Loved Minerva apartment – we stayed for two weeks and it was a perfect space for my husband, myself and daughter.

Fabulous views, comfortable beds good showers and great air-con. It has a high quality but homely feel.

The pool was lovely, warm, sparkling clean and we were the only ones using it for the two weeks.

The location is great, close enough to walk to the old town and harbour but still tucked away and quiet.

There are also some great cafes and restaurants within a few minutes walk.

The Thursday market is just across the road.

The apartment is well equipped and we had a couple of BBQs as it is such a lovely terrace and view.

Jane and Elsie at Lale were so helpful with any requests – I’d really recommend Minerva and Lale.

As first time visitors to Kalkan, we are now totally in love 🥰.

We arrived after midnight after a very long journey and accessed the property very easily.

We opened the door and literally said ‘wow’. This is a beautiful, authentic yet modern apartment and we opened up the doors to the most stunning starlit sky and the lights of the houses from the mountains down to the sea.

Having a water cooler ready stocked was fantastic.

The apartment has absolutely everything you could need and more. Who knew I would need and use all 3 different sizes of cafetières 😂.

The pool is super and we felt as if it was our own at times as it wasn’t busy at all.

The development has 2 residential tortoises who love to eat leftover salad and veg scraps.

We didn’t go out as much as we thought as one of our party had a terrible head cold for 3 days so the apartment came into its own for meals at ‘home’.

We loved meals out on the balcony and we just wish we were staying longer.

We hope to return to Minerva very soon. 🇹🇷❤️

Our second time staying at Minerva and it didn’t disappoint.

The owners had updated the bedrooms with new beds and spacious wardrobes since our last visit which was a nice surprise.

Very central to supermarkets and restaurants.

Would highly recommend this apartment and hope to return in the future.

This is an attractive apartment set in well-kept grounds. The apartment is well equipped and very comfortable.

There are two good pools at the complex. The location is good, close to the weekly market, supermarkets, bakery and greengrocer.

Although close to the Main Street it is very quiet. It is about a 10 minute walk to the beach/Old Town.

I would definitely stay in the apartment again.

Communication with Lale Homes was good and they arranged the transfers to the airport.

The vehicles and drivers were excellent.

Great place to stay close to everything.

Pool was pretty much your own private pool.

Jane and the team provided great communication regarding check out times and transfer/flight problems

Beautiful and well-appointed apartment in a fabulous spot!

We loved all the individual touches in the apartment and we were even provided with some essentials in the fridge on our arrival, which was very welcome!

The pool was lovely and very well maintained.

Lots of useful information and tips were provided in the information pack.

The size of the apartment was very comfortable for 2 adults and 2 teenagers, and we loved eating and relaxing outside on the balcony area. The location was great – could walk to the town beach in 10 minutes and had a local supermarket, greengrocer, bakery and fishmonger around the corner.

It was close enough to the old town to access easily but just far enough away to be a lovely, quiet spot.

Jane was very responsive and helpful with any enquiries.

We would highly recommend!

Super clean. Central location of Kalkan. Professionally managed property.

It was so kind that having the all basics (milk, bread, extra cleaning products, spices, etc.).

Such a beautiful pool!!

Highly recommend If you plan to stay in Kalkan

Celal – July 23

Just returned after 3 weeks from this lovely, recently refurnished apartment.

Lovely big fridge/freezer, water cooler and of course a Nespresso coffee machine (which sold it for me!!). Also, upgraded shower rooms but perhaps would benefit from the addition of shower caddies.

Very well equipped if wanting to self cater and very close to various supermarkets and the Thursday market.

There are also a good selection of Turkish restaurants very close by.

I first came to Kalkan 5 years ago & stayed in a small hotel since then I have been coming twice a year & staying at Minerva.

The refurbishments that have taken place over the last couple of years have given the apartment up to date facilities in an excellent location within 5 minutes’ walk from the shops the market & the old town.

Yes I’m “ Kalkanized!”

Light, airy, beautifully decked out, with extraordinary views across Kalkan. This apartment is stunning inside and out with majestic views, breakfast on the balcony is a treat not to be missed. Fully equipped kitchen, juicer, coffee machine, microwave et al. You can sit inside or outside in equal comfort. Every room has been thought through and the feeling is spacious, clean lines and the pool area is stunning. The pool is clean and the area to sit in was quiet when I stayed. This is a haven. Kalkan is hilly so be aware if you have issues with walking or disabilities but the town is lovely. Every meal out was wonderful, and I am coeliac and therefore not so easy to feed! The locals are warm and all embracing.

It was the perfect blend of being at ease in your own space, and having so much nearby to step out and shop, eat, drink or relax as all you need is at hand.

I stayed for ten days and it was definitely not enough!!!! Fantastic apartment in a beautiful spot – loved it.
