Welcome to our Apartment
Ian from Romford (October 2017)
The Dalora apartment is a fantastic location close to the town, but not so close to be disturbed by the night-life of this vibrant and up-and-coming resort. The apartment itself is spacious and very well equipped with everything that you could need for a stay here! The added bonus is UK Sky TV for those that wish to stay in touch with events back home - or simply switch off and enjoy the pool and the town! The pictures really don't do the apartment credit - as the inside is spacious and clean - with great facilities throughout the three bedrooms (two doubles and a twin - all en-suite) with additional bathroom close to the lounge/pool area. A great location for a relaxing break away - and we have already booked for 2018!
Emma from Manchester (May 2018)
Me and my boyfriend stayed at Dalora for a week and had such a great time away. The apartment was perfect, lovely decor, very roomy and equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor space and private pool was perfect for lazy days in sunbathing! The apartment was in such a great area being only a 5 minute walk from Kalkan town with amazing views to see on the way! I will definitely be looking to book Dalora again, I loved Kalkan and staying at this apartment added to a perfect holiday!
Dawn N from Manchester (August 2018)
Amazing property which is just a 5 minute walk into town. It is a bit hilly to walk back but taxis are very cheap. We actually had the same driver for the 2 weeks we were there. He gave us a card with his number and we would just ring him and he would be there. Lots of lovely restaurants. Never had a bad meal. Locals are very friendly. We enjoyed it so much that we have booked to go back again this year.
Donna N from Essex (August 2018)
We discovered Kalkan for the very first time in August 2018 and fell in love with the place. We are returning again this year. Our first experience of Kalkan was made all the better by this stunning accommodation. Dalora Kalkan is everything you could ask for and more from the fantastic views, amazing location to spacious indoor and outdoor living. The property is finished to a very high standard with fixtures and fittings including a fully fitted kitchen and utility room, open plan living area, three spacious double bedrooms all ensuite,separate WC, fully air conditioned (which in the peak season is a must). Outdoor you will find a family sized swimming pool and terrace area with outdoor dining and seating. Cant wait to get back by that pool !

Stayed with 4 friends, loads of space for all of us, beautifully decorated, like being in a 5* hotel yet homely. The owners have put a lot of thought and attention to detail right down to hairdryers in the bedroom, making this a fabulous place to stay. Everything you could need in the kitchen, even shopping bags for that trip to the shops. The pool was big enough for 3 of us on lilo's and enough space left for the others to have a dip or enjoy some relaxation on the sun beds or a snooze on the luxury heavenly comfortable bean beds. Sitting on the terrace outside on the sofa at the end of the pool was the perfect setting for an evening drink together to watch the sun go down or a morning cuppa to watch the boats heading out of the marina. beautiful 36o views of the bay ad mountains behind... perfect. Kalkan centre is 10 minutes walk with all the attraction of sea views, shops, restaurants and no shortage of local hospitality, a very friendly and inviting community. Eating out is great with a good variety of restaurant's to suit any budget, really 1st class place to visit.. highly recommended and thank you.. We will be returning

I can’t compliment this apartment enough! The pictures do it little justice, when we walked in it was just breath taking. The views were amazing and the apartment itself was faultless. The owners have taken great care to make sure that it is home from home, decorated very tastefully with everything you need. This was a family holiday which included two 19 year olds, a 10 year old and a 7 year old and they were all accommodated. The private infinity pool was fab, the outside space was huge with plenty of little places to hide away for a quiet drink or sunbathe!! All of the bedrooms are en suite which came in handy when we were all getting ready for a night out. We found lots of beautiful restaurants in Kalkan which was just a short walk away, even little legs could manage! We took an amazing boat trip and that evening were so shattered decided to order food in! Previous guests have left recommendations in the guest book for rastaurants, taxi drivers, take away’s that was invaluable, and while we tried a lot of them we also added our own little tips!! I have visited different parts of Turkey over the years but it was a first for my husband and he was a little dubious...... but by day 3 he loved it so much we re-booked the same apartment for next year and the children are very very excited!! The owners should be very proud of what they have achieved with this apartment, anyone choosing Dalora will not be disappointed!! Already have a countdown app on my phone for August!! Can’t wait to go back xx

Dalora Villa has been lovingly set up by its owners with no expense spared. we arrived in the early hours and could not believe our luck. The Villa was immaculate and spotlessly clean. All the facilities including kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are spacious and very high end. We were provided a welcome pack and information folder which was a great touch. After a wonderful nights sleep we awoke to see the private infinity pool and views of Kalkan bay in all its sunny glory. The sunbeds are superb in keeping with the rest of the facilities. the outdoor space is huge and ideal for a quiet days lounging around the pool. The villa sits above the town in a nice quiet area and it only takes 5 mins to stroll into town. You can get a taxi back up the hill for a few pounds. Kalkan town is a typical Turkish friendly town with a wonderful choice of bars and restaurants with roof top and beach side dining. The food and drink is very reasonably priced and of good quality. Overall we had a wonderful time and have booked to return to this fabulous Villa. Would recommend highly.

