Property for sale in Kalkan, Turkey

A small peaceful Mediterranean resort and fishing town on the beautiful Turqiose Coast of Turkey, Kalkan has not been touched by mass tourism. More sophisticated than the usual resort town, Kalkan appeals to travelers looking for more than a "sun and sea" holiday.

Because of its great charm, Kalkan has a growing number of perennial visitors who say the town is the only holiday destination they would choose to visit repeatedly. There is simply no other town quite like Kalkan along Turkey's coast.

Kalkan curls snuggly around an ancient harbour sheltered at the foot of the otwering Taurus mountains. The town overlooks a beautiful bay in which islands seem to magically float upon the shimmering sea., Narrow streets twist down to the harbour through the historis town and are lined with listed whitewashed villas with shuttered windows situated alongside small local speciality shops and restaurants. Overhead hang original ornately carved coloured bougainvillia cascagin to the streets below.

Not only is Kalkan beautiful, but unlike other Turkish coastal resort towns Kalkan's main economy is tourism and therefore its citizens put much pride and effort into the town's historic preservation. Because of this, Kalkan has retained the texture of its history with its distinctive greek architecture (it was once a Greek and Turkish fishing village). Very strict building codes keep the town small and architecturally blended with the historic heart of the town known as "Old KalKan".
