There is something unique about Kalkan that makes this a very special place to visit and the perfect place to experience a little bit of Turkey.

Nestled at the base of a mountain the pretty town descends to the sea in amaze of cobbled streets and whitewashed houses.

This once sleepy fishing village now has an air of sophistication about it with an abundance of interesting shops, restaurants, bars and cafés. These all come to life as the sun goes down and the town buzzes with activity as visitors and locals alike enjoy the magical Kalkan nightlife.

Relaxation is easily found in Kalkan. You can stretch out in the sun by the water's edge at the many beach clubs or enjoy the atmosphere of the town beach where the local children play and the water is clear and turquoise.

If you want to soak up Turkey's colourful history, Kalkan is perfectly located in the heart of the Lycian region with numerous ancient historical sites within easy access.

There is something for everyone in Kalkan and as much or as little to do depending on how the mood takes you.
