Merkez: A Simple Cafe Takes A Big Step
KalkanReview Says: Now, as my first review I should introduce myself. I am from the UK, and I go to Kalkan quite alot. This is the 3rd time I have been, and it is going very well.Now, I should get down to the actual review. Merkez is a small cafe down in the town where you can sit and relax,...
The Ivy Terrace: Sadly overrated by others
chrisnsue Says: As many other members have commented, this is an ideally positioned terrace restaurant in Kalkan, from which you can see the bay and harbour (trees permitting). The ambiance is all there, the subdued but adequate lighting, the sultans corner etc - no music as there was...
The Ivy: fantastic pitcure kebab and steaks
helik Says: The Ivy is a fabulous restaurant. I have been there many times over the 2 years they have been opened. The atmosphere, food, hospitality, are wonderful and you really feel as though you are treating yourself whenever you visit. As well as a regular restaurant they also have...
sandysmith Says: Close to Tlos is this trout farm and restaurant. Not only is the fish fresh and delicious the setting with waterways and fountains is cool and refreshing in the summer heat. There is even a bar with trout swimming in it!

dpinner Says: We can't understand all of the good reviews for Doy Doy, we found it very expensive and the service was terrible. Their whole purpose is to get you back again so yes, they are friendly and attentive if you dont tell them that it is your last night and this is where our...
My Fish House: Fantastic cheap seafood
bethepa2 Says: This small fish restaurant is easy to miss. We found it by chance and liked it so much we visited 3 times during our holiday. It is situated on the Kalamar road, on the right hand side about 400m along from the main road, opposite the Moonlight Terrace & Pension. The manager...
The Olive Garden: Don’t expect your reservation to be honoured..
Siobhanoregan Says: We booked the restaurant 5 days in advance for our wedding anniversary dinner. We specifically requested a table by the side with a view of the sea. We were number 2 on the booking list. We arrived and the restaurant was nearly empty and we were shown to an inner table. We...
gmp1 Says: We had coffee here several times during our stay and it was great. The coffee shop itself is quite interesting as the chairs are old and squashy and full of character and there were lots of old knick-knacks on display, and also magazines to read and free internet access.The...
Korsan fish terrace: Creative cooking
gmp1 Says: We ate here twice. They do mostly fish, but also a few meat dishes. We had fish both times and it was very creative and beautifully presented. The view from the roof terrace was beautiful.I wouldn't say we got a warm welcome from the staff but the service was very attentive...
gmp1 Says: We ate here a couple of times and came back on our last night. The service is friendly and the food is excellent. We booked a table on the side of the restaurant nearest the sea and it was funwatching all the comings and goings.We had booked a table one night but couldn't...
gmp1 Says: We ate here three times during our fortnight in Kalkan. The service was second to noneand the food was excellent - my husband loved the Ottaman lamb casserole.The location was lovely too, right by the harbour, although obviously you get a more panoramic view from the...
gmp1 Says: We ate here when we came to Kalkan a few years ago so thought we would go there again this time. The first time the food was excellent and the service very warm and friendly. The second time was not quite as good and the waiters seemed a little distracted (possibly by a...
Tdiver Says: From the new bus station.Buses to Kas and Antalya leave at 07.25,08.25,09.20 and every 20 past upto 18.20To Fethiye 09.00,09.30,10.30,11.30,12.45,14.00,15.00,16.00,17.00,18.00,19.00 and 21.30Kas cost me 3 Ytl one way.New web page is still under construction.
sandysmith Says: Hope nobody ever has to use this tip but should you be unfortunate to have a traffic accident in Turkey on no accounts move the car - it must be left in situ, even if blocking the road, so that the local Jandarma can deal with with it. Not to do so risks invalidating your...
Tdiver Says: Kemal was a great host and the sea just by the hotel is great for starting to learn as there are hundreds of fish,who usually choose to follow you.Below are some pictures from this year. Patara Diving School.All equipment supplied,CMAS courses,discovery dives(excellent for...
sandysmith Says: Some 15mins away in the opposite direction to Patatra is Kaputas - probably the most photographed beach in Turkey. I anticipated going here but as we passed it on our way to Kas it looked much smaller than I expected, there was no shade from the heat and absolutely no...
sandysmith Says: We only got around to one beach club and the one we chose was Palm Beach Club. Reached by a free taxi boat (5 min journey) to the left hand side of the bay of Kalkan is this relaxing spot of paradise. We saw pictures of it at the harbour and the decking and cosy Turkish...
