Kalkan Holiday Apartment: Vicinity
Tucked away on the South West "turqouise" coast of Turkey, Kalkan is around one and a half hours drive from Dalaman Airport.
Kalkan has the highest number of restaurants and bars per inhabitant or per square metre on the Turkish coast. Almost every building has its roof or terrace, the bars serving all kinds of international drinks or cocktails.
The delights of Kalkan are really too numerous to detail fully on this site so we would direct you to this site (click image to right) to find out much more about this wonderful old town.
After a 'Sundowner' you will find a table in one of the 40 or so restaurants of Kalkan. It would be wise to make a reservation for a front row table. Most of the restaurants offer an open buffet with a great choice of starters followed by fish or grilled meat Turkish style.
For more conservative tastes, international cuisine is also available. Prices are displayed at the entrance except for fish, which is subject to bargaining. The Turkish way of dining is to begin with a selection from ten or more cold starters plus two or three hot ones which will be followed by a main course (accompanied by raki, wine or beer) and ending with fruit or dessert and famous Turkish coffee. The meal usually stretches for hours and will finish close to midnight.
Finally you may walk through the animated cobbled streets and stop to sip a 'last one' before returning to your apartment after a lovely long day.
