The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region

The Turquoise Coast of Turkey offers an alluring combination of beautiful scenery and ancient sites and is the perfect place for some fine coastal and inland walking. Highlights include the ruined city of Arycanda, the chance to paddle over the sunken city of Kekova, and some fantastic views along the way.

The delightfully named Turquoise Coast named for its water, appearing turquoise as the sun sets in the sky. Enjoying a cup of coffee or Turkish tea, taking in the wonderful views of the snow capped mountains in the distance.

The protected coastline at Patara is truly spectacular and well worth a trip to enjoy the sun,sea and sand. Enjoy the natural beauty at Saklikent George, Butterfly Valley and Oludeniz.. The historical sites of Xanthos, Patara, Olympus and the sunken cities of Kekove & Myra offer a fascinating insight into Turkey's archaeological history.

The Kalkan / Central Kalkan area

Kalkan curls around a historic harbour sheltered at the foot of the towering Taurus Mountains. The town overlooks a beautiful bay in which islands seem to magically float upon the shimmering sea.

Narrow streets twist down to the harbour, lined with old whitewashed villas with shuttered windows situated alongside small local speciality shops and restaurants in historic buildings. Overhead hang original carved Ottoman Greek timber balconies garlanded with thick masses of brilliantly coloured bougainvillea cascading to the streets below.

Kalkan's main economy is tourism and therefore its citizens put much pride and effort into the town's historic preservation. The many excellent restaurants of Kalkan contribute to the special atmosphere. Good dining has always been the way of life in Kalkan and continues today.

In fact, Kalkan is said to have the highest number of restaurants and bars per inhabitant or square meter on the Turkish coast (over 100 of them!). Additionally, Kalkan is especially renowned in Turkey for its numerous roof terrace restaurants and bars which offer a wonderful view of the town, sea and stars. It's also nice to sit at one of the many fine harbour-side restaurants and watch the pleasure boats and fishermen leave early in the morning as you eat your breakfast, or see the fishing boats return with the day's catch in the evening.
There is lots to do during the day and night-life is fun, but laid-back. You won't find noisy, wild night-life here, like in some other coastal resorts.

Kalkan bay will take your breath away. It's crystal clear Turquoise water, and mountains that rise steeply behind it provide a dramatic and beautiful backdrop in which to enjoy your stay. Kalkan has not been touched by mass tourism, and as a result remains unspoiled, upmarket and very charming, with amazing views at every turn.
Strict building codes ensure the towns historic preservation, and the many fine restaurants contribute to the special atmosphere that brings back visitors time and time again.

Narrow cobbled streets that wind away from the harbour with bougainvillea covered wooden Ottoman balconies and historic architecture are typical of the old town, and the warm Turkish hospitality will stay with you long after your holiday is over.

Beach Clubs
There are a number of beach clubs around the bay that can be reached by free shuttle service from the harbour. These are wonderful paved platform terraces and gardens with ladders going into the sea. They offer swimming, sunbathing, water sports and restaurant/bar facilities and have sun beds and umbrellas for hire.

Water sports

River Canoeing

Tours leave at 10.00 am from the harbour and return around 5.00pm . There is plenty of time for swimming, and lunch is served on board.

A very popular trip is to the ancient sunken city of Simena in the area of Kekova, one of the most beautiful areas of the Lycian coast.A terrible earthquake in the 2nd century AD caused a downward shift of land and the submerged ancient houses can be viewed through glass bottom boats. Boat trips can be booked direct at the harbour or through the tour companies in Kalkan.

“Really good location” Loved the apartment - central location, great views of habour, pool and patio. Very easy stroll in to restaurant and shop area, no need for taxi unlike many villas in Kalkan. Nice layout, good value.

“Great Location , Lovely facilities and excellent villa” 6 of us stayed in this lovely property for just under two weeks, it's very, very nice.... We were delighted when we arrived as it was actually far bigger than we had anticipated with the seperate apartment upstairs and the lovely spacious lounge there was loads of space for us to spread ourselves. Obviously the pool makes for a great way to refresh as the heat kicks in during the day, it was spotlessly clean and a pleasure to use, especially by the kids. The location couldn't have been better. There is a small mini-market just down the steps, and the main shops, restaurants, quayside, etc are all just a couple of minutes down the hill. Fantastic relaxing time had by all and Sally made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect holiday.
