Nestled in a bay at the foot of the Taurus Mountains, Kalkan and its surrounding area affords breathtaking sea and mountain views.  Set in the heart of the old Lycian region, Kalkan is surrounded by historical sites and stunning beaches.

Kalkan is a bougainvillea-covered harbour village which has managed to retain that most elusive of mixtures – an authentic ambience with the relative sophistication that makes it unusual, charming, picturesque and above all, uniquely welcoming.   Strict conservation laws ensure that the heart of the village remains unaltered.

Winding cobbled streets, colourful local shops and over 100 excellent harbour-side and roof terrace restaurants provide for all tastes.  Kalkan attracts a discerning mix of visitors and all the eateries reflect this. 

Amenities include: excellent healthcare provisions (medical centre, dentist, doctors, pharmacy), well stocked supermarkets, butchers, fishmongers, banks, post offices, internet café, excellent Thursday market.

Although Kalkan has its own pebbled beach, there are beautiful sandy beaches close by - including Patara Beach, featured as one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful and undiscovered beaches - and the dramatic cove of Kaputus.  Kalkan offers several beach clubs, accessed by water taxi as well as various water sports and diving opportunities.  Private or shared gullets provide a perfect way to explore the coastline.
