Kalkan

"The place where the stars appear closest to the earth," says Herodotus

"The place where the stars appear closest to the earth," says Herodotus, for Kalkan. The famous historian said the word that best expresses the paradise standing next to us. With its lush nature and the sea where we can see every shade of blue, Kalkan is as if it was created with the touch of a magic wand. Kalkan, formerly known as Kalamaki, was a Greek fishing village. Kalkan central mosque, which is the most beautiful example of Greek history, was used as a church in previous periods. It is said that Kalkan, which has hosted many civilizations from the Hittites to the Lydians, from the Romans to the Ottomans, was founded 200 years ago by sea traders from the island of Meis. This region, which remained untouched due to the difficulty of road transportation in the past, is breathtaking with its natural beauties. You can also encounter the Caretta Carettas, which are under protection in Kalkan, where you will feel the breezes of the Mediterranean architecture while walking on its narrow streets.
