Kalkan, said to be one of the most enchanting and beautiful locations in Turkey, is an old fishing town and is famous for all of
the white-washed houses that descend into the sea and giving at least 300 days of sunshine each year and it is also the one place in all of Turkey to fall in love with.
The city is a beautiful harbour town and acted as the only seaport for the environs until the 1970's, when it declined with the construction of a road between Kalkan and
Fethiye but has since revived after the tourism industry boomed.

will prepare a barbecue on a distant shore as well, and a member of the crew will also make your special trip all the more better by catching you a fresh fish.
