How to get here

Kalkan is a town in Mediterranean Turkey. It is an enchanting, historic town and one of the most beautiful locations along Turkey's gorgeous Lycian Coast. There is an absence of mass tourism, and it remains a charming and unspoiled haven with brilliant blue crystal-clear sea, historic architecture, ancient history and warm traditional Turkish hospitality.

By air

The nearest airport is Dalaman (DLM). Dalaman airport is the closest at about 1hr 30mins by taxi from Kalkan. As the villa is outside the town, car hire is essential.
This can be arranged on request as can airport transfers. Please ask for a map to the villa and advice on suitable arrangements. As there are numerous airlines operating to Dalaman and fares vary considerably, it is well worth getting your agent, or using the Internet, to find the best options.
