Set against a breath-taking mountain backdrop, the old fishing village, turned popular holiday destination, still retains its old-world charm. The vibrant resort has a treasure trove of narrow streets, whitewashed Ottoman Greek houses and inviting boutiques for you to explore. It’s also famous for its harbourside bars and rooftop restaurants serving a variety of delicious cuisine. Kalkan remains relatively unspoilt with its beautiful natural scenery of green pine forests, deep blue seas and a beautiful bay on which it sits. Perhaps the main stand-out feature is the harbour lined with colourful cafes and restaurants and dotted traditional fishing boats. You can take a boat tour on a classic wooden gullet (Turkish boat) and explore the beauty of the bay. With its closeness to the pine-tree-clad Taurus mountains too, there are plenty of exciting walking and mountain biking routes. You could also book a horse riding tour to traverse the mountains and olive vineyards, even ride on Patara Beach. In the town centre, you’ll find shops selling everything from patterned rugs (Kilims) to chic souvenirs. The local market is well worth a visit too to ignite your senses and have a go at haggling. Look out for stalls serving fresh gozleme – traditional and tasty thin dough savoury crepes. By night, head to one of the rooftop bars or restaurants for stunning views of the town with your evening meal. It wouldn’t be a fantastic holiday without a trip to the beach, right? For a soft sandy spots head to the 12km-long Patara Beach which is also a National Park or the much-photographed Kaputas. Both are a short drive away or Kalkan has many day beach clubs – complete with paved platform terraces and restaurant facilities and opportunities to take part in water sports like jet ski and waterskiing. Whether you want to swim, snorkel or just watch the world go by, it’s the ideal day out. For exploring further afield, you could drive 30 minutes to the bohemian town of Kas, stopping off to explore the beautiful surrounding villages on the way. In Kas, there are more top-notch restaurants and shops, alongside the impressive ancient site of Antiphellos. From Kas, you could book a boat trip to Kekova island where you can swim or snorkel around the part-sunken ruins of Dolchiste, an ancient 2nd-century town which was destroyed by an earthquake. A stunning area and a day out not to miss. Terms & Conditions: Arrival time? Check in 16:00 onwards Departure time? Checkout time is 10:00 or earlier Energy costs included?
