Wherever you go in Kalkan, you’ll be greeted with a traditional Turkish welcome. Wander the old town’s streets and you will surely be offered a glass of tea, but unlike most tourist destinations, you won’t feel obligated to purchase something. It is simply the sheer pleasantness of the town.

Once a Greek fishing village, Kalkan has evolved into so much more while still retaining its charm. The unusually high number of roof-terraced restaurants stretch the coast offering excellent food with a view of deep blue water and green surrounding hills. Its picturesque appeal is what drives its recurrent visitors year after year.

With an average of 300 sun-soaked days a year, lovely pebbled beaches, mountains and hills, historic sites and natural wonders, the emerald beauty of Green Lake, and the traditional Ottoman town Elmali, it’s no wonder why there is such a big attraction.

Kalkan offers a pleasant climate throughout the year. April to October features warm, sunny weather, ideal for enjoying the beautiful beaches, exploring the charming town, and engaging in outdoor activities such as boating and hiking. This period is perfect for taking advantage of the clear waters, vibrant local markets, and outdoor dining.

November to March brings cooler temperatures and occasional rain showers. Although the weather is milder, it's still comfortable for exploring the historic sites, enjoying the scenic views, and experiencing the local culture at a more relaxed pace. This quieter season provides a serene environment for discovering Kalkan’s attractions and enjoying its tranquil atmosphere.