Love, love, love this place. Nicest apartment I’ve ever stayed in, didn’t want to leave. Recommended by a friend and she wasn’t wrong. Loads of space, beautifully furnished, fabulous pool and the bean bags next to it are the finishing touch. Couldn’t get enough of the view, the sofa by the pool is a must for morning cuppa or a nightcap. Dalora and Kalkan didn’t disappoint
MatthewdU2864OA (May 2018)
First time in Kalkan and wont be the last. The apartment was spacious and clean throughout. All facilities are available, lovely big swimming pool, outside eating/drinking area, lovely view, etc. Couldn't fault it really. As for the town - it's beautiful. Loads of top class eating/drinking places, really friendly people who don't hassle you and lovely roof terraces with sea views. Some really great excursions and boat trips. Perfect holiday spot really...

First visit to Dalora and Kalkan, definitely won't be our last! Gorgeous apartment, amazing resort. Booked with friends for anniversary treat and what a treat it was. Beautiful apartment, plenty of room for 6 adults. Pool to die for, as were the views. Comfy, spacious inside and out and every little detail thought of. Kalkan is small, quaint, picturesque and incredibly friendly .......can't wait to go back.
FrequentFlier391422 (July 2018)
We had a fantastic holiday staying in Dalora, it really is a beautiful apartment. It has everything you need, it is spotless and very modern. We had lots of room for the whole family. It is set in a beautiful location, with just a short walk to the town where there are lots of lovely family friendly restaurants. We loved using the infinity pool, it was amazing. The whole booking procedure was easy and the owner was very approachable, friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend a stay in this apartment and hope to return soon!

We have visited Kalkan many times and always stayed in self catering accommodation. Dalora is very possibly the best equipped and fitted out we have stayed in. It even had a full British tv package which was a godsend at night when you have 2 young children with you. The owners are fantastic to deal with, and their communications are first class. The pool area is large and well kept with food quality, comfortable sun beds. The apt. manager is very helpful and easy to contact. Plenty of helpful local information is available in the apt. Anyone booking Dalora will not be disappointed with the apt. or the outside area, just book quickly as it is a, quite rightly, popular holiday apt.
Barbara O (May 2019)
Fab apartment fab pool amenities brilliant, unexpected but very appreciated welcome pack which was a godsend for very late arrival! Welcome visit much appreciated for lots of information on apt and resort especially as not been before, info given incase of problems or just advice, able to book trips hire car etc. Fantastic information book helped us loads as well as previous guest recommendations. On the whole wgat a beautiful apt and wonderful new find for our forthcoming holidays. Rebooking when I've finished this review!

Six of us, (three couples) stayed for a week in June and had a fantastic time. The weather was fab and we couldn’t find fault with the apartment as it had everything you needed; all bedrooms are en-suite and all fixtures and fittings were of high quality. The water cooler was a lovely touch and even a washing machine! Kalkan is a lovely place with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. We are already looking forward to going back next year.
kathy-Wisbech (June 2019)
Stayed here as part of 3 couples, loads of space inside and out for us all. The appartment has all you need including plug adapters and a water cooler which was very much needed in the heat. The appartment is very clean and well cared for. The Dalora team are on hand if any problems occur which very reassuring. The area is nice with loads to do and lots of great restaurants with lovely food and entertainment.
jamcia (August 2019)
What can I say - fabulous comfortable villa, beautifully decorated with everything you will need for a home from home stay. Lovely pool with plenty of comfortable seating to enjoy a glass of wine as the sun goes down . Only a very easy 10 mins walk into town, where the beauty of Kalkan awaits. Great hosts who will answer all your questions and arrange transfers etc if required. Great information file full of really useful information to assist in making your holiday complete. Book you definitely won’t be disappointed 😊
Charlotte (September 2019)
Been coming to Kalkan for 7 years now and this was my favourite stay! The villa is beautiful and in a perfect location. Close enough to town that taxis are very cheap / able to walk down but also not too close so you can hear everything at night! Favourite location and villa by far and would highly recommend! The owner is so helpful and welcoming!
