Kalkan, described as Turkey's best kept secret, is a small, sophisticated resort set on the Turkish Mediterranean Riviera. The town nestles on the foot of the Taurus mountains and was once a small fishing village, it is now a charming holiday resort consisting of colorful cobbled streets, white washed houses, interesting shops and harbourside restaurants. It provides all the necessary amenities. There are supermarkets, a post office, banks with ATM machines, a medical centre, chemists, dentists, internet cafes, and a wide assortment of shops selling everything from Turkish rugs, traditional clothes, jewelery, souvenirs etc, to modern boutiques and leather shops. There is a market every Thursday which sells all sorts of local produce, teas, spices, pottery. One of our favourite things to do is charter one of the boats in the harbour for the day. Many archaeological sites including Patara beach & ruins, Kekova, Saklikent Gorge, Xanthos, Letoon, and many more, all close to Kalkan.
