Kalkan / Komurluk area
Kalkan has a unique cosmopolitan feel about it that draws back discerning British visitors as well as guests from other parts of Turkey and the rest of the world.
White washed buildings surrounding the picturesque harbour. It's narrow cobbled streets are lined with craft shops, boutiques and restaurants. Restaurants (many of them with roof top terraces) specialize in everything from traditional Ottoman/Turkish fare to sophisticated fine dining. The quality is excellent with plenty of fresh produce and varied menus. Prices are very reasonable giving plenty of opportunities to try a different array of dining experiences. There are several stylish bars dotted around for those who wish to relax with a drink, listening to all kinds of music from jazz, pop, blues to traditional Turkish.
Whilst the gentlemen are having themselves a hair cut and shave in a traditional Turkish barber shop, the ladies can browse the many boutiques, jewellery and craft shops. Whether it's ceramics, glassware, carpets or merely cushions, the choices are endless. The locals love to barter and their natural hospitable nature will usually mean that they will offer a cup of turkish or apple tea to refresh you during the negotiation experience. The Turks just love to see the tourists happy and make friends.
For the sun worshippers, Kalkan has it's own small pebble beach but the beach clubs around the town are a firm favourite with the tourists. These have bathing platforms with sun loungers and parasols and the advantage of restaurants and bars. There is an entry fee which includes sun loungers and parasols and transport to and from the club by water taxi. Some offer water sports at an extra charge.
Scuba diving is available locally with PADI certified schools. The area is excellent for fishing, snorkelling or just exploring the surrounding area by sea on a gulet day cruise.

The uninterupted views of the sea, the port and the surrounding coastline were superb. Your apartment has a lovely feel and we were always pleased to return after a day out. Even though we do not return to the same location twice, it is likely that we will be back." July 2007
Mr and Mrs W (W. Yorks) - "Just a short note to say we all had a fantastic time during our stay at your apartment last week. An idyllic location, well equipped and furnished, it all contributed to being the most comfortable visit to Kalkan by far, and we will certainly consider a return visit. Thanks for making the whole thing such a smooth, trouble free process." August 2007
