As travel programs on TV and recent pres reports have shown, nomination to become a member of the EU has had nothing but a positive effect on the national economies.

Turkey, nominated for membership of the EU is no exception. Consistently in the top five of fastest growing economies in the world, Turkey is close behind China in term of capital growth.

The South West of Turkey has an economy based on two principle industries, agriculture (it’s the fruit garden of Turkey) and tourism. Both these industries are thriving. Indeed, investment has already benefited our clients with a rapid increase in “value added” over other parts of Turkey. There is no better time to consider purchasing property for permanent residence or investment.

Fethiye is growing fast, the population almost tripling over the past ten years. There are approximately 7000 UK nationals living in the Fethiye region representing almost 10% of the population. Internal migration is servicing the growth of the town and so the local economy is exceeding national growth by around 15% All indications show that the growth is likely to increase as the negotiations for EU membership proceed. Buildings rules in the Mugla province, of which Fethiye is a part, are strictly implemented, especially in regard to land use. In the centre of Fethiye up to 40% of building land may be utilized for homes but in the more picturesque areas as little as 5% of land may be occupied by new building. This policy is crucial for maintenance of the natural environment of which Turkey is so rightfully proud. The modern infrastructure for services and transport means that land values and yields in the Fethiye region are increasing at a faster rate than comparable Mediterranean or other developing EU areas as investors realize the sound potential for equity growth in the Fethiye area.

In recent years, Turkey has become a major tourist destination in Europe. With the rapid development of both summer and winter resorts, more and more people from around the world are able to enjoy the history, culture and beautiful sites of Turkey.

From swimming in the Mediterranean to skiing in mountain, Turkey has something to offer every tourist.

Golf courses with international standards have opened up; Turkey has become an elite golfing centre where players from around the world can meet in an environment of quality and prestige.

Most courses are in the vicinity of tourist resorts, around the coastal regions which have the necessary facilities like accommodation, restaurants and entertainments.

The Ministry of Tourism plans to establish another 11golf courses in these tourist areas. Top-class courses are also being planned for Istanbul, Ankara and DALAMAN.

Everyone has a different concept of relaxation;

Soaking in a warm spa, a round of golf, an exhilarating ride through white-water rapids…

Whether you favour skiing or scuba diving, whether you want to follow in the steps of St. Paul or paraglide from a high mountain, Turkey has everything to suit you. It is rare if not unique to find a country which can offer so much-welcome to relaxation, Turkish style….

Spas and thermal springs
There are over one thousand thermal springs or “kaplıca” in Turkey, scattered through-out western Anatolia. The health-giving properties of Turkey’s natural springs have been renowned since antiquity. The Romans were well aware of the therapeutic powers of thermal springs and mineral waters, building the ancient city Hierapolis close to the waters of Pamukkale.

Sailing and cruising
Turkey is full of isolated bays, inlets and tiny islands, some of which can only be explored from the sea. One of the best ways to see the best of the coast is from the deck of a traditional Turkish wooden boat known as a gullet (goo-let), where you can lie back and watch the beautiful scenery…

Golf
Turkey is ideal for year round golfing holidays .It is now well established as a golf destination. The excellent climate is an attraction, with the added benefits of high standards of service and accommodation, good value for money, and, of course, a fantastic range of international standard golf courses.

Turkey has risen to become a world class player in golf, with the Belek region near Antalya on The Turkish Riviera leading this revolution with 14 of its own courses. The region was also awarded Europe’s 2008 Golf Destination of the year at the golf industry’s prestigious annual IAGTO Awards, the golf industry equivalent of the Oscars. With 19 world class courses across Belek, Istanbul, Ankara, Cappadocia and the Mugla region, a fantastic climate and high quality yet affordable hotels situated close to some very impressive courses.

Land of lights…

" Rediscover the lights of nature, culture and history in Fethiye "

Fethiye is a bustling growing town set on a beautiful bay surrounded by distant mountains, snow-capped in winter. It combines the amenities of a modern town with the world charm of traditional Turkey.

Within easy reach of the town centre with all its banks, specialist shops, schools, public buildings and a museum; there is a charming harbour with excellent cafes and bars.

Shopping in Fethiye offers a wide choice from the traditional Tuesday market where you can buy local produce handmade crafts and beautiful textiles to specialist boutiques that provide for every possible need. There are several air-conditioned modern supermarkets where most checkout staff speaks good English and many familiar items and brands are available. The historical bazaar in Paspatur is always worth a stroll in the cool evening.

