment is the quality of the whole place and the excellent "taste" of the interior design. That having been said, there's also the "home from home" aspect of it with the thoughtful little add ons that are available. No ladies, you don't have to haul your hair straighteners halfway across the world to maintain your immaculate coiffure - they're already there - as is the hair dryer, ironing board and most other things we only miss when we've left them behind.
The furnishings are not only "classy" but are actually comfortable as well - a good nights sleep (if required) is guaranteed
Then we come to the views - and WHAT views!!! Kalkan seems to have a dual personality. By day, the blue sea glistening in the sunshine - hard to tell where blue sea ends and blue sky begins and by night, the twinkling of lights from its many excellent roof terrace restaurants and quirky little shops. The town itself is a hive of activity which stretches on into the night but it's self contained - no town noise shatters the tranquility of Alexandra Dream and so relaxing on the roof terrace with a glass of your favourite tipple whilst concemplating on where to go tomorrow - so much to do, so little time - is easy. Yes, there's the chanting from the nearby mosque but with the red sunset (and the red wine) even that becomes such a spiritual experience!!
If you don't want "relaxing" then, hey, no problem - take yourself off paragliding -no you don't jump off a cliff- or try the kayaks or even a bit of jet skiing - whatever you want, Kalkan and Alexandra Dream offers it.
So, like I said, don't waste time trolling through the internet, you've hit the jackpot here and anyway, you'll need to book as soon as you can because believe me, anyone who's been here once will truly want to return and with only so many weeks in a year and so many wanting to return, get to the front of the queue as soon as you can to avoid disappointment!!
The apartment, the views, the town, the people -all in all, perfection personified.
Owner's Response: Well reviews don't come better than that! I have just come back from three weeks in Kalkan and left the apartment in tip top condition for the beginning of next season. It's all ready and waiting for you, so book now!
