Clear and calm waters at Kalkan beach make it the perfect location to go snorkelling and swimming. Toilet and changing facilities are available just behind the beach, and sunbeds/umbrellas can be hired at a very reasonable rate. It is worth noting that the beach has a blue flag award for cleanliness too. There are    harbour front restaurants, shops and cafes all within 2 minutes walk of the beach. Kalkan beach also enjoys late evening sun, and is a lovely place to watch the yachts and gulets returning back to harbour in the early evening.

Spend the day on board a Turkish Gulet visiting the local coves, beaches and islands. An opportunity to snorkel, swim, dive, cover yourself in rejuvenating mud used in Kalkan's spas, or just find one of the sunbathing mattresses on deck. Whether you arrange a private charter for you and your guests or join one of the many trips that leave from Kalkan harbour, this is utter relaxation, and a highlight for many of our guests.