There are excellent public and private hospitals and dentists in Fethiye; a new cultural centre serves the arts and a modern cinema screens the latest releases in English. There is a modest museum displaying a collection of local historical artefacts.

Health clubs and gyms and a number of good Turkish Baths (Hammams) as well as plenty of stylish hair salons and beauty spas are spread across the centre of the town.

Park and play areas are situated around the town especially along the sea front promenade. There are pleasure boats moored each day for day trips to the twelve islands of the bay and beyond and a busy international marina where, from among the yachts, a regular hydrofoil service operates to Rhodes.

There are several local newspapers printed in English serving the growing European community of approximately 7000 in 2009.

Life Style

For beach-lover: The stunning lagoon of Oludeniz is one of the best in the World or you can join the locals at the nearby pebble beach of Gemiler.

For culture vultures: Head to Fethiye Museum, and check out the theatre of Telmessos, built in the early Roman period, which was only excavated in 1994.

For thrills: Oludeniz is one of the best places for the Paragliding in the world. The Dalaman river is good for white-water rafting and Fethiye is also a big centre for scuba diving.

For Kids: The beaches here are gently shelving and great for children. Older kids will enjoy the pedalos on the lagoon itself. There are also Aqua parks in Calis and Ovacik.

For bargain-hunters: Fethiye’s Tuesday market is the largest in the area, and there are  also smaller markets in Hisaronu on Mondays and Calis on Sundays.

For night owls: Hisaronu is probably the liveliest- with a few good dance bars  which stay open till the early hours.

Getting away from the crowds: The stone village of Kaya is quite literally deserted. If you set off early in the morning, before the sun is too high, it makes a pleasant walk from Hisaronu. Stop for lunch in one of the village restaurants nearby.

Eating out: A wide choice of Turkish and international cuisine in resorts, but a visit to the area would be incomplete without sampling some locally caught fresh fish.

Great days out: Visit the ancient Lycian city of Tlos and marvel at the ruins that overlook the breathtaking Xanthos Valley including an Ottoman fortress, Lycian tombs, a theatre and a bath complex.

Nearest airport: Dalaman International Airport

Distance: Fethiye 40kms; Oludeniz 52kms

Situated on Fethiye Bay, Calis is famous for its 4km sandy and shingle beach and wonderful sunsets. This area is a favourite choice for new residents of Fethiye. It has a colorful weekly market for local produce and handcrafts with small local shops for day to day needs.

Travelling around couldn’t be easier or more fun with a regular  water taxi service to Fethiye town centre and frequent local busses. Just forty minutes from Dalaman airport makes Calis an ideal location for holiday accommodation. Among the facilities here is a water park popular with families, a variety of water sports including kite surfing, wind surfing, and parasailing. Horse-riding is also available as is bicycle hire (the area is reasonably flat in Calis and Fethiye and the coastal path makes an ideal cycle journey into Fethiye centre.)

Popular as a holiday centre, it has a relaxed atmosphere with a selection of attractive bars, restaurants and night clubs. Increasingly Calis is home to a growing community of year round British and European  residents while also providing ideal holiday letting potential.

Surrounded by both sweet-smelling pine and almond forests, the town of Ovacik is surrounded with the most stunning mountain views in the land that greet the weary traveller wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life. With its slightly more rural setting, the town enjoys a wonderful breeze from the mountains that travels its city streets despite the warm Turkish sun shining brightly overhead. As such, guests will realize that the air here is usually cooler and fresher than in the sea port areas below closer to the beaches.

Though located close to the other hilltop resort village of Hisanoru, Ovacik is the more rural and calming of the two neighboring towns. The charming bars and restaurants of Ovacik and Hisaronu make it a wonderful opportunity to sit with friendly locals over a meal and see the sun as it sets over the mountains. A medical centre, hammams, a weekly market and post office are nearby...

It is no wonder to owing to such a flexibly located sleepy laid back village, more and more Ovacik is popular for self-catered villas for visitors to experience Turkish nature closer at hand, with having the treasures of the sea and the culture in nearby locales just a few minutes away.

In these hills there are wilderness safari's, pony trekking, quad biking and parascending that anyone, the locals or visitors, can enjoy year round.

