Sat, 04 Aug 2007 08:45:00 +0300 History and Architecture of Kalkan Kalkan does not seem to have been a place of settlement in antiquity (then known as Phoenicus), though it was the place of the only safe harbour between Kaş and Fethiye and would have offered safety to ships during rough weather. Indeed, a fierce battle was once fought in the bay after Roman and Rhodian ships, unable to attack the neighbouring Lycian port of Patara due to bad weather, found short-lived safety in Kalkan's bay. Read about the battle here. Today's ships still find safe harbour in Kalkan when the seas are rough. The Lycian coast was famous for its piracy and Kalkan bay no doubt provided a convenient hiding place for pirates to suddenly pounce upon the many heavily-laden merchant ships sailing by.

According to the Sunday Times, Kalkan attracts the kind of visitor who would also enjoy Tuscany or the Dordogne. The Guardian likens the town to "the Italian Riviera minus the poseurs." Because of its great charm, Kalkan has a growing number of perennial visitors who say the town is the only holiday destination they would choose to visit repeatedly. There is simply no other town quite like Kalkan along Turkey's coast. Kalkan curls snuggly around a historic harbour sheltered at the foot of the towering Taurus Mountains.

Narrow streets twist down to the harbour, li.. ( devamı ) Kalkan'a nasıl giderim diyorsanız işte size haritalı yol tarifi !
