Kalkan - For A Traditional Turkey Holiday

For many years Kalkan in Turkey has been a hidden secret from the mass tourist crowds. People who come to Kalkan are taken in by it's charm and quickly fall in love with the resort and the surrounding area. It is easy to see why as Kalkan is set in a beautiful area which has fantastic scenery on this stretch of coastline. Many tourists return time after time, and quite a few have now bought their own holiday properties in Kalkan.

Kalkan is set on a hillside looking over Kalamar Bay, it has pretty cobbled streets that are lined with shops and restaurants all of which lead down to the harbour where boats come and go at their own pace. The hotels are dotted across the hill and all offer lovely views. Although Kalkan does not have a beach of it's own, the nearby Kaputas Beach is set in a beautiful cove, be warned though there are quite a number of steps - not so bad when your going down, but coming back up will make you fit! For a even better fantastic sandy beach, the nearby resort of Patara is a top choice, situated around a twenty minute dolmus ride away.

Some people take holidays in Kalkan time after time thanks to the charming locals and the natural beauty. Daytimes in Kalkan are often spent lazing around the pool, but for those who like more active holidays there is plenty to do in and around Kalkan. The beautiful Olu Deniz is around an hour and a half's drive away, much closer is the town of Kas which has a nice harbour and plenty of shops, boat trips are available to a tiny Greek island called Meis, it is a great day out and a trip back in time to how Greece used to be. An excursion that is highly recommended is a visit to Saklikent Gauge, a fantastic natural gauge that brings water from the mountains to the sea. You have the opportunity to walk through the gauge and enjoy the cool water and fresh air.
