The definition of hassle-free travel from start to finish. The alternative flights Simpson sourced, the luxurious transfer from Dalaman airport, the stunning villa, car hire, complimentary boat trip and traditional hamam experience was a different level of service. Can’t fault anything.

Mrs Julie McKinlay September 2025

Loved the whole experience from limo pickup to villa transfer, the villa itself with amazing views. The only area I would suggest to work on would be the pool area. Pool amazing but I thought there was too much furniture out there, we were only 2 and access to the beds was tricky around the parasols. Secondly after 3pm there was no shade from the sun at all. It may just have been the time of year and the height of the sun but extra protection would have been welcome Lauren was great at sorting out a couple of things for us

Mr Martin Maynard September 2025

I have been a repeat customer of Simpson Travel for quite a few years now and I have always found them nothing but perfect in every way, they have never faulted on their service and I have indeed got to know some of the girls and guys in the background when I have questions about the holiday that I’m booking Nothing is too much trouble. I went to Turkey this year in a beautiful villa called Tepe Ev , I went out a week before my daughters who then joined me and everything was taken care of, transfers, flights, every detail and it went without a hitch. We have stayed in this villa before near Kalkan and it’s truly amazing but when you have people there that look after you and make sure you’re okay and have a seamless booking, I don’t think it’s a customer we could ask for much more than the service received from Simpson Travel

Ms Sarah Melbourn July 2025

This was our first holiday with Simpson Travel. From the booking stage through to the end of our holiday everything was perfect. They excel at everything and offer many extras that the other travel agents do not. We had a fabulous holiday in a wonderful villa and nothing was too much for Simpsons Travel. We will be booking again for next year for sure. Thank you simpsons Travel.

Mrs Debra Holdsworth May 2025

Our stay in Tepe Ev was an incredible experience. I would like to thank Simpson Travel and the local staff for their great service. Everybody made this trip so easy, relaxed and fun. Our three top day trips would probably be: 1. The Poseidon boat trip - a relaxing day out at sea. Everyone on board is really friendly. They will stop the boat so you can have swims in the sea. Lunch is included - I would recommend the chicken or fish but everything is delicious. 2. Saklikent gorge was a fun experience. You should go in your swimming shoes or buy jelly shoes there. 3. The ruins of Patara and Letoon - two great ancient Lykian ruins. The hammam is a great way to relax at the Kalkan Regency Hotel. Overall, this week has been a blast!

The Whawell/Greens August 2024

Love Tepe Ev and its amazing view from the infinity pool. As always Simpson provide extra touches and first class service.

Simpson Travellers July 2024

We've had an unforgettable two weeks - what a holiday, what a view! Simpsons have been brilliant - and Kay, the most helpful and prompt concierge you could wish for. She made everything so easy. We went on three trips suggested by Simpson Travel: The Sunken City - opportunity to swim in some exquisite spots, the sea was just so clear; the Greek island Meis - picture perfect. Take the opportunity to visit the Blue Cave - just take your swimming costumes as sometimes the tide is too high to enter by boat; Saklikent Cave - yet another stunning destination. You'll need jelly shoes and either a small rucksack or waterproof cover for your phone - you'll want to take pictures! The full-length walk up the gorge (and back) takes around two hours. Our teenagers loved it. Our tour guide was brilliant at navigating and helping us throughout. We also went on the Poseidon boat trip which was thoroughly enjoyable and very relaxing. It's a big boat and very spacious, plus lovely food, friendly staff and plenty of opportunities to swim.

The Morgans July 2024

Memories are made of this! Tepe Ev was stunning - we couldn’t believe our luck. And our local concierge, Kay, was so helpful. We couldn’t have asked for any more. Thank you.

Mrs Danielle Morgan July 2024

Amazing! If you would like to do something fun, get the ferry from Kas to the magical Greek island of Meis - you won't regret it! Picture-perfect and super chilled! Simpson Travel was great and the team hospitable. The villa and its views are fantastic. Kalkan's residents and the vibe is fabulous. Thank you Kay & team!

Nina, Barney & Carol June 2024

As someone who is lucky enough to enjoy 6+ foreign holidays a year, the Simpson Travel experience was without doubt the best overall service we have ever enjoyed. The communication, efficiency and the local rep where exemplary. The transfer, the initial Villa provisions, the complimentary boat trip and Hammam were exceptional additions. We were so impressed we have already rebooked for next year.

Mr Ian Camplin October 2023

Excellent accommodation with outstanding views.

Ms Rhoda Nikolay September 2023

This was our 5th trip with Simpson Travel as we are always so well looked after and always feel like important customers ! Tepe Eve was incredible so peaceful ! a real dream breathtaking views and a great sized pool. Spacious accommodation and extremally well looked after property. Lovely team of cleaners and our rep Kay was always on hand. We had wonderful massages arranged for us in the villa and a delicious Meze platter delivered. You can also arrange BBQ cooked for you at the villa for a very reasonable price. We didn't want to leave and will book again for next year for sure. Thanks Simpson Travel another fantastic holiday.

