Villas in Kalkan
Kalkan suits families and groups who want a private-pool villa near a small harbour town with dozens of restaurants. Nearly all homes here have a pool, and many sleep six or more. The trade-off is the sea: local beaches are narrow shingle, with sand at Kaputaş and Patara.

About Kalkan
Kalkan is an old fishing town of under four thousand people, now a neighbourhood of Kaş municipality in Antalya Province. It was Kalamaki until the 1920s, home to a large Greek Christian community, and it is the only safe harbour between Kaş and Fethiye. The Koca Mustafa Mosque beside the marina was built in 1855 as a Greek Orthodox church. Dozens of restaurants line the streets up from the marina. Our villas are scattered across the hillsides around the town, so distance to the centre varies. Nearly all have a pool and air conditioning, and the local beaches are narrow shingle.

- Best for
- Families and groups wanting a pool villa near a harbour town

Dalaman is the airport, to the west along the D400; the drive of about 125 km takes roughly 90 minutes to two hours, including a toll tunnel. Kaş has no airport. The village itself is walkable, but car hire is recommended for exploring further; dolmuş minibuses run to Demre, Finike and Antalya.
When to go to Kalkan
Kalkan averages about 300 days of sunshine a year, so sun is rarely the question. Flights are the constraint: Dalaman's package flights from the UK and Europe are seasonal, so check dates before booking shoulder-season weeks. The harbour town is walkable whenever you go, and Kaputaş and Patara are the places for a proper beach day.

Kalkan villa holidays: questions answered
Is the beach in Kalkan sand or pebble?
Pebble. Kalkan's own beaches are narrow and shingle, and the main public beach lies southeast of the marina. For sand, head to Patara Beach, about 20 km west, or Kaputaş, a small cove on the coast road towards Kaş.
Kalkan or Kaş?
Kalkan is the smaller of the two, a harbour town of under four thousand people, while Kaş is a district town of about nine thousand with a daily ferry to Kastellorizo. Kekova is a common excursion from Kaş.
Is Kalkan walkable?
The village centre is, yes: dozens of restaurants line the streets up from the marina, and shops on Şehitler Caddesi open daily from 08:00 until late. Villas on the hillsides vary in distance from it, and car hire is recommended for exploring further.
Can you visit Greece from Kalkan?
Not directly. Kalkan is not a port of entry, so boats from the Greek islands must clear at Fethiye, Kaş or Finike. Kaş has a daily Turkish ferry to Kastellorizo, and same-day returns are possible.
Was Kalkan always Turkish?
Kalkan was called Kalamaki and had a large Greek Christian community until the 1920s. The Greeks left in 1923 during the population exchange, and the Koca Mustafa Mosque by the marina was built in 1855 as a Greek Orthodox church.
