Kalkan has grown over the past few years, albeit with predominantly private villas being authorised outside the periphery of the old village. Kalkan’s many official ‘Green Areas’ are being carefully preserved and we are genuinely optimistic that Kalkan will retain its special charm and ambience for many years to come.

With so much of interest in the surrounding regions and the village itself, Kalkan is a destination that encourages guests to return time and time again. Whether your interests are historical, cultural, and epicurean or you just wish to relax, Kalkan is sure to satisfy.
Kalkan has managed to retain that most elusive of mixtures – an authentic ambience with the relative sophistication that makes it an unusual, picturesque and uniquely welcoming destination.

DINING IN KALKAN
The standard of dining in Kalkan is a wonderful surprise. With restaurant ownership shared between locals and Turks from Istanbul, a wider variation of Mediterranean cuisine is offered than perhaps might be expected from a Turkish town of this size. Certainly, the range and style of cuisine on offer exceeds what is generally available throughout coastal Turkey.

BEACHES & BEACH CLUBS

Several beach clubs complete the swimming options available in Kalkan.
Accessible by water-taxi, taxi or on foot, these clubs are much more than simply platforms cut into the cliff side – they provide a stunning setting and a peaceful haven in which to relax by the water’s edge.
The swimming at the beach clubs is fabulous, with access steps leading directly from the rocks into the clear waters of the bay, some parts of which are freshened by natural underground springs. Most of the clubs also provide water sports for the more active

Swimming and water sport opportunities abound. The town pebble beach has been carefully and attractively extended. There are stunning beaches in the immediate vicinity, with Patara Beach an obvious example.

Patara Beach
With the new road Patara is now just a 30-minute journey by local dolmuş or 15 minutes by car or taxi, and is regularly featured as one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful and undiscovered beaches.
The only building on its entire 18 kilometers of sand is a small café. The only real signs of civilisation are Lycian, with the crumbling ruins of the ancient port of Patara and Letoon scattered along the coastline.

Kaputaş Beach
The dramatic Kaputaş beach is a ten-minute dolmus or taxi ride from Kalkan. It is a beautiful sandy beach found at the foot of a ravine down many, many steps!
