Kalkan is situated between two of the best beaches in Turkey. Kaputas, the second most photographed with its crystal clear emerald water and white sand (10 minute local bus ride), and Patara (30 minute bus ride) is a natural conservation beach where endangered Loggerhead turtles come to lay their eggs. The Turquoise coastline boasts spectacular views of the Mediterranean sea against the beautiful backdrop of the Taurus mountains. As you travel around it is hard not to notice the abundance of olive and pine trees, pomegranate, eucalyptus and cotton. Ancient Lycian tombs are randomly carved into the cliffs and tortoises roam freely. The most spectacular stretch of coastline is between Kalkan and Kas, and the stunning Sakklikent Gorge is nearby with its natural beauty and refreshing mountain water. A full range of water sports, snorkelling, diving and kayaking can be found in and around Kalkan.

The Turquoise Coast around Kalkan is steeped in history with old Lycian rock tombs, Roman amphitheatres and a sunken city for the discerning historian to explore. Various guide books are available in the apartment as well as a copy of 'The Lycian Way' by Kate Clow which features maps of rural walks around the old Lycian coastline. Must see places include Tlos, Sakklikent Gorge, Kekova (sunken city), Kale (ancient Fort), Pinar and the ruins and amphitheatres at Patara, Letoon and Xanthos. Patara is the birth place of Santa Claus and is currently undergoing excavation work to uncover its well preserved ruins underneath the sand. 
 
Fethiye has a large market on Tuesdays, Kalkan on Thursdays and Kas on Fridays. The nearby town of Kas has a relaxed bohemian feel to it and is definitely worth a trip. 
 
Daily boat trips can be booked each morning from Kalkan or Kas harbour. Longer Gulet tours can be booked through a local travel agent.

Kalkan is a hidden gem in the ancient region of Lycia on the South-West coast of Turkey, known as the Turquoise Coast. It is a charming, sophisticated bougainvillea covered fishing village with traditional Ottoman-style houses nestling in a breathtaking landscape between the Taurus mountains and the azure sea. Once a Greek fishing village called Kalamaki, it maintains its charm to this day with rows of cobbled streets that meander down through the whitewashed Ottoman style buildings to the harbour.

Komurluk, one of the best locations in Kalkan is an exclusive area affording spectacular views of the sea, ‘mouse’ and ‘snake’ islands, the old town and the picturesque harbour. Komurluk has its own chic beach club set into the cliffs below the apartment where you can sunbathe, swim, dine or relax in the bar. Komurluk is a peaceful area, yet only a ten to fifteen minute walk to the centre of town where you can find shops, restaurants, the harbour, local beach, bus station and transport to other beach clubs.
