Kalkan DINING: waterfront restaurants
Waterfront dining in Kalkan
Kalkan's harbour has a particular evening charm: gulets coming in, fishermen unloading the day's catch, and tables set close enough to the water to feel part of it. Waterfront dining here is less about formality and more about a front-row seat to the bay as the light drops behind the mountains.
Below is a small selection of well-known harbour and waterfront restaurants, each with its own take on a Kalkan evening.
Details can change between seasons, including opening hours, menus and service options. Information is shared in good faith and is best treated as a guide.
