Holiday Calbis

You’ll feel a million miles from anywhere at the family-run Holiday Calbis, a terracotta-roofed hotel tucked among lush tropical gardens that's got peaceful escape written all over it. Everything here is centred on relaxation, but you can still find your fix of hustle and bustle, too, as the property is just 10 minutes' walk from the centre of Dalyan. Better yet, hop on the complimentary shuttle that leaves for town every evening at 7pm and explore what the evening has in store. 

As for what you'll find on-site, the palm trees and flower beds give way to three pools in the middle of the grounds. One is a quiet pool set aside for adults, while the other two are for adults and kids alike. There’s a snack bar close to the main pool, where you can grab cold drinks, snacks, ice creams and proper meals throughout the day.

Adjoined to the snack bar you'll find an airy restaurant that delivers on tasty buffet breakfasts. Guests particularly praise the show cooking station, where a friendly chef serves up omelettes, pancakes and eggs just how you like them.

The rooms here are of a modern design, yet still have an authentic Turkish feel to them; with whitewashed walls and colourful furnishings. Opt for a Deluxe room for more luxurious interiors and mod-cons like a flat screen satellite TV. All rooms come with the bonus of a balcony, though, which will give you a view over the gardens.
