Kalkan Holidays

A True Taste Of Turkish Delight…

Often referred to as the prettiest of the resorts along the south west coast, Kalkan began life as a small fishing village, but it’s harbour is now home to some very glamorous yachts, aswell as colourful fishing boats. Despite the addition of a few new hotels and apartments, Kalkan holidays are still relatively uncommercialised meaning you get to see the traditional side of Turkey too.

The narrow cobbled streets with white painted houses and flower covered balconies complement the modern hotels to perfection. Bazaar style shops and traditional restaurants wind their way down to the harbour walls. Evenings on holidays in Kalkan are spent dining al fresco on the roof top cafes, watching the sun set over the dazzling Mediterranean Sea, or take a stroll down to the waters edge to watch the boats bobbing in the moonlight, whilst enjoying a refreshing glass of locally produced ‘raki’.

Visit The Beautiful Blue Lagoon…

Kalkan holidays only have a small pebbled beach to offer, yet there are bathing platforms jutting out into the warm Mediterranean Sea, perfect for diving into the refreshing blue waters. Or why not catch the local dolmus or water taxi along the coast to Kapitas or Patara with their glorious sandy beaches.

For days out whilst on holidays to Kalkan, visit the local market at Fethiye, or the beautiful Blue Lagoon at Olu Deniz. You’re never far away from an archaeological site on Kalkan holidays, and the ruins of Simena Castle, ancient Myra and the sunken city of Kekova are all within easy reach. Accommodation on Kalkan holidays mainly consists of small hotels, guest houses and apartments, the warm hospitality extended by their owners epitomises the traditional feel that this resort exudes in abundance.
