Kalkan
A harbor town of white walls and bougainvillea, with rooftop restaurants and a more refined, quieter atmosphere than Kaş.
Kalkan was originally a Greek fishing village and is now a holiday town known for boutique villas and rooftop restaurants. Along the stone-paved slopes, white buildings are draped in bougainvillea, and the harbor is full of yachts. The town has small beaches, so most people swim from hotel sea platforms. Kaputaş Beach lies about 7 km east, and Patara is about 15 km west. It is ideal for a stay of one or two nights, with sunset over the harbor enjoyed from a rooftop restaurant.
