Things To Do

 Kalkan is known for its proximity to a great number of ancient Lycian sites. These make excellent day trips and many Kalkan tour agencies run trips to them or hire your own car. Around twenty major sites remain today with a vast amount of unusual funerary architecture (for which Lycia is famous) dotting the mountains and valleys surrounding Kalkan.

​

Water sports are available on the beach including paddle boarding and jet skiing. The Blue Flag beach along Kalkan’s turquoise coast offers excellent conditions for some snorkelling. When you’re ready for a break from all the excitement, head towards the promenade for a bite to eat in a café or enjoy a few refreshing drinks in a beach bar.

Pamukkale-Ephesus

Pamukkale is an extraordinary natural wonder. The calceus waters rise from the ground at a temperature of 35C and tumble down the mountain from a height of 100 metres, forming a myriad of pools. Also worth a visit is the ancient ruins of the City of Hierapolis with its basilica, theatre, Roman Bath and Necropolis.
