A small peaceful Mediterranean resort and fishing town on the beautiful Turquoise Coast of Turkey, Kalkan has not been touched by mass tourism. More sophisticated than the usual resort town, Kalkan appeals to travelers looking more than a 'sun and sea' holiday. According to the Sunday Times, Kalkan attracts the kind of visitor who would also enjoy 'Tuscany or the Dordogne. The Guardian likens the Town to 'the Italian Riviera minus the poseurs'. There are many historical sites in the immediate region including Xanthos, Letoon, Patara and Tios. The cobbled winding streets display historic Turkish Buildings, local shops, bars, restaurants and boutiques. The quality of food is very high and many cater for the more cosmopolitan clientèle that Kalkan attracts. The nightlife comprises of bars and few late night live music venues.
