We fell in love with Kalkan over 10 years ago and still feel the same way about this dream destination. We love walking along Patara Beach with our dogs. Our favourite chill activity is going out for the day on one of Gulet Boats for the day, to completely relax and swim. The lunch is always amazing. We are spoilt for choice when it comes to eating out, there are lots of lovely rooftop restaurants and also down on the harbour.

Kalkan is a harbour town set in a bay with a breathtaking landscape. It is located on Turkey's south west coast, between the towns of Fethiye (85 km to the west) and Kas (27 km to the east). With dramatic views of the Taurus Mountains behind and shimmering sea views of the Mediterranean to the front of the town. Kalkan was once an Ottoman-Greek fishing village known as Kalamiki. Strict conservation laws have ensured that the old village has retained its authentic ambience and architecture. The horseshoe harbour is full of fishing boats and gulets (Turkish sailing boats) from which scuba diving and day trips can be taken. Kalkan is renowned for its narrow streets and rooftop terraces, where you can leisurely dine with a fantastic choice of many restaurants whilst watching the sunset over the harbour and listen to the call to prayer from the waterside mosque. Kalkan has numerous boutique-style shops selling an array of jewellery, clothing, leather goods, Turkish carpets and lighting. Every Thursday there is a local open-air market selling anything from fresh vegetables, clothing, household goods to herbs and spices. A great place to wander round and do a bit of bartering!
