I'm just about to go to Kalkan on our summer holiday. I'm really looking forward to Turkish food and everything this place has to offer. However, my partner is already worried about all the football he'll miss during these 2 weeks.
Do you know of anywhere in Kalkan showing live games?

Many thanks

I visited Kalkan back in 2002 and bought a kaftan/cover-up?? from Yousuf the Tailor in a little side street in Kalkan. I would love to find out if it is possible to buy from him again of if he is still there? I really enjoy relaxing in my kaftan but it is getting a little past its wearable date.. I would appreciate any help in locating this tailor. Many thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I suppose this is a general Turkey question but I've posted it here since my holiday will be in Kalkan in Sep 08. Is it better the exchange British pounds in Turkey than in UK? I heard you get a better deal if you exchange in Turkey, if that's the case, where's the best place to do this?

Cheers,

Emma

Hi Everyone,

I am a new member and have read through most of the responses and they are all very helpful. Most of the information I've found has come from this website.

I am going to Kalkan and flying into Dalaman first. What is the best way to get to Kalkan? Drive or private airport transfer? Would it be better to rent a car for our whole stay in Kalkan (5days). We hope to visit Kas, Kekova, the Gorge etc. I believe there are buses, dolumuses but I'm just worried that they don't run too frequently. On the other hand, not sure how the driving/parking is and especially the 2h transit time from the airport to Kalkan. Any suggestions would be helpful. Please advise and thanks for your help! Happy Travels!

hi myself and partner will be visitng kalkan for 2 weeks from the 9th may,
we have looked at some sights showing sun bathing ledges can someone explain if we can use them, and where are they?
many thanks
p.s can you give us some information regarding eating places at reasonably places, and also some music bars.

First of all, I am very impressed by all the helpful hints about Kalkan posted on this site.
Hopefully, you'll have some insight for me...

We (my fiance and I) are planning to honeymoon in Kalkan in April/May of 2008, and we're planning to fly into and depart from Istanbul. What's the best (cheapest, quickest, or most enjoyable) way to travel from Istanbul to Kalkan and from Kalkan to Istanbul?

Hello, can anyone help me?

Next month I will be coming to Kalkan for the second time this year. But I wanted to travel to Alanya for a few days, I assume it takes about 6 hours.

But how much would it be? would i need to change bus in Antalya??

Thanks, any help would be most appreciated!

Hello, does anyone know whether you can do organised catamaran classes in Kalkan? Me and a friend would like to do a week's course, but I cannot find out any info. If not, Kalkan, can you suggest anywhere else for Catamaran classes in Turkey? Thanks
