Kalkan Turkey offers a variety such as charming whitewashed houses and fishermen who come ashore in the morning with their fresh catch and the boats leave for the beaches and bays. After a day of your favourite holiday sport, sun bathing, snorkelling or basking in the Mediterranean, retreat to the delights of the Likya Gardens Hotel, Luxury hotels in Kalkan (scheduled to open in 2012), to relax in one of its scrumptiously delightful rooms or explore the cobbled streets in the old town bazaar which offers an array of curiosity shops.
One of the charms of Kalkan, is that it is a small peaceful Mediterranean resort and fishing town on the beautiful Turquoise Coast of Turkey. It has yet to be touched by mass tourism. More sophisticated than the usual resort town, Kalkan appeals to travellers looking for more than the run of the mill holiday.
Kalkan is situated on Turkey’s beautiful south west Mediterranean coast, and, is conveniently situated between the towns of Fethiye (87km to the west) and Kaş (27km to the east) and 200km from the regional centre of Antalya so it’s the ideal place from which to have a two centre holiday. Nestled in the bay at the foot of the spectacular Taurus Mountains the natural topography of the town and its surrounding area affords spectacular sea and mountain views where the islands seem to magically float upon the sparkling sea. Narrow streets twist down to the harbour through the historic town and are lined with listed whitewashed Kalkan villas with shuttered windows situated alongside small local specialty shops and restaurants. Due to its great charm, Kalkan has a growing number of perennial visitors who choose the town as their main repeated destination. There are few towns quite like Kalkan along Turkey’s coast, so your trip to the Likya Gardens Hotel (scheduled to open in 2012), will be enhanced by charm and character aplenty.
Kalkan curls snugly around an ancient harbour sheltered at the foot of the towering Taurus Mountains. The town overlooks a beautiful bay in which islands seem to magically float upon the shimmering sea. Narrow streets snake and twist down to the harbour through the historic town and are lined with listed whitewashed villas with shuttered windows situated alongside small local specialty shops and restaurants. Overhead hang original ornately carved Ottoman timber balconies garlanded with brilliantly coloured bougainvillea cascading to the streets below. It is no surprise therefore that, Kalkan, once the favourite summer resort for wealthy Turks, has now become internationally renowned. It is a very special, delightful place.
