To the east of Kalkan  see map

Kas is 'a must' to visit - if only for the stunning drive round the coast at sea level - just forty minutes from Kalkan by car, taxi or dolmus. Old cobbled streets with over-hanging balconies and lots of lovely shops to browse, a bustling yacht harbour, its own small Roman theatre and well-photographed Lycian sarcophagus. At the nearby Limangazi beach, full water sports, a diving centre and paragliding from the clifftops. Also, daily boat trips to the sunken city of Kekova , and to the Greek island of Kastellorizo (Meis in Turkish).

Drive inland to the trout farms of Islamlar for lunch, and the plain of Bezirgan. Driving slowly round the twisty lanes will take you back to a farming style almost of Thomas Hardy times, or you can organise horse-riding treks around the area.

Antalya

Myra - an easily visited site with theatre and tombs

Arykanda - a 'hidden' hillside city with breathtaking views:
ruins of the old city baths, gymnasium, acropolis and basilica.

Antalya - the old city with its floodlit walls and harbour sit
beside the international boutiques of this larger town, (which is
an alternative airport access for off-season flights to the area).

Further round the coast (think to stay overnight to visit) are Aspendos with the best preserved theatre in Asia Minor , which in June/July each year houses the Aspendos Opera and Ballet Festival, Perge and Side, great seaside sites with well preserved and easily visited ruins.

Further afield, and definitely a several day excursion, one can reach Ephesus
and Priene , the hot salt springs of Pamukkale , the moonlike scape of Cappadocia - or you might think of coming to Kalkan via a stop-over in Istanbul.
