Having stayed at Mina on several occasions now (another week already booked for next September) I really thought I should write a review of this much loved apartment. Funnily enough I stayed here when it was the Mina Hotel (Tapestry) and when I realised it had been converted into apartments I was delighted. There are many good things to write about Mina but the top few are firstly, being a penthouse apartment it has the best view of the bay, including Mouse and Snake islands. Secondly, unlike many properties in Kalkan it is an easy walk to the old town, about 5-10 minutes, the slight incline on the way home really isn’t a problem and thirdly, it is the best ever equipped apartment I have ever stayed in. Just like being at home.
If you are just a couple or a family it is a great space to enjoy your holiday. It’s very spacious.
Kalkan is also a lovely place. There is a small beach but if you prefer a swimming pool , Mina shares two with the other apartments. I have always found there to be plenty of sunbeds available.
Restaurants in Kalkan are plentiful. Like one for nearly every day of the year I should imagine! They range from really quite expensive to small and cheap and where you see the locals eating, always a good sign.
And however much I bang on about how fantastic this apartment is , is does have some setbacks. Eh, I can’t actually think of any at the moment. Roll on September 2015 is all I can say.
