Kalkan is a long-standing favourite with mixed groups and families with older children, drawn by the exceptionally high quality, fully en-suite villas plus just enough activity to keep everyone happy for a week or two. What makes our Eden Collection villas especially covetable is their proximity to all that makes Kalkan so appealing, from beach clubs and harbour cafes to the shops and roof-top restaurants of the attractive Old Town. With all of this within walking distance of Villa Minos, your entire party can come and go as and when they please, a big step on the path to family holiday harmony!
Villa Minos is stylish and impeccably finished, consistent with the high standards required by owner Jimmy Aaladag, who is responsible for several of Kalkan’s most desirable properties. The villa boasts a 12-metre-long swimming pool with a built-in Jacuzzi, and a terrace with plenty of room to lie in the sun or dine in the shade. We love the clever new pergola, with electric shutters that can be lowered to ensure privacy without obstructing your sea view. Interiors are equally spacious and appealing, flooded with sunlight through vast expanses of glass. And if the sun gets too much, you can always escape to the games room and challenge the kids to a game of ping pong, pool or table football.
As evening falls, it’s time for drinks on the terrace as the lights in the town begin to twinkle temptingly below. It’s an easy stroll into town for a taste of the Mediterranean fusion dishes that make eating out here such a treat, or if you prefer something even closer at hand, the Korsan Suites and Kalkan Regency Hotel restaurants are perennially popular with Simpson Travel guests.
Private airport transfers to your villa are included for an effortless start to the holiday. For those wanting to explore beyond, we're happy to arrange a hire car or advise on local excursions, allowing you to experience the area's impressive beaches, Lycian treasures and timeless mountain landscapes.

Our villa was excellent and exceeded expectations. It worked so well for our entire family and children ranging in ages and our grandson who is 5 months. The support from Kitty our concierge was fantastic and all the arrangements for the boat trip, Hamam spa and a trip to the mountains was well organised and timed to perfection! I wouldn’t hesitate in returning and have recommended this Kalkan villa several times since returning.
Villa Minos was superb - location in Kalkan was perfect - easy walking distance to supermarket & restaurants. Pool & outdoor area were outstanding - to be able to swim from sunrise to sunset with the view over the bay - no one could tire of this. A wonderful holiday with older children who could head into town. Games room was a hit too. Thank you so much - we chose Minos on the recommendation of the Simpsons Advisor.
We recently stayed at Villa Minos Kalkan which is a new villa. Very spacious and of a very high standard with plenty of bedroom, living and outdoor space. We loved the fabulous views over the bay. The pool was a great size and long enough to swim laps. The villa is a 5 minute walk from the supermarket and 15 minute walk into town so everyone could be independent. So we didn't need a car and used an airport transfers and cabs for a few longer trips. The games room was great fun and we loved the Hamam and Gulet day trip which were all included. Kitty the concierge and Jimmy the owner were friendly and very helpful. Plenty to do in Kalkan with plenty of choice for bars and restaurants. Overall a great stay and highly recommended. Great service from the Simpson Team.
Villa Minos was stunning - Kitty the Simpson local rep and Jimmy the owner were friendly professional and efficient - 3 of us used the Hamman we were offered and enjoyed it and we all went on the Regency boat The Poseidon which was a lovely day out - I would recommend both Simpson Travel and Villa Minos
It has been a privilege to be the first guests to stay in Villa Minos. A stunning villa with amazing views! Jimmy & his team have been nothing but accomodating, helping with organising a private chef one evening (highly recommended) to addressing any minor issues we have encountered. Kitty has been attentive with knowing we had all the information we could possibly need for arrival, our stay & departure. A huge thank you to all who have made our holiday so very relaxing and enjoyable.
We were the first guests at the villa Minos and were simply blown away by the villa and the gorgeous views of Kalkan and the sea below. A special mention has to go to Kitty, who made the week in Kalkan feel that little bit special. Truly super service from the Simpson team which has us wanting to go back again and again.
Our choice of Turkey properties is diverse, ranging from simple charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal.
To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
Lapped by translucent blue water, Kalkan sits on Turkey’s stunning Turquoise Coast: a cosmopolitan, vibrant resort perfect for exploring the timeless beauty of ancient Lycia's pine-clad shores. The pretty town centre is a treasure trove of narrow streets, whitewashed Ottoman Greek houses and inviting boutiques. It's also famous for its harbourside lounge bars and rooftop restaurants. Carved into the hillsides hovering just above the shore, Kalkan's beach clubs are a unique way to make the most of this spectacular coast, popular with all ages and a huge hit if you're on holiday with teenagers; stay in one of our villas and enjoy complimentary access to the Indigo Beach Club.
Our guests return to Kalkan year after year. To find out why, visit our collection of luxury villas and hotels – and, if you book your Kalkan holiday with Simpson Travel, we'll also include a complimentary hamam experience and a day trip along the Turquoise Coast in a traditional wooden gület.
