Kalkan in winter
Great location, cold, damp not particularly equipped for a winter stay… dryer which we really could have used was a rusty metal clothes rack. One extra blanket in the whole place… during a storm rain poured in through various closed windows

Great House
Het was een geweldig fijn huis, ruim, goed ingericht. Lekker zwembad. De bedden waren erg lekker. Er was airconditioning maar die hoefden we niet te gebruiken want met het raam open koelde het fijn af. We hebben het erg prettig gehad in een heel fijn dorp

Lovely home
We very much enjoyed Alarahan - the pool was exceptionally clean, and the bathrooms really nicely designed. A perfect location for us and the nicest place we’ve stayed since we started visiting Kalkan over 12 years ago.

Great villa close to everything
This was our second trip to Kalkan and we wanted to stay closer to town this time, so Villa Alarahan fitted the bill nicely as it was within 100m of restaurants and supermarkets, so no car, taxi, or long walk required to go anywhere. The villa is on a quiet side street and had everything we needed for a family of 3, 2 week stay. The pool was great as was the rooftop with sea view. Everything we needed was there and we really didn't have to take anything. Booking process was simple and Laura the owner and Sharon the property manager answered any questions we had.

great location in the heart of old town
The property was clean and comfortable. It was fantastic to have a welcome pack of useful things and also good supplies in the cupboards. the water cooler is genius and saved carting heavy water from the supermarket down all those steps! The heated pool was unbelievable especially at night it was amazing. There is not a lot of room round the pool for sunbeds but as it was just 2 of us it wasn't a big deal. plenty of space to enjoy breakfast and lunch by the pool though. An amazing place to stay right in the heart of the town, just 50 (steep) yds and there you are, enjoying dinner in a myriad of gorgeous restaurants. fantastic would recommend.

Ideal Villa location in Kalkan Old Town
Booking very straight forward, our host Laura was so helpful and provided lots of useful information before our stay, and a welcome pack on arrival. The Villa had everything you could need, including towels. Plenty of space for a small family and a fantastic private pool in a lovely setting! Located just a few yards from many popular restaurants and bars.

Villa Alarahan is a lovely villa in the heart of the old town, it is a bit hilly, but not too bad.
Laura has been a fantastic host, she has let me move my dates a few times. Welcome pack was great to get us started. Lovely villa, supermarket just up the hill 5 min. Old town 3 min down hill. Kalkan is beautiful!! I would highly recommend this villa for a small family. The roof terrace is fabulous for sunsets. The pool is big, and heated if it’s a bit chilly at night, we came the last week of October. I would book this villa again. Thank you Laura for everything.

Fabulous location - Owner was beyond helpful!
The location of this Villa is amazing, literally minutes from restaurants, bars shops and harbour. We couldn't believe how quiet it was being so central. The owner couldn't have been more helpful from the minute we booked until the minute we left - answered all emails and messages almost immediately. The Villa has everything you need right down to needles and cotton. Fabulous pool - basically everything you need to escape and relax.

Excellent stay in Villa Alarahan
Villa Alarahan has a very cozy atmosphere and is very central in terms of location. It is enough to walk to meet all your needs such as market, sea, beach club, restaurant. We did not need a car in Kalkan. Laura is a very kind and generous host. She had prepared a welcome package on our arrival. We had all the equipment we needed at home, so we were very comfortable in this respect. The moment we were most unhappy during the holiday was when we left home. Thank you very much again. It was a great experience.

Lovely Villa and Old Town Kalkan
We thoroughly enjoyed our two-week stay at Villa Alarahan. Great size, lovely private pool and only minutes away from the restaurants and shops in the old town. The beds were extremely comfortable and a well-stocked kitchen with all that we needed, towels also provided which was convenient. Highly recommended.

Fantastic stay in superb location
Stayed for 8 days in Villa Alarahan, I have previously stayed in Kalkan on the other side near the beach club, this time I wanted something closer to the centre. This Villa has everything you need for a very comfortable holiday. Beautifully decorated and furnished, the owners have ensured you have everything you need. We loved the pool and the late nights on the roof terrace watching the shooting stars with a glass of red wine. The location couldn't be better a few steps down the slope (everything is up or downhill in Kalkan so don't pack heels!) You will find the owners restaurant 'Old St' the food was excellent, I loved the Turkish tapas as you get a taste of everything, the waiters were lovely attentive and really freindly, we loved the Turkish delight, cologne for your hands an the free amaretto at the end of the meal : ) :) We met Emre the owner at the restaurant he was very welcoming and a genuinely lovely person. To sum up, if you are looking for a villa in Kalkan I would whole heartedly recommend Villa Alarahan we had a fantastic holiday in a fabulous location in a beautiful villa

About the host

Hosted by Laura Sheppard

Host profile image
Laura and Emre met in Kalkan in 2007, married in London in 2011 and purchased the beautiful Villa Alarahan together in 2014. We holiday at the Villa twice a year and even 10 years later we still adore it!

Why they chose this property

We stay regularly in the villa in Kalkan and fell in love with it when we rented it in summer 2014, luckily we were able to purchase it and it is our dream Turkish holiday home that we are thrilled to share with others. We regularly bring family and friends and everyone loves it.

What makes this property unique

We think the central Kalkan location is just perfect and it means we are in the heart of the action, its easy to get into town and back again and we have everything we need for a relaxing holiday right on our doorstep.
