The call to Simpson Travel to book our summer holiday is a joy. Always knowledgeable and helpful and process is so easy. Would definitely recommend.

Ms Ingrid Kitzing, June 2025

Simpson provided a wonderful service from the moment we booked our holiday, the concierge Laura was very helpful and friendly, particularly helping us out in relation to our very late flight home on the final day. The information provided in advance of the holiday was fabulous, and it was great to arrive to a proper welcome hamper!

Mrs Mandy Mason, May 2025

As a regular client of Simpson’s, we continue to be impressed by the support and service received throughout the whole holiday experience including the logistical organisation of travel, quality of accomodation and concierge services. This year found us back in Kalkan, which is great destination for those looking for a wide choice of quality accommodation, fine dining restaurants and boutique shopping offering something for everyone. We stayed at the Villa Sultan which provided unsurpassed views out to see with sublime sunrises and sunsets as the backdrop to start and end your days. Whether looking out over the bay of Kalkan from the infinity pool or soaking up the sun from one of the multiple terraces, it has provided a holiday experience which will last long in the memory.

Mr Michael Baines, May 2025

Loved our stay at Villa Sultan. The sunsets from the Villa were simply stunning. The easy stroll down to palm beach club was welcomed given the temperatures. The kids absolutely loved the palm beach platform and inflatables and the food there was excellent. The 10 minute walk into the old town was beautiful but you do need decent footwear as it’s a little rough under foot. The water taxi across to the bay was perfect. We loved the Hamam experience and the boat trip. We often say we never return to the same place twice but Kalkan won us over. We will be back for sure.

Mrs Joanne Gilshan, August 2024

First time I have used Simpson Travel. Will happily use them again. Every member of the team was extremely helpful and the local representative was excellent. The accommodation was as described which was great. Thank you Simpsons

Mrs Sandra Holdsworth, August 2024

All went very well, we had a fantastic holiday. The location of the villa was amazing, with spectacular views from all levels. The trip out on Poseidon gave us a wonderful day, the Haman was an experience enjoyed by us all. We would recommend Simpson Travel.

Dr Richard George Hartnoll, July 2024

Kay our concierge was amazing - so helpful and very quick to respond. Our arrival was very late (plane delayed 6 hours) and Kay went out of her way to meet 2 of our family from the bus stop. Nothing seemed too much trouble for her - she arranged a celebration meal, booked additional massages, sorted out villa problems. She made the holiday easy for us.

Mrs Julie Todd, May 2024

We are again indebted to Simpson Travel for another truly fabulous family holiday (first one in Villa Sultan). It is everything our family holiday desires – a beautiful villa with panoramic views, which take our breath away at every glance, so much space and grounds, we’re never on top of each other. The 5-minute amble into town is ideal as we love to explore the enticing shops, boutiques, bars, restaurants and markets, without having to rely on taxis. The terrace at Palm Beach Club is perfect – as are the lazy lunches and smiley staff. Breakfast on the villa terrace with freshly delivered bread, local honey, fruit and coffee was perfect and we could eat at our leisure, much to the likes of our late-rising teenagers. We would enjoy an early swim or some of our own workouts whilst waiting for them to rise. The gulet trip was again the highlight of our week, not to mention the hammam at the Kalkan Regency. Patara ruins are beautiful – just avoid the middle of the day. We have savoured every delicious meal recommended and booked by the wonderful Kay. Her help has made the whole holiday seamless, thank you. The best place, however, was the villa pool – watching the sunset or listening to the ‘call to prayer’ from the local mosques, whilst watching all the boats return. We will be back and have absolutely no doubts in booking either villa again – because of the Turkish charm and attention to detail and also the fantastic service and care offered by Simpson Travel.

The Lake family, August 2023

A great week away with the family. Another fab Villa with great outdoor space, lovely pool and stunning sea views. Just above Palm Beachclub and walking distance to all the restaurants. We had beer o’clock every night on the terrace with a beautiful sunset.

Mrs Tristana Osborne, August 2023

This was our 2nd time at this amazing villa. Perfectly placed for a lazy day watching the ships come in and out, strolling 2 minutes to the Palm Beach club for a drink or lunch, and just a gentle 15 minute walk into Kalkan's beautiful harbour and roof top restaurants. A perfect holiday..