Love travel [September 2019]
Had a fantastic time in Dalora and it made my stay in Kalkan so much more enjoyable - the apartment is really spacious and has everything you need, it’s also finished really well so it feels like a hotel but at the same time the furnishings make it cosy. The pool is lovely and the views from the garden are fabulous. Kalkan itself is also a great town with loads of different options for great quality food at a good price, it feels more like you’re in Greece or Italy than Turkey with the cobbled streets and nice buildings. We’ll definitely be coming back.
Dazaly Bristol [Setember 2019]
Found this Duplex on various sites but dealt with the Dalora team direct. They made the whole process stress free and answered any queries quickly and accurately, great communication! Transfer from the Airport arranged through Dalora team and all very prompt and efficient. It was our 4th visit to Kalkan and the best accommodation we have found for the price so far. All rooms well appointed with large Beds, plenty of storage and large walk in showers. Kitchen fully equipped and suitable for light lunches up to a full cooked meal. Outside area fantastic with plenty of sun bed and seating space surrounding a well proportioned clean Pool with a Sea view towards the Bay, albeit slightly obscured by Olive trees. Set just above the Main road, which didn’t bother us, it was a casual 15 minutes stroll down to the Harbour, but steep hills and uneven pavements could be an issue for those less mobile. Local Shops and Bars available closer at hand with the main Supermarkets around 5 minutes walk, (everything you need from fresh local Veg to Branded Spirits, but recommend getting a Taxi back up to the Duplex which cost about £3! Kalkan is the perfect little Seaside resort for a relaxing break in the sun with an endless choice of quality Restaurants for dining, Beach clubs for lazing and stunning views to enjoy. We will be back again next year, unfortunately not at Dalora as already booked so will find another little gem to stay at!
Therese Essex [October 2019]
I was in need of rest and relaxation and I found a space that delivered at Dalora Kalkan. From the moment we booked the villa with ease to departing the airport nothing was too much trouble. Our transfers were arranged for us and I was delighted with the driver’s professionalism and caring helpful approach. The Villa is exactly as advertised. The video is a true reflection of what welcomed us. I was blown away. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated with a kitchen that had everything you could possibly need for your stay. Beds were comfortable. Great quality patio furnishings and an amazing pool looking across Kalkan bay. It’s not far to walk into town but but there was so much information to explain how to utilise local suppliers and taxis. As a disabled person this was so helpful. Kalkan is an incredible destination and I would like to return. Everyone was so friendly I didn’t want to leave. So I would suggest booking Dalora with confidence that you will have a fabulous holiday.
StevenMark London [October 2019]
Beautiful villa situated above the vibrant Kalkan area with tonnes of restaurants and bars just a 5/10 minute walk away. The villa itself has all of the modern amenities you could want with a clean finish making it feel just like a home away from home. Lovely outdoor space, broken down into 3 sections with a simple change in level between each part. The pool is crystal clear and cool for a refreshing swim, or if soaking up the sun is your idea of relaxation then the sun loungers and beanbags are ideal for this. The view from the garden is stunning in the mornings and the evenings alike, with the sun shimmering off the bright blue sea during the day and the lights of the restaurants and bars illuminating the main walkways of Kalkan during the evenings. The bedrooms are light and spacious with more than adequate storage for your belongings; then add the en suite facilities and balconies to these brilliant living spaces and you’ll find yourself almost never wanting to leave your room! The kitchen area is well equipped with all you could need to provide for yourself during your time away, if you don’t fancy heading out to one of the amazing eateries located nearby (or if you don’t fancy ordering food in, which we did and were very impressed with). All in all, Dalora is an amazing stay, regardless of whatever your plans are for your time in Kalkan and you’ll find yourself in a hurry to book there again before next years dates are taken!
