About Kalkan
Kalkan is a traditional Turkish
harbour town which, although having seen growth in recent years, still
maintains its distinct personality and charm. Kalkan sits in between the
beautiful bay and the Taurus mountains with tranquil villages and
trout farms which can provide some relief from the heat in the
height of the summer.
Kalkan is brimming with cafes, shops and rooftop restaurants.
All situated on narrow streets leading down to the marina.
There are plenty of opportunities to browse local arts and crafts,
pottery, textiles, jewellery, clothing and leather goods. For the men, if they
need a break from shopping, can take their chances with a highly
skilled barber and his cut throat razor!
Of course
Spa's abound, specializing in traditional Turkish baths, massage and
facial treatments. These are all available to you through the many
fabulous boutique hotels and independent salons.
There are a
vast range of high quality, very reasonably priced restaurants with
unbeatable views of the bay. Some of my favourites...
Kaya for the friendliest service and amazing magic
tricks!
Coast with its spectacular food and views to
match. Gironda for a very special treat. Aubergine,
for glorious food and waterside dining. The Ottaman House
for excellent traditional Turkish cuisine served in a
traditional setting, Daphnes is a delight, Doy Doy, Jasmine, Marina... all very good.
Merkez for great quality casual dining at great prices. |
