Sit and have a drink in the harbour and watch the boats come in! Spend the evening eating and drinking in one of the many super restaurants or cafes. There are variety of bars, some having blues / jazz or belly dancing. You could of course arrange a moonlight boat trip with dinner on board
Area:
The South West Aegean and Mediterranean coast of Turkey has now become the holiday destination of choice for Europeans. This is not only because the people are so friendly, the food is so good, and because Turkey has a fantastic climate (Season March through November) but also it is very secure and safe. Oh and did we mention that you get really good value for money? Turkey not only provides super beach and activity holidays but also a wealth of archaeological sites from the Lycians to Byzantine, Roman and Greek ruins, not to mention the famous sunken city of Kekova, and the city of Ephesus.
Kalkan:
Kalkan is a historic town situated on Turkey's gorgeous Lycian Turquoise Coast, once a sleepy fishing village, Kalkan today is quietly sophisticated, yet is still extremely picture postcard pretty! With a multitude of upmarket restaurants with rooftop views over the small harbour and 'Snake & Mouse Islands' it has become known as 'The Beverly Hills of the Eastern Mediterranean'.
Kalkan sits under the spectacular backdrop of the Taurus mountains and gazes out over the shimmering turquoise sea of the Med.
