Kalkan is situated on the beautiful Turquoise coast of Turkey - it is sophisticated with exceptional, romantic restaurants many of them having roof terraces overlooking the pretty waterfront harbour. This charming, small resort with its pretty cobbled streets is surrounded by cool forest mountains and is devoid of mass market tourism. There are shops housed in old buildings selling clothes, bags, jewellery and ceramics and a colourful, lively, weekly market. Kalkan has a small, shingle beach and there are free boat shuttle services from the harbour to the luxurious beach clubs. Boats are available to hire for day and half day excursions to the many beautiful surrounding islands. The 12 mile long Patara Beach is a short bus ride/car drive away as is the stunning Saklikent Gorge.
