The Melissa is a luxury 3 bedroom penthouse apartment with two balconies and private wrap-around roof terrace that boasts stunning views of Kalkan the harbour and beyond.

The local supermarket is a very convenient 100 yards away.

Outside there are 2 pools plus a children’s pool, with sun loungers and umbrellas for the exclusive use of the apartment guests.

We had the most brilliant stay with our two kids - 9 and 12. It’s a fairly easy walk in and out of town but the apartment is also perfect for staying and cooking in.
All the neighbours were lovely too. Looking at rebooking soon.
The apartment has everything we could need / want from a holiday. The kitchen is brand new and if we wanted to cook there was plenty of utensils etc. we made use making simple lunches but preferred to eat out at the array of fantastic restaurants that Kalkan has to offer. The apartment itself is beautifully presented offering the most gorgeous views of Kalkan / the bay. The layout worked perfect for us. The pictures don’t do it justice. We found the pool area pretty, clean and spacious. Never busy and was kept immaculate.
As a family with 3 older teens this apartment provided us with space. The wrap around balcony on top floor is a great place to relax at the end of the evening. It has lots of different seating areas which was great for us with older girls who wanted their own area to chill.
The location for us worked well and was close to supermarket, bakery, greengrocer. It was an easy walk into town (even with the intense heat of 40 degreees) we even walked back at the end of the evening. Having usually stayed Kalamar end of town it was a nice change for us not to jump in taxis. The girls enjoyed going off to the lime bar / restaurant for pancakes most days.
We had a minor issue on arrival as our room was not ready but this was quickly resolved.
I would recommend this accommodation and will definitely stay here again. Thank you
The apartment is beautiful and the staff great. I did not get the impression from the staff or guests that they were used to kids around. Its a lovely apartment and no complaints but i think suited to older families / couples etc rather than young kids.
Melissa is a perfect apartment in Kalkan. The Penthouse terrace gave us a the most wonderful views of Kalkan but also privacy and our own area for evening drinks and games on the terrace as the sun disappeared over the mountains. Our teenage daughter had her own balcony where she could sit with her brother for some get-away time, and the layout of the apartment was ideal with so many opportunities to see the sea and Kalkan from all the front windows and doors. Great walk into town and easy to get back to the flat without need for a taxi. The manager was very helpful and the apartment block was quiet and the other guests respectful and friendly. The place was perfect for our teenagers who were near enough to town to have their independence. I would highly recommend this perfect penthouse for a stay in Kalkan. It would suit 2 or 3 couples or a family with older children. It would also suit friends sharing as the rooms are spacious and there are 2 good bathrooms and great conveniences (lots of clothes hangers, hairdryers, bins emptied daily etc). We loved our time there. If I were to return to Kalkan I would stay at Melissa again. Thanks to the fantastic hosts!

About the host
Hosted by Jayne
We are married couple from Hertfordshire with two children. We first came across Kalkan in 2005 and fell in love with the place. Named after our daughter Melissa (a Turkish name conveniently), our beautiful apartment is the perfect bolt-hole to escape to from our busy full-time jobs at home.
Why they chose this property
One look at the views from our apartment and we were sold, to say they are magnificent is an understatement. The location is also fantastic; it's close enough to the town to walk everywhere, with no need for a car or taxis. We also love relaxing around the pool!
What makes this property unique
Kalkan itself is a gem, mostly down to it's well deserved reputation for outstanding restaurants and friendly people. With a small beach, boat trips from the harbour and numerous beach clubs dotted around the bay, there's always somewhere to go and relax, and if you can drag yourself away from the town itself, there are numerous places to visit.
