Kalkan was a Greek fishing village until the population exchange of 1923. Today it's an upscale resort popular with British and European travellers seeking sophistication without the crowds. The old town is a maze of cobbled streets lined with boutique shops, rooftop terrace restaurants, and small art galleries. Kalkan has no large all-inclusive resorts — the accommodation is almost entirely private villas and boutique hotels, making it feel exclusive and intimate.