Ian W Essex [October 2019]
This was our third year at Dalora, and we wanted to share the luxury and ideal location with our family. We selected the later period of the year to be able to enjoy the town for its quiet streets and fantastic restaurants with superb steaks and grills. Every bar in Kalkan has speciality drinks that you enjoy after lazing around your own superb pool at Dalora. The apartment has everything you need - including washing machine - so don’t over-pack (I always do! - and end up having to carry it all!). 😁👍👌
Susan Rebecca London [October 2019]
Dalora is such a beautiful villa. Perfectly positioned slightly uphill, the views from the garden area are spectacular, particularly as the sun is setting! The pool is just perfect for keeping cool in the heat and doing a few lengths! The outside dining area is lovely too, perfect for a BBQ and night in, or getting a takeaway in for a lazy, relaxed evening. The kitchen is well equipped for any cooking you'd like to do, whether it’s a fry up or some simple pasta for dinner, and the living room area is lovely and spacious, yet cosy, perfect for curling up if the evenings are a little chilly late in the season. The bedrooms are beautifully finished too, all with large ensuites, giving you plenty of space to relax and get ready to head out on a day trip, or into town for the evening. After just a short walk into town, the nightlife is great, so many lovely restaurants, all serving beautiful food, (steaks seem to be a speciality!) and plenty of bars with such friendly staff serving lovely cocktails! All in all, a fantastic holiday location, well worth booking for your next family or group holiday!!!

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish , Angela was so helpful with everything and the villa was awesome , everything in it that you need for your holiday , we all had a truly amazing time , thank you Angela x
DanFraidSo Manchester [September 2020]
6 of us had the pleasure of staying at Dalora in September. The property was absolutely immaculate. The facilities meant that you really didn’t need to leave the apartment, which was a massive bonus during the pandemic. The pool and outside terraces are stunning, as are all the indoor bedrooms and living areas. It’s finished to a very high standard, complete with all the appliances and essentials you could need- plenty of crockery, utensils, glasses etc which seems like a small thing- but it’s often overlooked in many rentals. The fact that every bedroom has its own en suite bathroom is also a great bonus. Beautiful views, and Kalkan itself is a lovely Town, especially in the “Old Town” area. We can’t wait to go back, and have already booked our return visit. Thanks Dalora!
Frankie London [May 2022]
We had a great time and the apartment was excellent. It had everything we could wish for.
Sara Kent [June 2022]
We had a wonderful stay at Dalora apartment, it was so comfortable and very well equipped! The pool and outside area/garden were beautiful and very well looked after. We will be back !
Nick V [June/July 2022]
Fantastic holiday at Dalora Apartment, the space of a villa for the price of a apartment. Cannot fault this accommodation, Turkish management team and the owners. 5*****
Will definitely be booking again and have no problem recommending Dalora Apartment to others.
Nick & Jackie, June / July 2022.
Rachel B [August 2022]
We stayed at the Dalora apartment for 10 nights in August 2022 and had the most wonderful time. We normally stay in villas and could not believe the size of the apartment which could rival a few of the villas we have stayed in for a fraction of the cost. Having stayed in Kalkan numerous times we just love the lower kisiltas area as you can easily stroll into town starting at the top and working your way down to the harbour and then taxi back up once your bellies are full.
Everywhere was spotless and we had everything that we needed. Owners of the apartment are easily available for any questions and needs and booking was really easy and safe. The Dalora is an accommodation that we will definitely return to in the future and would highly recommend to anyone.
Thank you so much Barbara and Angela for sharing your home from home with us you definitely have a gem of a place.
Melanie D [August 2022]
An absolutely amazing holiday from start to finish! Communication before our holiday was effortless, nothing was too much trouble! The villa is beautiful and every comfort has been catered for. The views are breathtaking even when taking a cool drink n the infinity pool. Thank you so much for a lovely holiday.
Jason & Beverly (October 2022)
we have stayed in many villas over the years and this is one of the best we have stayed in and was very well equipped. So pleased we found Dalora, a wonderful villa in a great location. The villa has everything you need and you are in for a very relaxing time with stunning views from your sunbed - we will definitely return.
