    We had a great trip to Xanthos. Reasonably priced and great fun to walk around. There are some adorable and friendly dogs on site too. It would have been nice if there were a few more information signs saying what they think things used to be, but otherwise definitely worth the trip!

    This is an update from a year ago.
    We were critical about the food, but this year it was brilliant. We only ate salads, but in salads one can taste if the restaurant cares about freshness, taste and variety of ingredients. Bravo!
    Toilets are still a bit crappy, but all the rest is wonderful.
    Hooray!

    Nice beach club with sea trampoline and swimming platform! Kayak is free also! Friendly staff and great restaurant with lovely salads and great cheesy chips! Enjoyed a couple of days here for a change of scene from the hotel pool and enjoyed both! If you are looking for a relaxing day by the sea would recommend!

    We came for a last minute dinner, it's the start of season so we didn't need to book.
    Helpful staff found us a seat beside the sea, beautiful setting.
    Albeit a bit dark. The ambience is spoiled when you have to get your phone torch out to read the menu, see the food and pay the bill. I would suggest stronger table lighting. The table next to us had their phone torch on the entire meal.

    Food was ok, octopus starter was small and over cooked but the mains were nice, seafood linguine and prawn risotto.

    Located right beside the harbour, not far from cafes and restaurants. Did not rent a lounger or umbrella as it always seemed quite busy. There are not facilities to change, there is a bathroom nearby but there's a guy there charging you to use them 5lr? If you walk past the beach, towards the hill there are various spots where you can step down onto smaller pebbles areas to access the sea.

    Lovely, friendly, well run beach club, where you are greeted off the boat by Hamish and served the most delicious food and drink by the rest of the team. Hamish even rescued my ring from the sea. Highly recommend as it meets all criteria.

    We visited Zest twice during our stay in Kalkan, once driving to the beach club and the second taking the boat from the harbour. Keep an eye out if you take the boat as we had a turtle swim right by our boat!

    On arrival you get your tab for the day and some of the comfiest loungers I’ve relaxed on! There isn’t a huge amount to do and very low key - just swimming pool, sea and a brilliant bar and restaurant so if your kids are small bring some things to entertain.

    The food is great and we had 2 lovely lunches - second visit we had a couple of glasses of wine, beware they double up the serving size fo the 220tl wine was actually 440 tl when the bill came.

    I’d imagine in the high season it’s a very different feel but for last week of the season was quiet, chilled out and just the occasional noise from the jet skis you can book from the bar area.

    Would definately recommend, is 400tl per lounger (you all need one) and then food and drink on top. For a family of 4 with a couple of drinks each we spent around £120 for the full day there. Expensive for Turkey but a lovely day out.

    We loved it there. The swimming is great, food good, sun beds comfy and staff pleasant. Our only problem was getting down the stone steps from the sunbathing platform to the steps into the sea. The steps into the sea are fine but the others have no handrail and being elderly and a bit unsteady on our feet we found it difficult and so we only went once last year sadly. If that has changed we’ll be back like a shot as we think it’s one of the nicer beach clubs.

    3rd time to kalkan, approximately my 5th time to Atlantis Turkish Baths and Spa. I highly recommend. The owner is always on site whenever we visit and takes great pride in his business. I've always had fantastic treatments here, including the bath itself and the massage afterwards (with both male and female masseurs). My husband and two children (currently aged 14 and 10) also come with me and really enjoy their Turkish baths too.

    I was sorry to read a report of a not so positive experience here and can only say that I have only ever encountered complete professionalism at this place, including on our most recent visit in October 2024, which is why I will carry on heartily recommending Atlantis and making a return visit my priority on any future trips to Kalkan!

    A few miles outside Kalkan, up in the hills is the beautiful village of Berzigan. Located on a flat plain, the village mosque is the focal point of the village.
    Surrounded by blossoming trees & bathed in the sunlight of a gorgeous February day, the picture was idyllic. Birds singing & bees feeding off the blossom of the almond trees, what a place to be. Well worth the trip from Kalkan.

    Not often are positive stories shared but I feel this one should be. I first met Jafer around 8 years ago when the ATM wasn’t working and without hesitation or knowing me he loaned around £200 to pay back at my convenience. A close friendship was formed and I moved to Kalkan just 2 years later.

    For the last 6 years Jafer and Sahin have been absolutely amazing to my family and I. They’ve always been on hand to offer support by taking us to hospital appointments, loaning cars, helping with any general difficulties, offering advice and being just a phone call away.

    I have of course bought many beautiful items of Jewellery and Diamonds from Wishes & Co, who’s craftsmanship and quality have always been top tier and fantastic value. This close bond has led to other business ventures and investments being pursued together such as property and gold deals etc.

    I’m sure like many, I’m not the only one who has also spent hours sat outside the shop, enjoying friendly banter and drinks from the fridge on a hot day!

    Recently Jafer and Sahin become part of our family, becoming god fathers to my daughter. I cannot praise them enough and would recommend them without hesitation for anything, not just their stunning Jewellery.
