Bezirgan
A highland village in a basin about 700 metres above sea level, above Kalkan. It keeps traditional wooden granaries and stone houses and sits on the rural stretch of the Lycian Way.
Bezirgan lies on a flat basin in the mountains north of Kalkan, ringed by hills, with traditional stilted wooden granaries (serender) and stone houses scattered across the fields. It stays cool in summer. The Lycian Way runs from Kalkan through the village toward Sarıbelen, and walkers often stay overnight in its family-run guesthouses. On a hilltop beside the village are the ruins of the ancient city of Pirha, which offers views out to the sea. It is about a 20-minute drive from Kalkan, along winding mountain roads.
