Local Area Details

Kalkan is situated on the South West corner of the glorious turquoise coast of Turkey, surrounded by the Taurus mountains
This picturesque former fishing village offers a more sophisticated holiday than the average resort. The white washed houses rise up the hillside from the harbour overlooking a beautiful bay. The town has retained its charm as a result of strict building regulations and the work of the Kalkan Foundation.
You can relax in the street cafes or spend time in one of the nearby beach clubs, which offer sunbathing, swimming, water sports and restaurant facilities.
In the evening there are a multitude of places to eat in Kalkan, from the harbour side and famous roof terrace restaurants to the street cafes and bars, forever popular with the teenagers.
You can browse in the shops in the narrow streets which wind through the town and which stay open until about midnight, looking at glassware, silver, jewellery, clothes, carpets and the traditional hand painted pottery. Don't be surprised when the friendly shop keeper offers you a glass of apple tea.
On Thursday there is a weekly market, selling everything, food, spices, clothes, household goods, shoes, table linen, pottery and much more.
If you want to explore outside Kalkan you can take a dolmus (local bus) to nearby Kas or to the bustling town of Fethiye, where you will find a very large weekly market on Tuesday and many shops selling carpets and jewellery in particular. You can also take the dolmus to nearby Kaputas Beach which is a small, stunning sandy beach in a ravine, though there are a lot of steps down to it! Alternatively you can visit Patara beach, about 20 minutes away by dolmus, which boasts 12 miles of golden sand.
For the more adventurous you can hire a jeep to tour inland or along the coast or you can paraglide in Kas or Olu Deniz . You can take part in the many water sports offered, scuba diving, sailing, snorkelling, river canoeing on the Xanthos, cruising on a gulet, parasailing or just swimming.
You can take a trip to Saklikent Gorge, the longest and deepest gorge in Turkey, where the Xanthos River has carved itself into the rock and walk up the gorge where the sun never penetrates making the water ice cold, wonderful on a hot day.
If you decide to visit Kekova Island you will see the remains of the ruined Lycian city of Simena beneath the boat and if you are feeling energetic you can climb up to the ruins of the castle above it. For those who want to explore the ancient historical sites there are many to choose from. You could take a boat trip along the Dalyan and see the rock tombs or visit nearby Xanthos, the capital city of the Lycian Federation and walk round the amphitheatre, tombs and a Byzantine church. At Letoon, which was an important religious centre for Lycia there are the remains of temples to the three national deities, Leto and her twin sons Artemis and Apollo.
