Lupia Suites

Lovely Stay at Lupia Residence, Kalkan, Turkey 18th–25th October | Couple in our late 50s We had a lovely stay at Lupia Residence and would happily recommend it. Location: Great central location, around a 7-minute walk down to the harbour via steep, cobbled streets. Bear in mind that the walk back is just as steep! Taxis are also available from the harbour if you prefer not to tackle the uphill walk. There are small supermarkets nearby, although beer and wine are sold in separate shops, both conveniently close by. Accommodation: Our room was comfortable, clean and tidy, with daily housekeeping and fresh towels. The staff were very friendly, helpful and eager to please, and nothing seemed too much trouble. There was no mini-bar during our visit, but drinks were available from reception if required. Tea and coffee-making facilities were provided in the room. Breakfast and pool: Breakfast was plentiful, with eggs, cheese, fresh fruit, bread, tea and coffee. The pool was lovely and refreshing, particularly after a day out exploring. Exploring Kalkan: There is a great choice of restaurants within walking distance. The restaurant owners are very polite and welcoming, often greeting you as you walk past to encourage you in, but without hassling you if you decide to keep walking. The local minibuses are a cheap and convenient way to reach nearby beaches and towns, although they can get very full! Be prepared to get on quickly when the doors open, as everyone else certainly will. Patara Beach cost €15 per person to enter when we visited, with small charges also applying at some other nearby sandy beaches. Kalkan’s own beach is stony, so beach shoes may come in handy. Boat trip: We spent a fantastic day aboard Sea Bella, costing £35 per person. There were plenty of opportunities for swimming, a lovely meal on board, and a very friendly captain and crew. Definitely worth considering!

A little tip: Mosquitoes were a minor inconvenience, as they seem to be across Kalkan

Homely family run feel

The nightclub noise took some time to get used to but not overwhelming

Lovely hotel within 5 minutes walk of Kalkan town centre with very pretty pool area & spacious rooms.

Nothing.

Location was great, easy to walk to shops and restaurants. It was spotlessly clean.

Nothing.
