Wonderful Week at Villa Tymnessos

Dear Sean and Morgan, We would like to thank you for the use of your wonderful villa. Your communications were good making arrangments a lot easier. Many thanks for installing the safe for peace of mind. We took our children Charlie (8 yrs old) and Rebecca (5 yrs old) and they enjoyed the pool very much and the kids TV channels kept them amused for quite a while. The villa was very clean and spacious and the welcome pack was much appreciated, especially the two cans of Efes beer! My wife and I enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere each evening on the terrace watching the sunset once the children were put to bed. The walk to Kalkan takes around 15 mins going down and 20 mins coming back up. Not too strenuous. Generally we walked down and got a taxi back at a cost of between 7 and 10 TL. We had a few meals at Mustafa's "Cafe Vita" 5 mins walk from the villa. The menu and prices are good and they make the "Best Chips in the World". Mustafa was very helpful especially when we hired a car for 8 days. In Kalkan we had excellent food and service in the Aubergine, Ali Baba, Jasmine and Doy Doy restaurants. Doy Doy was our favourite, great view of the harbour, reasonably priced, excellent food and free wrist bracelets when leaving. Aubergine restaurant was the most expensive. I lost my passport in Kalkan and I went to the local council offices who made an announcement over the town tannoy system immediately. I then went to the Jandarma who told me it had been handed in. Thank you to the anonymous Good Samaritan. We hired a car and visited Saklikent Gorge, Patara beach, Kekova and Kas. Although we had great days out it was always a pleasure to return to the villa for a dip in the pool and to relax on the sunbeds or on the roof terrace. A new general store has just opened next to Cafe Vita. A good place to get provisions in. The villa kitchen was well stocked with equipment and we enjoyed many good meals. Although the villa looks down on a number of surrounding villas, we could not believe how quiet it was. Each day the garden was watered and the pool cleaned . Hamza from Kalkan Property Services arranged our transfer from and to Dalaman Airport which went without a hitch. The only criticism we have is the fact that the villa has no telephone so any guests would have to rely on mobile phones. We would have no problem recommending the villa to our friends and hopefully will return for future holidays. Kind regards, Derek, Clair, Charlie and Rebecca

We recently spent 2 weeks in Paradise at Villa Tymnessos! What a lovely home! There were 7 of us, including a baby. We all had wonderful accommodations, with plenty of personal space. We all awoke to breathtaking views every day and enjoyed wonderful breezes while we had our morning coffees on our balconies. The blue mist over the Med in the morning is just amazing. The private pool and the lush flowers and shrubs create a most tranquil space. The villa was just a short drive or walk down to the village. Such friendly merchants and great shops. We thoroughly enjoyed Kalkan's many restaurants, with their wonderful views of the harbor and Kalkan Bay. Such a relaxing atmosphere. We really felt like we were on vacation, no hurrying or scurrying, and did not want to go home.
We hope to be return every year. We thought that living in the southern US was relaxing, until we discovered Villa Tymnessos and Kalkan!

My husband and I stayed at Villa Tymnessos for seven nights in early April and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The villa was lovely with spectacular views of Kalamar Bay. It was very well maintained and had all the comforts of home. Unfortunately the weather was a bit cold so we didn't try out the swimming pool but it did look inviting! We enjoyed meandering through the streets of Kalkan and had several good meals at local restaurants including Cafe Vita, Jasmine Cafe, and Ali Baba. We rented a car for two days and had a great time exploring the surrounding countryside. Highlights included Patara Beach and the nearby ruins, Fethiye and its Tuesday market, Kas and the nearby Antiphellos, and Saklikent Gorge.
We highly recommend Villa Tymnessos and this beautiful area of Turkey.

Dear Sean and Morgan,

We had a fantastic time and really loved your villa. We thought the villa was in a wonderful position and beautifully fitted out. You had thought of everything!

Although Kalkan has changed a lot in terms of the building we found the people as friendly as ever.

Hamza was a star. Nothing was too much trouble and he pointed us in the right direction for trips, etc. We loved the Café Vita too!

Thank you for letting us borrow Villa Tymnessos, it was a great holiday and we would love to return one day.

Villa Tymnessos is the perfect base for a quiet, relaxing holiday. It is beautifully and comfortably furnished and every balcony has a stunning view.

The kitchen is well equipped so that cooking is simple. The adjoining balcony meant that we could enjoy dinner and watch the sun setting.

Tymnessos is a relatively easy (there are short but steep uphill stretches) walk from Kalkan, a friendly, buzzing centre with excellent restaurants.

Thoroughly recommended....

We had a fantastic time at Villa Tymnessos. With two young children and three other friends who stayed with us it was the perfect place to have a relaxing holiday. Great views, the beach clubs are great and the locals are really friendly. We would recommend a hire car as the surronding area is quite steep, however cars can be got in town and are cheap. If you need help with anything, including a hire car or even just a good feed Mustafa at Cafe Vita is your man. Book it and you wont regret it
