Kalkan
Turkey
The beautiful
resort of Kalkan lies on Turkey's fantastic Turquoise Coast. The town
itself has grown up around the small harbour, a wonderful quiet village
with good restaurants and quiet bars this is the ultimate destination
for that peaceful holiday, good food, good company, sun and a warm Turkish
welcome await. Kalkan is growing in popularity with visitors from Europe
and around the World, but has not been spoilt by mass tourism; many
holiday visitors return year after year and some have even invested
in their own holiday home in the area. The small harbour area is charming
with its small Turkish fishing boats and the occasional visiting yacht.
There are some excellent restaurants with tables that overlook the harbour
and crystal clear sea beyond, a wonderful place to relax in the evening
with a good glass of wine and watch the sun go down. Behind the harbour
is a maze of narrow streets with old white washed buildings, colourful
shuttered windows and Ottoman wooden balconies dripping with bougainvillea,
backed by the spectacular Taurus Mountains, the atmosphere is unique.
The evenings
in Kalkan are centred around the many excellent restaurants and bars;
there are no noisy night clubs and discos here, so you are assured of
peaceful but enjoyable evenings. Many of the restaurants have roof terraces
with panoramic views across the bay, and with excellent local dishes
on offer, including locally caught fresh fish there isn't really the
need for anything else to keep you occupied.
