Kalkan is a picturesque coastal town, known for its breathtaking sea views, charming old town, and luxury accommodations. For visitors looking for exclusivity, one of our hand picked luxury villas in Kalkan provides the perfect base to experience the region’s blend of relaxation, culture, and adventure. With its elegant waterfront, upmarket restaurants, and family-friendly villas, Kalkan is an idyllic retreat for couples, families, and groups looking for a stylish Mediterranean escape.
The harbour is full of small fishing boats and the promenade is lined with seafood restaurants and chic bars. The Old Town is full of traditional whitewashed houses framed with bright cascading bougainvillea as well as boutiques, small restaurants and local shops. The main beach in Kalkan is just east of the harbour. Plenty of sun loungers are available on the small pebbly shoreline. Many beach clubs are also dotted along the harbour and are accessible by small boats provided by each establishment. Traditional wooden boats, called Gulets, will also take visitors to the beaches, islands and inlets nearby.
Staying in a private villa means that you can enjoy complete privacy while being close to the beaches, historic sites, and scenic boat trips. Spend your days unwinding by your private pool, or explore the stunning coastline with visits to the famous Kaputaş Beach and Patara Beach, both offering crystal-clear waters and golden sands. For history lovers, the nearby ancient ruins of Xanthos, Letoon, and Patara provide a fascinating glimpse into Lycian civilisation.
Kalkan is also known for its excellent dining scene, with a selection of rooftop restaurants and seafront eateries offering gourmet Turkish and international cuisine. After a day of sunbathing or exploring, enjoy an al fresco dinner overlooking the harbour, or take a private sunset yacht cruise for a romantic evening.
A boat tour is one of the best ways to experience Kalkan’s secluded bays, hidden caves, and stunning coastline. Yachts can be chartered as well as traditional wooden boats called Gulets. We recommend visiting the Blue Cave and Green Lagoon or Kekova Island and the Sunken City.
