Want to get away to the Mediterranean
for a few days, a week or two of perfect
"unwind?" Kalkan is a great
place for that. Although it has several
small boutique hotels, it has a major
supply of charming villas for
rent,
set amidst fruit trees and fragrant
blossoms.
Kalkan is just off
the Lycian
Way, the
well marked 500km-long hiking trail
that connect
ancient sites by following old village
paths, bringing walkers into contact
with a traditional Turkish way of life
that lingers in the mountains despite
the proximity of coastal tourist
areas.
Kalkan beach is accessible
from most villas, and Patara,
Turkey's longest beach, 20km of sand
and dunes, is just a 15-minute drive.
