Hello all!

Beginning to plan our Kalkan holiday this year (in scorchio August) and we'll be travelling with some Kalkan virgins this year so want to have plenty of lovely things planned!

My question is what is everyone's favourite trip/day out while they are in Kalkan? Unfortunately boat trips have been excluded by a sea-sick-prone friend but we're open to everything else

Really does depend what you are looking for, if you like a bit of action then Saklikent or Jeep Safari. A beach?....take your pick Patara or Kaputas (both beautiful although more facilities at Patara). If its archeological sites...you're in luck as there are so many good ones in close proximity. As its August, a day up in Islamlar might be an idea - wonderful restaurants and slightly cooler. Or a town..? Fethiye?
If you hire a car, you could probably do Saklikent early doors, Tlos, Xanthos, and Patara for late afternoon and sunset...

Have to be a Jeep safari for me ...smaller jeep rather than a big crammed with sweaty bodies jeep

Thanks for your replies! Saklikent will be a must I think and Patara is always a nice day out too. Jeep Safari I haven't tried before so will have to look into that!

Keno a is a lovely day trip and Meiss is different too.

Must read before I post meant Kekova.

Love both of those Joycie but SarahS mentions one of their party is prone to sea sickness....might also be an issue on the jeep safari if its motion sickness not just something that occurs at sea

joycie · « **Reply #7 on:** April 20, 2015, 02:24:08 PM »

Sorry yes Bri also suffers sea sickness including up his own snorkel don't go there but never suffered on journey to Meiss or at Kekova.

We've done most of the day trips over the years. I would recommend the barbecue trip arranged by Kaya restaurant. I think they go twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday.
A really fun day with excellent food. The swimming pool will really cool you down.

The boys at Kaya Restaurant to a good day trip to their family farm out near Berzigan...we've done it on our own & with a large crowd of friends, good fun. Small coach trip through countryside, then lovely BBQ at the farm where they have a pool, do rifle shooting etc. great day!

Ha ha Tatilde great minds, you post came up as I posted mine!

SarahS, I think most have been mentioned, but a trip to the Beach Club is a fab day out, Kalamar Beach Club do a free taxi service, and I think Kalkan Beach Club do too if you don't want to get the boat across, although it only takes 10 minutes. Whatever you end up doing, I am sure you will all have a wonderful time. Enjoy and do keep us posted

Snap Kuzu! We arrived in Kalkan this afternoon. We have friends joining us in July and will do the Kaya trip then, although we will probably go before then. A great day.

A walk from the bedroom to the sun lounger, passing the EFES fridge along the way of course , Well it is at least 10 meters so I am getting some exercise along the way. This kalkan lifestyle will be the end of me for sure. That said, every time I visit the doctors with heart palpitation's and heavy sweats my doctor tells me I am suffering from kalkan withdrawal symptoms and must return ASAP. The prescription is for lots of doing nothing by the pool with lots of EFES to be taken at least twice yearly. One must not disobey the doctor of course

Another vote for Saklikent to include lunch at the Yakapark. Kaputas or Patara beach are both lovely in different ways and easily reachable.

kalkan beach club is nice, but not really a 'day out'. I really recommend the boat trips but it does depend on the seasick ness sufferer. I suffer too but have had no problems at all even when it was really windy. You probably spend less than an hour and a half on the move all day!

SarahS · « **Reply #16 on:** April 20, 2015, 08:28:22 PM »

Thank you for all the great replies!

Saklikent is a favourite so we'll definitely be doing that. I've heard about the Kaya trip too so will be sure to look into that.

All else fails I shall stick with BrianJP's advice!!

I concur with most, though Jeep Safaris do leave me wishing I was somewhere else!

Best trip? The one to the sun lounger adjacent to the pool and bar.

Or into town for the restaurants.

Or to Adem's...

Or, most importantly, the one from UK to Kalkan - that's definitely the best day trip I can think of!
