Kalkan dining: Traditional Turkish restaurants
Traditional restaurants in Kalkan
For a true taste of Turkish cooking in Kalkan, look for the places that lean into tradition: Ottoman-style cushioned seating, family-run kitchens, and terraces where the town's evening light does most of the work.
Turkish cuisine draws on Ottoman, Mediterranean, Balkan and Middle Eastern influences, which is why menus often balance fish, olive oil dishes and grilled meats with soups, meze, stews and sweet finales such as baklava.
Details can change between seasons, including opening hours and music nights. Information is shared in good faith and is best treated as a guide.
