The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
Kalkan, historically a small fishing town, is now a peaceful Mediterranean resort on the beautiful Turquoise coast of Turkey which is completely unspoiled by modern commercial tourism. This charming holiday destination has managed to retain a unique atmosphere and has much to offer the modern tourist. If you are looking for somewhere to relax, get away from the hustle and bustle in the UK and simply recharge your batteries this is the place for you.
If you are a fan of water your family/friends could try a Gulet trip which offers the ideal opportunity to get away from it all and explore the many beautiful secluded bays which are not accessible by road. You will be treated to a wonderful day out including lunch, plenty of swimming and snorkling opportunites in the crystal clear waters. Diving, fishing, scuba diving, caneoing and white water rafting can all be booked through our local agent.
If water activities do not entice you why not combine a visit to the fabulous 10mile long Patara Beach with horse riding at sunset.The surrounding area also offers a wealth of history and includes the famous archaeological sites like the Lycian ruins at Patara, Letoon and Xanthos.
Transport is cheap so it is easy to explore, whether by taxi, Dolmus (an air-conditioned public service mini bus) or water taxi.
Louise Apartment is set back about 100 metres from the Kalamar Road, one of the 2 main thoroughfares in Kalkan and is a short (10 minute) walk into the centre of the village.
Kalkan area
Throughout the day Kalkan is sleepy and quiet as many visitors choose to relax in the sun, swim or visit one of the historical sights mentioned above. The town is nestled on the hillside with small cobbled streets and alleyways taking you to the many shops, cafes and restaurants which can be discovered during an evening stroll. Kalkan is transformed at sunset when it comes to life with visitors wandering the narrow streets to choose from a seemingly endless choice of restaurants. Many are tucked away down the side streets or on roof terraces where you can enjoy magical views of the town and moonlit bay. Please read our apartment manual for some suggestions of where to eat.
During the day Kalkan has a small pebbled beach but most holidaymakers prefer to take one of the water taxis available at the harbour to one of the many beach clubs. These have been cut into the rocks at the water's edge around Kalkan Bay and offer excellent lunches, drinks and water sports for you to try.
Kalkan is a very special place which has been overlooked by mass tourism and yet it has the ability to have something for everyone and ensure that you want to return again. You will find that the people are open, friendly and wish you to have an unforgettable holiday.
