Originally a local town of winding cobbled lanes and traditional sea-food restaurants, today Kalkan is a bustling town with colourful markets, vibrant bars and restaurants as well as charming boutiques and artisanal fare. Kalkan is set on one of the most beautiful parts of Turkey's ‘Turquoise Coast' and offers endless boating and water sports potential. Boat trips, whether by gulet (traditional wooden fishing boat) or yacht, are a memorable way to explore hidden coves and islands. Stopping off for snorkelling, or a local lunch of gozleme (flatbread) will be a pleasure. Kalkan is a historically enchanting place, remaining an unspoiled haven of luscious nature, crystal-clear azure sea, historic architecture, ancient history and warm traditional Turkish hospitality. Known for its proximity to ancient Lycian sites (around 20 major sites) and distinctive funerary architecture, history buffs will be in their element. With the majestic Taurus mountain range as a backdrop, access to local life and traditional cuisine, this part of Turkey has much to love, and remains free of mass-tourism.
