KALKAN & SURROUNDING AREA
Kalkan descends to the sea in terraces of whitewashed houses, its steep cobbled streets and colourful harbour sleepy under the midday sun.
Once the sun has set, the pretty seafront and picturesque alleyway’s come alive again when visitors and local’s stroll along to their favourite café or restaurant or wander around the Aladdin’s caves That line the principal backstreets’
The little carpet bazaars, arty jewellery shops where lovely pieces are made to measure in silver and gold, turquoise and amber. Here even the fruit, vegetable and grocery stalls stay open until bedtime alongside a handful of outdoor cafes and a few Bar’s catering for varied musical tastes.
Diving down the narrowest of alleyways you soon find yourself in the intricate maze of old houses – some crumbling, some restored – draped in swathes of brilliant bougainvillaea.
During the day Kalkan is almost alarmingly laid-back, as visitors either choose to enjoy the absolutely crystal clear waters lapping the Lucian shores, or go off exploring the wealth of fascinating sites nearby.
The shingle beach next to Kalkan harbour was recently extended and is more than adequate for swimming and sunbathing, but one of the joy’s of staying in this area is to explore the area by sea taxi or dolmus.
At Kalkan’s “Beach Clubs”, just a short boat ride from the harbour, you can swim or snorkel in astonishingly clear waters off the rocks, whilst beautiful Kaputas Bay, between Kalkan and Kas, offers a delightful sand and pebble cove at the mouth of an impressive gorge.
To the west of Kalkan lies Patara, a stunning and undeveloped nine mile stretch of soft golden sand, where the evocative ruins of a once fine city protrude from the encroaching sand dunes.
Patara was voted the world’s best beach in a survey of 100 tour operators conducted by the Sunday Times in 1998!!
Going on a languorous “Blue Cave Cruise” on a fishing boat around “Mouse” and “Snake” islands to secluded coves will give you a taste for further exploration.
Located in the heart of Lycia, Kalkan offers easy access to many of the great classical sites, almost all of which are in stunning natural surroundings.
You can explore up in the mountains, entering a lush region of lakes and streams, pastures and alpine villages.
At the village of Bezirgan you can watch as carpets are woven and at Arycanda there is a wonderful archaeological site, whose remains and setting rival those of Delphi.
At Kekova you can hire a boat over to the pretty little harbour at Kale and clamber up to the hilltop Byzantine fort past the eerie sarcophagi of the ancient Lycians.
Peering from the boat into the pellucid blue waters you may spy the sunken city. At Letoon, the half submerged remains of Leto’s temple are now inhabited by frogs, whist at Xanthos, enigmatic inscriptions and bizarre harpy tombs occupy a dramatic hilltop location.
However you choose to spend your days no one can resist being back in Kalkan by evening time, for the variety and quality of eating places on offer is quite astonishing for such a compact village.
You can sit cross legged on killims or floor cushions and be served with Turkish dishes in the traditional way or indulge in an orgy of fresh seafood in one of the smart waterfront restaurants. There are even little back street restaurants so low key that visitors may never notice them – just the place to enjoy delicious and genuine local cooking.
Magical surroundings, a dash of relaxed sophistication and a seemingly limitless variety of places to explore make Kalkan irresistible. One visit is never enough- you will be back!!!

Kalkan villa rental reviews
SEAN says: "Myself, my wife and our two children visited the Villa Arimas in August 09 and we were all very pleased. While both my wife and I enjoyed the spectacular views over the harbour, the kids loved the spiral staircase and the third floor was a real bonus for our 13 year old son who could take himself away from us all as it had its own bathroom. All of the rooms were furnished lovely. The aircon. worked very well which we needed as it was very hot. The market is a must on Thursday and is about 100yds from the door. The walk to the harbour is about 10 to 15 mins, but I would recommend a taxi on the way back. The Samira apartments are next door, which is great for lunch and a large beer. Kalkan is beautiful and all in all we would certainly recommend."
