Out & About
Once a traditional fishing village, Kalkan has grown to become one of the prettiest and most exclusive resorts in Turkey. Narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses draped in bougainvillea lead down to a charming harbor, with over 100 restaurants offering everything from traditional meze to fresh-caught fish.
Beaches & Coves
Kalkan is surrounded by some of the finest beaches on the Lycian Coast. Kaputaş Beach, a short drive away, is a stunning cove framed by dramatic cliffs. Patara Beach, one of the longest sand beaches in Turkey, offers a quieter, more expansive setting.
Excursions & Activities
From boat trips along the coastline to visits to the ancient Lycian ruins at Xanthos and Letoon, there is plenty to explore. Kayaking over the sunken city at Kekova is a highlight, as are the walking trails through the surrounding hills.
Kalkan Old Town
Just a few minutes on foot from the hotel, the Old Town is a charming network of narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses, bougainvillea and independent shops. The harbour area offers a selection of restaurants and cafes along the waterfront.
Markets & Local Culture
The weekly Thursday market in Kalkan is a lively affair, with stalls selling fresh produce, spices, textiles and handmade goods. It offers a genuine glimpse into the local way of life.