Cath & Denis (June 2023)
We had the best experience the villa is in a wonderful location and so well looked after we would recommend it to anyone who needs privacy but so near the village of Kalkan thanks to Barbara and the team xxx
Joanne L (July 2023)
We’ve just enjoyed a 10 night stay at Dalora Apartment. Communication prior to arrival with Angela was excellent. The apartment is beautifully decorated and clean as was the outdoor space. Kalkan itself is lovely and quaint with some superb restaurants and bars. Only a 10/15 minute walk to the old town and only circa £2.50 for a return taxi. A wonderful stay and we’ll definitely be back.
Maisie (July 2023)
One of the nicest places I have stayed in Kalkan and I have been going for five years. The apartment is really modern and so clean when you arrive. They even offer a welcome pack which was lovely as we haven’t received this with any other villas before. The air con was so good that my family who were also staying in Kalkan at the time were jealous as their villa was so hot. It has everything you need, even ice coolers that don’t melt in your wine which is a bonus! Definitely going to book again and would highly recommend to anyone who wants a beautiful view of Kalkan and to stay in one of the top places. Thank you Dalora!
Jbandhan (July 2023)
Dalora did not disappoint. A beautiful villa with stunning views and everything you need for a perfect holiday. The villa is clean and everything thought about to make the stay perfect. Kalkan is a beautiful place and we have already booked to go back next year. Can highly recommend and the kids loved it as much as we did.
Derek S (August 2023)
Brilliant location, great apartment. We had a great time.
Susan M (October 2023)
We had a perfect holiday from being picked up at the airport to our return transfer. Dalora is a beautiful apartment with plenty of space. It was spotless and furnished to a very high standard. The beds are very comfortable. The pool and outside furniture is luxurious and the view is to die for. The welcome pack is plentiful to last a few days and we had groceries including wine, beer and soft drinks delivered when needed from Ekomini market, which was an excellent service.
The Dalora team (Angela, Barbara and co) are very helpful and answered any queries very quickly.
I have no hesitation in recommending Dalora to anyone and will definitely book again.
Thank you for the best holiday we’ve had in years xx
Jean, Simon, Geoff & Cas (April 2024)
Amazing Villa, pool and view!
Great location, lovely spacious villa with all the amenities. Pool lovely, Aircon brilliant, beds so comfortable. People very friendly, fabulous restaurants. Everything for a great holiday.
Angela and Alan always so helpful on our trip.
Would like to return some day. Spending holiday with great friends made it special.
Angela (May 2025)
We really enjoyed our stay at Dalora, we found it to be clean, comfortable, with everything in working order, we really liked the peaceful surroundings, and all the recommendations either in town, or closer, such as the pizza place Tesora (we visited and sat in and got a takeaway another night) and the kebab place aciktim, all staff in both restaurants were so nice and friendly, food was excellent. We loved the new coffee and pastry place just below and visited here most morning for takeaway pastry's. The used the supermarket at the the bottom of the hill as we found this one to be better, but the close by butchers and greengrocers was also impressive. We all slept very well at night, the beds were comfortable. We had regular visits from Dalora the cat, who we all grew to be fond of, so cute and friendly/lovely.
Angela was my main point of contact and she went above and beyond to be helpful and was just so lovely with it and down to earth right from the beginning, nothing seemed too much trouble to ask. We all felt safe and it was a great space to relax throughout the day and at night too, the TV/games/books was added bonus. What else can I say, we have nothing for positive things to say about Dalora villa/apartment. We all agreed that we would be back, it was a delight to sit outside in such beautiful surroundings, your gardens really give it that added special touch and pool area. Then at night to sit in the living room was also very comfortable. We know Kalkan as visited on a couple of occasions around 10 years and more ago, but it still never disappoints, if not gets better, we could of easily stayed another month haha, and that is not like us, normally we are ready to come home, however with so much to explore, the boat trips and (mainly the restaurants to keep trying) and your amazing Dalora to stay in, we will most certainly be back. My ten year old son Frankie-John did not stop smiling every single day, he too, loved Dalora the apartment and Dalora the cat, the pool, his comfy bed etc etc, he was well impressed he got his own bathroom, all in all FABULOUS EXPERIENCE, big Thanks to you, the Dalora team, we could feel the heart and many of a good time spent there, by your family's. Thankyou for letting us have a small part in this experience.
