Kalkan Greek:
Kalamaki) is a town on the Turkish
Mediterranean coast, which averages
of 300 days of sunshine a year. The
area includes many historical sites
and many fine beaches. The word
Kalkan is Turkish for 'shield'.
Kalkan is an old fishing town, and
the only safe harbour between Kaş
and Fethiye; famous for its
white-washed houses, descending to
the sea, and its brightly coloured
bougainvilleas.
Until the early 1920s the majority
of its inhabitants were Greeks. They
had to leave the town in 1923
because of the Exchange of
populations between Greece and
Turkey after the Greco-Turkish War.
They emigrated mainly to Attica,
where they founded the new town of
Kalamaki. With much of the
surrounding land still undeveloped
and with many nearby remains of
ancient civilizations, Kalkan is the
ideal resort for those who want calm
and relaxation, enjoy the natural
beauty of the cleanest seashores, of
rough mountains covered with pine
forests, and also for those who want
to explore the remains of the
ancient Lycian cities in the
neighbourhood. Although part of the
Antalya province administratively,
Kalkan is connected more closely to
Fethiye economically and for
transportation.
British newspaper The Independent
listed Kalkan among the best tourist
destinations for 2007. The paper
recommended Kalkan especially for
those seeking a romantic vacation
and who do not want to travel far
from their home country in Europe,
and defined the town as a
destination of choice.