Laurel Dines, June 2023

This was our first trip with Simpson Travel but we will definitely travel with this brilliant company again. Everything about the management of our holiday has been professional, friendly and hassle free. First rate staff including Kay our concierge who met us for coffee and chat and lots of local information..

Karen Rhodes, May 2023

Villa Sultan and Kalkan really are the best. The view from the villa is out of this world and it’s located so close to the town. The service from Simpson and our rep Zeze was phenomenal. We went on the boat trip organised by Simpson which was such a great day. Zeze was super helpful throughout our stay and always available. Simpson really are the best tour operator and they think of every detail. We can’t wait to return with Simpson back to Kalkan and villa Sultan.

Claire Elston, October 2022

The experience travelling with Simpson continues to be first class. This years experience confirms there continued commitment to excellence.

Phillip Chapman, October 2022

We had a brilliant trip to Kalkan. We’d definitely recommend Simpson Travel.

Mr Burrows, September 2022

What a fantastic place to stay- amazing views of the town, near enough to walk in but far enough to be 'away from it all'. The day trip on the gules was absolutely wonderful- fantastic food and drink and the staff on the boat were lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the hamam trip too. Overall a great place to spend a week's holiday- lots to do but also a wonderful place to relax.

Julia Peters, August 2022

The villa was excellent and in a convenient short walk or taxi ride to the beach and central Kalkan with all of its amenities. The Simpson’s concierge Zeze was excellent, always available if needed and proved to be very helpful and efficient. If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, and convenient villa stay close to Kalkan then would highly recommend Villa Sultan.

Margaret Jones, May 2022

We have had a fantastic week at Villa Sultan. The villa is in an excellent position – two minutes from Palm Beach Club and a 10-minute walk into town via a track. Views are fantastic. Kalkan is a lovely place to visit and I look forward to coming back some day. Simpson Travel have been amazing.

Una Willis – via TrustPilot, October 2021

It was our first time travelling with Simpson and I have to say we were unbelievably impressed with the service from start to finish. They literally think of everything from all the information before you travel, to the welcome packs and the in-resort support from Kitty, the concierge. The villa views were out of this world and in the current Covid-19 climate it was a welcome break to escape normality to a little bit of tranquillity and spectacular views. Kalkan itself is an amazing destination, with some fantastic rooftop bars with views across the harbour and restaurants serving incredible fish and local cuisine. We also used the Palm Beach club and the Hammam which were both great. The whole experience has been fantastic and we cannot recommend Simpson highly enough. We will be back next year and definitely be back to Kalkan.

Claire Elston, September 2020

Lovely stay. Our third visit with Simpson to Kalkan. Sultan is very well situated.

Clare Booth, August 2020

Absolutely amazing! The view, the villa, the service – all fantastic.

Louise Shaill, August 2020

We had a thoroughly enjoyable trip to Kalkan. Simpson Travel was excellent and gave us the reassurance that we were being looked after the whole trip. Thank you all and we would have no hesitation in going on holiday with you again.

The Humphreys family, September 2019

Kitty was excellent. Very efficient, friendly and quick to respond. Complimentary gulet trip was fabulous, Hamam was good too. Would wholeheartedly recommend Kalkan and Simpson.

Simpson Traveller, July 2019

As always Simpson Travel has again delivered another quality holiday. From booking to coming home, the service is seamless we would not go with any other company now. The quality speaks for itself but it’s how you are treated that makes the holiday experience exceptional. Thank you.