Sarah Melbourn August 2023

This was our second consecutive holiday at villa Tepe Ev and it was as fabulous as our holiday in 2022. The villa is located in a beautiful spot with fantastic views and the sunset is breathtaking. It is only a 10 minute drive from Kalkan town centre and the taxi service is brilliant should you not want to drive yourself. If you are considering staying in villa Tepe Ev then do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed. Another wonderful holiday with Simpson Travel - thank you.

Mr Simon Bailey August 2023

After a break of four years, we returned to Tepe Ev and we were not disappointed. A full-on week of pure relaxation! We visited Indigo Bach Club daily – customer service was excellent, we loved the location and the views were stunning. The villa is just amazing. On the nights we didn’t venture out, we just spent time watching the sun go down and dipping into the pool. Our rep, Kay, was always on hand if needed – a big thank you to her. We will not leave it for four years again…am already planning next year.

Suzie, Mike, Joel & Jude July 2023

Our 3rd visit to Tepe Ev with Simpson, and again neither disappointed us. A completely R & R week in this very private home away from home.

Parminder Latimer May 2023

Tepe Ev is a real gem of a villa. Don't be put off by the steep track from the road to the villa as the view from the terrace is simply breathtaking. If you enjoy good food and a villa that offers total privacy and chill out with a view to die for then Tepe Ev won't disappoint.

Paul Derrick October 2022

I was hugely impressed by Simpson Travel from start to finish. Their communication in advance was excellent and once in Turkey the transfer, villa, contact with Kitty the rep was all spot on. It’s also the surprising additional benefits - however small (daily fresh bread delivered) or large (a day out on the Poseidon gulet boat) all included with the price of the villa booking. Would not hesitate to recommend Simpson Travel to anyone, they really are a class apart.

Timothy Vine September 2022

We had the most amazing holiday at Villa Tepe Ev and could not fault anything. To that end we booked to return in 2023 before returning home. The Villa is superb throughout, the cleaners are very thorough and friendly and the daily delivery of a loaf of complementary bread was very well received. The views are spectacular, especially when the sun sets and the location to Kalkan is superb. Although we had a hire car we utilised a local Taxi company to go out most evenings and they charged only 90TL (just less than £5) each way. Our representative Kitty is definitely worthy of mention as she was really helpful throughout, extremely knowledgable and very easy to get in touch with. A really enjoyable holiday and very highly recommended.

Simon Bailey August 2022

Outstanding customer service! Every member of staff is friendly, helpful and incredibly efficient.

Janet Foundly July 2022

All round success as this was our first trip to Turkey. Simpsons we’re easy to deal with, gave valuable recommendations & took away any stress. From start to end we cannot recommend Simpsons travel enough, even the concierge at the destination was always willing to help with quick response & great advise on Kalkan & the surrounding area.

Sharon Bladen-Green May 2022

Lovely property, excellent pool and view. Taxi transfers from and to the airport were excellent. We had great service from Hasan, the local taxi driver, to take us to and from Kalkan harbour most evenings. The daily bread delivery was much appreciated. Kitty was very prompt in responding to our messages/queries but the lack of face-to-face contact due to Covid-19 was regrettable.

Simpson Travellers September 2020

We wanted a private villa to completely relax and Tepe Ev delivered this and much more. A luxurious and spacious villa which was difficult to tear ourselves from, but we did to enjoy the complimentary Turkish Bath and boat trip, both absolutely lovely and visited Kalkan twice. Kalkan is a lovely place, beautiful harbour and relaxed. We returned home and booked the trip again for next September... a first for us!

Mrs Latimer September 2019

We had a wonderful week at this stunning villa. A fabulous pool and a private and peaceful setting. It is the ideal spot to relax in the sun, have a drink in the shade, dine on the terrace or just enjoy the view. Nearby Kalkan has lots of fantastic restaurants, bars, shops and a wonderful atmosphere that we have thoroughly enjoyed but it isn’t easy to tear yourself away from Tepe Ev. We’re already missing the spectacular sunsets!

Mrs O’Dwyer September 2019

Thank you for a truly relaxing break. We really appreciated the included barbecue (it was a very special treat) and the villa was very comfortable and very private which can be difficult to find in Kalkan! Kitty was a wealth of knowledge and nothing was too much trouble.

Alan & Sheila September 2019

I think the level of service was 5-star and the attention to detail immaculate.

S Kerfoot July 2019

We have had the best holiday at Tepe Ev. From start to finish, Simpson Travel has been fantastic, quick at replying to emails and the rep, Kitty, was super-efficient and friendly. Tepe Ev is a very special place – beautiful views over to Kalkan, quiet and private and the pool was superb. We wanted a memorable holiday for the end of GCSEs for my eldest and Simpson definitely succeeded in recommending this villa. Just need to book the next one now!

S James July 2019

We’ve had the most fabulous, relaxing holiday. Loved every moment her at this beautiful villa. Kalkan is a very special place. Big thanks to all who made Oscar’s 13th birthday so special.

Emma, Andy, Oscar June 2019

Our rep, Kitty, was very knowledgeable and very helpful. She recommended restaurants and arranged a taxi driver for us throughout our stay. She replied very promptly to our enquiries and nothing seemed too much trouble.
