Kalkan’s Old Town Quarter

This location has a very unique charm and is close to Kalkan’s attractive pebble beach and the harbour area, with its numerous waterside restaurants.

The narrow streets of the old town are lined with whitewashed shuttered buildings, festooned with brightly coloured bougainvillea flowers intermingled with shops and terrace-topped restaurants. These cobbled streets twist down to the harbour, which is the focus of the town, where you can enjoy a meal whilst watching the world, and elegant ‘gulets’, go by. The gulets are available for private charter for a very relaxing day at sea.

You can also take advantage of the water taxis that will transport you to various beach clubs situated around the bay. The popular Indigo Beach Club can be found right next to the harbour (water-sports operate from this particular beach club too).