Mrs Radley, September 2018

We leave tomorrow with sad faces, but the most wonderful memories from our time here. We have been extremely lucky to have enjoyed two fantastic weeks at Villa Sultan, it’s been everything we could have wished for. To be able to relax by your own pool with such tremendous views is unforgettable. Olivia has been a star – so knowledgeable about the local area, restaurants, taxis, shopping and days out. She even managed to locate missing ‘fudge’ that got swept away with the laundry and was returned the next day to the amazement of my daughter. She organised a day for us on the gullet ‘Poseidon’ which was a highlight and a relaxing morning at The Kalkan Regency spa having a Hamam – all of us together! Bulent has been very helpful, bringing fresh bread every morning, fixing a minor water problem within an hour and keeping everything outside looking perfect. We have had a delivery of squeezed orange juice every morning from Fatih, not to mention many other supplies including fresh fruit for breakfast. We have eaten out nearly every evening, our firm favourite was ‘Aubergine’, but we have never experienced a poor meal. ‘Belgin’s Kitchen’ was a treat, experiencing a Turkish style dinner and the menu and service at ‘Korsan Fish Terrace’ was exceptional. We loved our morning visiting the ruins at Parata. The beach was just beautiful, but a bit too busy for our liking. We preferred the pebble beach in Kalkan and visiting Palm Beach for dips in the sea and turtle spotting! Aristos Watersports took us on an exhilarating ride on an inflatable sofa, and we tried paddle boarding with them too.

Lucy, Dave, Estrella, Sofia & Alfie, August 2018

Excellent villa and beautifully coordinated in resort. Perfect organisation at the airport/car hire, etc. Really liked your offer and will definitely be trying to book with Simpson Travel again.

Mrs Dunstall, July 2016

Simpson Travel looks after you from the moment you book to leaving the airport!

Mrs Norman, May 2016

A great week in a superb villa! Sultan has two key winning points – an astonishing, world class sea view and walk-able to Kalkan. These alone would be enough to want to stay here, but then add the Beach Club hospitality, watersports, bread deliveries, good wi-fi, great pool and good facilities which all makes for a fantastic holiday. Vicki from Simpson Travel was really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. More like a helpful friend with great local knowledge.

Thomas Family, August 2015

Simpson Travel delivered an outstanding holiday for us to Villa Sultan in Kalkan. The whole experience from start to finish was so well organised, and the friendliness and experience of the staff were superb. Everything from research, to booking, to paperwork, to travel, to car hire, to the villa itself and the experience in Turkey were just excellent. Can't recommend Simpson Travel too highly and can't wait to travel again.

Mr Johnston, July 2015

This is the second holiday we have booked through Simpson Travel and it was fabulous. Exactly what we had asked for, a family holiday with a good location close to amenities and the sea. The flight times were good and on time. The reps on the ground have all the local information and advice on where to visit according to your tastes. All in all it was a great experience.

Ms Pritchard-Smith, May 2015

We have enjoyed our stay in Kalkan immensely. The views are spectacular, the weather has been gorgeous. We enjoyed all the restaurants and the bars by the water are lovely. We will definitely come back to this wonderful, beautiful place.

Bob and Lisa, September 2014

We have had a very enjoyable restful fortnight at Villa Sultan. Wonderful views and also very high standard of cuisine. Hope to return again soon!

The Hill Family, July 2014

Thanks to all for a wonderful relaxing week at Villa Sultan! Wonderful weather all week, magnificent views and a very well equipped villa. Food in Kalkan is amazing. Every restaurant has views to die for and the food is always of an extremely high standard.

Mr Collins, June 2014

Fantastic villa and made a wonderful visit to Kalkan. Thanks to Vicki for all the useful info.

Mrs Beaumont, June 2014

Fantastic villa made a wonderful visit to Kalkan. Thanks to Vicki for all the useful info and Bulent is a star, fresh bread every day – always helpful! Managed to drag ourselves away from the villa long enough to see Islamlar – well worth it! All the restaurants are good. We will certainly be returning to Kalkan!

Mrs Bottomley, May 2014

Villa Sultan was the perfect location for our last week in Turkey. It provided us with the choice of being busy sightseeing or relaxing around the pool or at the beach as we wished. The town of Kalkan is a very special place on the Turkish Riviera and we didn't want to leave.

Mrs Ward, September 2013

The staff both at Head Office and in the resort were knowledgeable, polite and efficient. The villa was of a very good standard and well positioned. We would be happy to recommend Simpson Travel to friends and family.

Mrs Olszowska, August 2013

Thoroughly enjoyable holiday from start to finish, Turkish people are very hospitable and the organisation was superb.

Dr Charig, August 2013
