I recently went on holiday in Turkey, to a small port town called Kalkan, having never been to Turkey before we had decided to look for somewhere tranquil and picturesque and Kalkan did not disappoint.
The setting of the beautiful town was perfect, our accommodation was just across from the main town of the horseshoe shaped bay. This meant that the town was easily accessible by water taxi or by a slightly longer way round by car.
The many pretty little streets in the town housed little cafés and roof top terrace restaurants as well as small local shops selling gifts and local produce.
The local people were so welcoming and friendly that we immediately felt relaxed and ready to enjoy the holiday. However I wish we’d know to pack some walking shoes as the way Kalkan is built into the hillside means there are lots and lots of steps and a fair bit of walking involved to get around.
But all in all an amazing place that is relaxing and picturesque.
