The 10 Best Tours in Kalkan, Turkish Mediterranean Coast

September 14, 2021 Janette Largent

Kalkan, like its neighbor Kas, is a lovely Turkish beach town. While most travelers spend their time enjoying the sun and sea, history buffs will appreciate Kalkan’s proximity to several ancient Lycian cities. If you’ll be in town for more than a day, consider renting a villa—you’ll love the chance to live like a local in such a beautiful spot.

Captain Ergün and the people working together with him are one of the most attentive tour team I have ever met throughout southern Mediterranean area. To very beginning, just after you are taken to boat, it doesn't take your much time to understand that you are going to be serviced by the people who absolutely enjoy to be there! This already gives the clue about what your trip going to be like! The energy they spread out makes you feel comfortable and relax and the trip keeps going the same way, too. Beside, you meet so so so delicious food, drone records of your memorable time and information about history and soul of Kaş's islands. My overall impression is, I highly recommend Ergün's boats and I can't wait to have another one again the next time! Thanks!

I rented a car 2 months before my trip to Dalaman to make sure everything is settled. I re-confirmed with them 10 days before my trip, and again, 3 days before, because my entire journey depended on me having a car. When i finally landed, i was told that my car was no longer available, because the previous client was not responding. I think it is a silly excuse, because they could have contacted the client prior to make sure he will be honoring his contract. Secondly, during covid, cars should be disinfected in advance, so it is surreal that they didnt know where the car was when i was already landed. I barely got a sorry from them. The only reason i am leaving 3 stars and not 1, is to give them a chance to improve themselves in the future. I know that sometimes things are outside of their control, but still, they should have done better.
