Kalkan and Surroundings
Demre, which is about 1 hour away from Kalkan, can attract you with its natural wonder nature. It is one of the quiet places where you can enjoy the Lycian ruins, bird watching point, healing hot spring waters, and immaculate beaches. But the downside is that there are not enough places to eat and stay. 

Ancient City of Myra and Saint Nicholas
The ancient city of Myra is one of the delicate structures with unique rock tombs and preserved to this day. These tombs, which were carved by carving hard rocks one by one, bear traces of ancient Greek and early Byzantine periods. It is rumored that he went into seclusion after spreading his teachings and reaching the rank of saint. The Church of Saint Nicholas, located near the city of Myra, proves its existence. The Church of Saint Nicholas, where Orthodox Russians stop by to perform the duty of cross, is also worth a visit.
