Kalkan is a delightful harbour town, nestling in the foothills of the Toros mountains. Wander from the apartment down the cobbled streets and enjoy the colourful local shops, with carpet bazaars, gold and silver jewellery and ceramics etc. The restaurants from the harbour side to those on the roof terraces are all excellent and you will have difficulty in choosing a favourite.
For those who love the sea and the sun Kalkan is a dream come true. There is an attractive pebble beach in the town and boat trips can be arranged every day to the islands in the bay. There are also beach clubs around the town - these are rock gardens cut into the hillside, and offer sunbathing, water sports and swimming combined with beautiful views and restaurant facilities.
For a change Patara Beach is only a short dolmus ride away and has been featured as one of the best Mediterranean beaches by the Sunday Times. The area around Kalkan is rich in history and you can visit many ancient sites.
