Kalkan Holidays - Great for Families
Fancy a relaxing and quiet time on your Turkey holidays? Kalkan is a lovely, small town that offers some genuine peace and quiet of an order you won’t find in the main resort areas. If activity is your thing there’s canoeing, diving, or boat trips. You can even go away for a night or two on a local boat on a sort of ‘mini cruise’. Yes, it’s a Gulet we’re talking about, you know we’re keen on them at Beat the brochure, and rightly so. The Gulet crews are traditionally great cooks. You’ll sit looking dreamily into the crystal clear waters while the crew work away. There’s nothing for you to worry about, just an array of tropical fish teaming round the boat to be mesmerised by. As we said earlier, don’t get too attached to them though, you’re being served most of them for lunch in 10 minutes. Cheap package holidays to Kalkan are available throughout the year.

Kalkan surrounds its ancient harbour and is positioned at the foot of the massive Taurus Mountain range. Narrow streets lead through the historic town to the harbour, and are lined with whitewashed villas and local shops. There are Ottoman timber balconies still standing, but now covered with colourful bougainvillea that’s grown all the way down to the streets below. Traditional life is still going on here for many of the locals, who continue to spend summer in the mountains and winter on the coast. St Nicholas – Father Christmas to you and I, was born in Patara, no really, he was. Patara is next to Kalkan and St Nicholas was a Bishop up the road as well. How he made it to the North Pole we don’t know. Kalkan holidays offer something for everyone.
