 | Kalkan is on the south-west coast of Turkey. You can find a location map
here.
|
| This village has been described as the jewel of the Turquoise coast. It is
small enough to retain its inherent charm without lacking the facilities that
modern travellers expect.
|
| Kalkan has escaped the excessive development found on
other parts of the coastline. Although in recent years the area has seen an
increase in the number of villas and hotels, Kalkan is still small and
unspoiled and retains the charm of a working harbour town, with the local
population living a simple way of life.
|
| Fishermen depart at dawn to bring in their daily catch
for the harbour front restaurants, locals sit in the cafés sipping tea and
playing backgammon and the haunting call to prayer rings out from the mosque
five times a day.
|
| Although traditional in many ways, you will find
English is widely spoken and there is nothing the locals like better than to
practice theirs with you over a glass of chai (tea).
|
| The village has plenty of restaurants and cafés to suit
all tastes and pockets and friendly bars to enjoy a leisurely drink with your
friends and the locals.
