Villa Tmnessos - September 2008
Review Submitted: October 18, 2008
Date of Stay: September 2008
This was the ideal holiday for us. We like a private villa with a pool with a good degree of privacy in a peaceful location, but a short walk away from a bit of life and some good eating places in the evening. We went away for two lazy weeks with just the odd sight seeing trip planned, but ended up lazing around the pool for two weeks with walks into town every day and visits to the local market, a very relaxing holiday.
There are some very good quality restaurants in Kalkan at reasonable prices, we can especially recommend 'Coast' and 'Doi Doi' but watch out for the flaming steak at Coast, it would never be allowed in England under current health and safety regulations. Under no circumstances eat at ‘The Brother of Omar Sharif’s Place’ – he isn’t the brother of Omar Sharif, he can’t cook and it’s a ten minute walk of rough ground to the toilets!
The description of the villa was very accurate, there are no end of balconies and patios on which to sit and/or sunbathe, and inside the furnishings are of a very high standard for holiday accommodation.
The walk into Kalkan is basically down hill but you have to go up some hills to go down others, if you are not fit when you go you will be when you get back, but there are of course taxis which are quite cheap, although we always chose to walk in and out of town.
We found the people of Kalkan very friendly, they will always leave you with a smile and friendly word even you turn down the opportunity of eating at their restaurant, when we told one bar owner that we liked the music he made a copy and gave it to us.
All in all a most enjoyable holiday
