St Nicholas (father Christmas) was born at Patara, all within easy reach of Kalkan. Kalkan also has a lovely clean pebble beach and close by are two of Turkey's finest sandy beaches at Patara and Kaputas.

Kalkan - an unspoilt hideaway. This beautiful harbour village is set in breathtaking landscape overlooking the sea. It has a wonderful laid back atmosphere and conservation laws ensure that the old village retains its history, character and charm with winding cobbled streets, the many highly individual shops sell beautiful handmade carpets, fine silver and gold jewellery, ceramics, and antiques at prices you may find hard to resist. Also there are over 100 excellent restaurants to chose from!
Kalkan has several supermarkets (offering a free delivery service) and a variety of small shops also a Pharmacy, dentist, and a pristine doctors surgery, there are several banks and ATM machines, Post office and shops offering money exchange at competitive rates.
In addition to its own beach the famous Patara and Kaputas beaches are easily accessible.
There are a variety of beach clubs where you can swim in the crystal clear water with the miriad of fish, or use the water sports available. Alternatively take a boat trip around the bay to include lunch and tea for a lazy day at sea!
Kalkan and surrounding areas are rich in ancient history, with plenty of historic sites to visit including, Tlos, Xanthos, Patara and the sunken city at Kekova. There is a fantastic gorge at Saklikent which is the longest and deepest in Turkey.
Locally there is white water rafting, Horse riding on the beach, jeep safaris , canoeing, deep sea diving trips,and walking.
If you want the really old Turkey head inland into the mountains and pine forests and enjoy an inexpensive meal at one of the trout farms.
