Coast/Beach: The local town beach (pebble) is a 15 minute walk away, with the beautiful Kaputas beach 10 minutes aay by car or local Dolmus. The 15km long sandy Patara beach is 20 minutes away by dolmus or car.Kalkan has six popular beach clubs (several of which are reached by shuttle from the harbour), making it easy to enjoy the sea. These are wonderful paved platform terraces and gardens cut into the bottom of the mountainside, with ladders going into the sea. They offer everything from swimming and sunbathing to water sports and restaurant/bar facilities, with sunbed and umbrellas for hire. The beach clubs across the bay have free water taxi service that you can pick up in the harbour.
Out & About: There are many land activities for those who want to explore the beautiful area around Kalkan. Tours run from Kalkan every day or you can hire your own car. The nearby towns of Fethiye, Kas,and Patara also make good day trips and are easy to reach by bus or dolmus. Kalkan – a small peaceful resort and fishing village with immense charm, has changed little over the years and offers a taste of traditional Turkish life. The narrow cobbled streets wind down through the village of whitewashed houses, shops, and restaurants until the small harbour is reached. More sophisticated than the usual resort town, Kalkan appeals to travellers looking for more than a ‘sun and sea’ holiday. The town itself is full of quality restaurants, bars, boutiques and shops selling hand-made goods. In the evening the local restaurants come alive, and the rooftop terraces provide a perfect setting from which to admire the beautiful scenery. Kalkan by day is fun. The town centre of Kalkan becomes surprisingly empty during the day as guests set off for daytime activities. Popular activities include beach-going, relaxing at beach clubs or swimming pools, water sports, exploring the ancient lands around Kalkan, and boat and gulet trips.
