Trip to Kalkan

[Rayza]

When we're out in August we are thinking of having a day trip to Kalkan. We want to go by public transport, prefer it that way, rather than a tour company. So just how easy is is it to get to Kalkan from Fethiye and is there a direct bus from the Otogar? Many thanks Rayza

Yes there are direct buses, Bati Antalya, tel 0252 612 9661 is the company that run the service & leaving on the half hour from 07:30. You'd need to enquire for return times, but pretty much the same frequency

Hi, I did this trip about 2 years ago, the bus stopped at Kalkan and I carried on to Kas where I stayed overnight, the views are fab! Have your camera ready!

Yes well worth it, there are regular buses from the Otogar, about 2 hour journey for about 14 Tl, if I remember correctly, enjoy !   ; never fear travelling on the Turkish coaches, especially the larger one's, we in the Uk could learn a lot from them !.

Very picturesque but you do need to be fit!!Coaches stop at the top of the hill, so unless you are reasonably mobile you will need taxi to take
you down to the harbour front.We generally combine our over-night stops with Kas and take in either Meis or Kekova.

We always walk from the top of the town, only thing to remember is don't wear toe-peg shoes as the roads down to the harbour are steep and slippy and your feet will just come out of toe-pegs.  Lovely place worth a visit.

Funny we are looking to do this same trip in August. We have just booked a couple of nights B&B in Kalkan, so this was really useful information!

We went to Kalkan last year, and our friends would like to go with us in September.We may go by coach and stop over night,can anyone reccomend a reasonably priced pension/BB.I have looked briefly on line and requested some info but had no feedback yet.
