The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region

The area around Kalkan is called the Turquoise Coast and it is a perfect description of the sea colour. The area has a rich history and classical ruins are to be found throughout the area. The nearest to Kalkan can be found a 20 minute ride away, at Xanthos, Letoon and Patara. These sites are also linked by the Lycian Way, an ancient walking trail which goes from Fethiye to Kas, allowing visitors to experience the unspoiled Turkish countryside and village life.
The pebble beach in Kalkan ensures the sea is clear and turquoise. About 10 minutes away by local transport or car is the dramatic sandy beach of Kaputas, situated at the mouth of a spectacular gorge and only about 20 minutes away is the awesome Patara beach, which is 18km of unspoiled sandy beach. Turtles hatch on this beach at certain times of year and it is rightly regarded as one of the world's best beaches.
Not far from Patara, Saklikent is a picturesque gorge and visitors can take an exhilarating walk into the gorge or travel down the river on rubber rings. The local restaurants serve delicious trout, freshly caught in the river.
The nearby town of Kas (pronounced Cash) is reached by a spectacular coastal drive. Its character is quite different from Kalkan, having a more ' bohemian' feel and can be reached by Dolmus, taxi or car. Fethiye is also worth a visit, particularly on a Tuesday which is market day.

Kalkan area

Kalkan is at the centre of a large bay, surrounded by the mighty Taurus mountains. It is an old fishing town that, due to its beauty, has now developed into a stylish holiday destination. The harbour and old town retain their old world charm, as there are strict regulations on their development. In summer the winding narow streets are pedestrianised, which allows visitors to enjoy the ancient character of the village as they wander and browse in the many small shops.
In the harbour you will find Turkish gulets, yachts, local fishing boats and small motor boats. At the end of the harbour you will find an attractive pebble beach. Visitors can also choose to spend the day at one of the beach clubs situated at various locations around the bay , accessed by using the small motor boats which throughout the day ferry visitors free of charge from the harbour.
The choice of places to eat in Kalkan is without comparison and is one of the reasons people return year after year. You will find sophisticated harbour and rooftop restaurants. They serve high quality fresh food and seafood caught earlier that day and provide wonderful views of the sea and town. Each play their own style of music such as jazz, classical, swing, Turkish, sometimes live, but always in keeping with the stylish ambiance of the town. You will also find excellent traditional Turkish restaurants where there is no menu and you choose from the selection of dishes on display that day.
Water sports, including diving, and gulet trips are available in Kalkan. Kas, Patara and other places can be visited using the local Dolmus service (bus service but usually a small minibus) and organised trips or taxis can all be arranged in the village.
Every Thursday is market day in Kalkan when locals and tourists converge to buy the most wonderful fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, olives and cheese as well as household goods, clothes, bags and belts. This is the place to practice your haggling skills. The Turkish residents of Kalkan are another reason why the town has so many repeat visitors. They want you to have a wonderful time and are very hospitable and friendly - the supermarkets will even deliver your shopping but unlike Asda and Tesco they do not charge!!!

How to get there

Dalaman is the usual airport for Kalkan where you can either hire a car or we can arrange private transfer for you. It currently takes about 1hr 45 minutes to Kalkan but is a very interesting journey with lovely views and the chance to absorb the local culture. Many UK airlines fly to Kalkan (Thomas Cook, First Choice, etc) and flights can be booked easily on the internet. It is also possible to fly to Antalya but the transfer distance is longer and therefore more expensive unless you are hiring a car.
