	Regional Information

	A small peaceful Mediterranean resort and fishing town on the beautiful Turquoise Coast of Turkey, Kalkan has not been touched by mass tourism. More sophisticated than the usual resort town, Kalkan appeals to travelers looking for more than a "sun and sea" holiday. 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 an ancient harbour sheltered at the foot of the towering Taurus Mountains. The town overlooks a beautiful bay in which islands seem to magically float upon the shimmering sea. Narrow streets twist down to the harbour through the historic town and are lined with listed whitewashed villas with shuttered windows situated alongside small local specialty shops and restaurants. Overhead hang original ornately carved Ottoman timber balconies garlanded with brilliantly coloured bougainvillea cascading to the streets below. It is a very special place. Why Kalkan is so special Not only is Kalkan beautiful, but unlike other Turkish coastal resort towns Kalkan's main economy is tourism and therefore its citizens put much pride and effort into the town's historic preservation. Because of this, Kalkan has retained the texture of its history with its distinctive Greek architecture (it was once a Greek and Turkish fishing village). Very strict building codes keep the town small and architecturally blended with the historic heart of the town known as "Old Kalkan". Besides the famous "Kalkan Style" historic architecture, the many excellent restaurants of Kalkan contribute to the special atmosphere within Kalkan. Good dining has always been the way of life in Kalkan and continues today. In fact, Kalkan is said to have the highest number of restaurants and bars per inhabitant or square meter on the Turkish coast. Additionally, Kalkan is especially renowned in Turkey for its numerous roof terrace restaurants and bars which offer a wonderful view of the town, sea and stars. You can also sit at one of the many fine harbour-side restaurants and watch the fishermen leave early in the morning as you eat breakfast, or see them return with the day's catch in the evening.


	Information specific to the town/village

	The fact that Kalkan has not yet been discovered by hordes of package tourists gives it a sort of exclusivity. Opposite Kalkan in the picturesque bay, Club Patara and Patara Prince offer added exclusivity of a different kind. When the complex was built eight years ago it attracted architectural interest worldwide - and no wonder. As you enter, you immediately notice the extensive use of the local stone and design sympathetic to the shape of the land sometimes going so far as to build around natural rock features. In addition some design echoes local antiquities, the most ambitious of which is a replica of the first century AD Roman triumphal arch that stands in Patara itself some kilometres down the road to the west. Club Patara is ambitiously styled on a Roman town. Walking through the stone arches to the marble- floored Agora built around a fountain is like stepping back in time, but the strange mix of traditional Turkish, reproduction Roman and openly modern works surprisingly, well and belies Club Patara's actual modernity, giving the place a feel as old as the rocks themselves. But it's not only a case of good looks. Club Patara have got the luxury element so perfectly sown up that representatives of the tourist trade flock from all over the world, anxious to see how it's done. This was the vision of one of Turkey's top architects, who sought to combine aesthetic value with practicality. The design is attractive, but throughout it makes the most of the hillside setting, providing little nooks of cool shade and spreading platforms on which to toast yourself in the sun. The platforms are scattered along the water's edge, close to where the scheduled water taxi to Kalkan shuttles back and forth. Here also is the watersports center, which includes a diving school. In addition there are facilities for water skiing, banana rides, windsurfing, fishing and sailing. Also close to the jetties - but discreetly away - from the hotels and villas - is the Apollonia night club, where, if you have not exhausted yourself with the day's activities, you can dance and drink till the small hours. There are four swimming pools within Club Patara. The indoor pool and jacuzzi forms part of the fitness center, which also has a gymnasium, sauna, Turkish bath and massage facility. The larger outdoor pool is for the whole family, the circular outdoor pool with its splendid cascading waterfall feature, is for adults only. The fourth pool situated near the tennis courts and features a skimming water slide. There is also a supervised club for children aged between four and ten years, to help channel that youthful activity which even Mediterranean sun cannot sap. Meanwhile the grown ups get on with some serious peace and quiet. Close to the swimming pools are the main a la carte restaurant and the Patara bar, while around the Agora are the Agora Bar and restaurant, as well as the Bezirgan Turkish Restaurant. For truly fine Turkish dining, the a la carte restaurant provides a wonderful open air section close to the water's edge beneath a charming thatched roof. Seafood is the barbecue speciality here. The Bezirgan is the al fresco restaurant serving international and Turkish cuisine from a tempting open buffet. If you have a taste for pizza and pasta the Italian restaurant offers an excellent selection. You can dine on the Agora or inside in a air-conditioned comfort. At lunchtimes there is also a poolside barbecue serving delicious charcoal-grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, while in the evening you can enjoy live music in the piano bar close to the adult swimming pool. With a bakery on site, you can choose from a selection of delicious frech loaves, roll and croisants served at breakfast. The Patara Prince is a truly remarkable place, a holiday destination in its own right, more a town than a hotel, a community which gives you the freedom to socialise or to shut yourself away.