Its proximity to the world famous beach at Olu Deniz can be reached by a quick walk through the scenic pine forests.

This beach resort remains one of the most photographed beaches on the Mediterranean—particularly that of its blue (and wonderful shades of aquamarine and turquoise in between) lagoon, a fiercely protected national nature wilderness reserve.

Known as one of the most famous and highly rated tourism beaches, Olu Deniz is an Official Blue Flag Beach. Its Mediterranean climate invites sun-soaked travellers who enjoy warm climate and pleasant breezes from the sea on the 3 km stretch of beach.

The area is famous also for paragliding opportunities due to its unique panoramic views, and the Baba Dag mountain’s exceptional height as the take-off point.

Visitors exploring the region will be invited to visit the more beaches such as the secluded Kidrak (Paradise) Beach, the Butterfly Valley Beach and the quiet Kabak Beach, which can both be reached by boat.

On the other hand, those visiting between June to September will be delighted with the countless varieties of butterfly species in the canyon of Butterfly Valley whose untouched nature and cliffs are accessible also by boat for more rustic accommodations and an escape from civilization.

Uzumlu is around 500 meters or 1600 feet above sea level where everyday life centers on the village square and tea house. Famous for its wine, sold by a village co-operative and made from grapes grown in the area as well as “dastar” a hand woven fabric made from cotton or silk on home based looms, Uzumlu is a rural idyll.

The breathtaking agricultural valley and surrounding area is excellent for walking. There are frequent local busses to Fethiye which is 19km or 20 minutes away. A truly peaceful and hospitable place to live or visit on holiday, it benefits from having its own municipality. They look after registration of property, building administration, running water, street cleaning, rubbish collection etc…There is a local weekly market for all your grocery essentials, small shops and restaurants and an excellent local wine bar.

Close by is the historic site of Cadianda and twenty minutes further on are the developing ski resorts of the higher mountains.

Kalkan is an exclusive place…

November 25, 2009
AMERICAN
CHRONICLE “Kalkan Turkey the perfect Holiday alternative to the ´Euro Zone´”
                                  Andrew Braithwaite

…Television programs and several newspapers have featured one Turkish resort in particular; Kalkan, it has been described as an ´up market´ resort.

The Daily Mail wrote on 9th August 2004;

Kalkan was once a fishing village and is now one of those destinations, which is at the perfect point for tourists: not so crowded that it has become overrun or tacky, but popular enough to have lovely hotels, restaurants and shops. With mountains as a backdrop, the town slopes down to a beautiful harbour and Mediterranean bay.

The Independent newspaper reported it to be in the top 10 destinations in the world in 2007.

The Channel 4 program hosted by Amanda Lamb ´ A place in the sun´ featured Kalkan as a place to buy a house in 2006.

...it is ´a Cornish fishing village with sun!´ it has an eclectic mixture of new and old buildings cascading around a picturesque harbour with narrow cobbled streets which abound with shops selling art, pottery jewellery and restaurants catering for all tastes from the traditional Turkish cooking to high end cosmopolitan cuisine. It is a perfect place for a sophisticated and relaxing holiday in Turkey. 

Adını XANTHOS nehrinden ( Bugünkü Koca Çayı ) alır ve hellence 'sarı' anlamına gelir.

Kentin M.Ö 8.yüzyılda kurulduğu tahmin edilmektedir.Hellenistik ve Roma devrinde LYKIA bölgesinin en önemli kentlerinden biri olan Xanthos aynı zamanda Lykia birliğininde idari merkezi idi. Kent özgürlüğüne çok düşkündü M.Ö 545 yılında Lykia'yı ele geçiren Pers kumandanı Harpagos'a karşı kahramanca savaşan Xanthos halkı,kadınlarını,çocuklarını ve hizmetçilerini eşyalarıyla birlikte AKROPOLE kapatıp ateşe vermiş ve bütün erkekleri ile düşmana karşı son bir hamle yaparak hepsi kahramanca dövüşerek ölmüşlerdir.Bu trajediden ancak o sırada kentin dışında bulunan 80 aile sağ kalabilmiştir. Kent daha sonraları tekrar gelişerek en parlak devirlerini M.S 1. ve 2. yüzyıllarda PAX ROMANA ( Roma Barışı ) devrinde yaşamış ve 7.yüzyılda başlayan arap akınlarıyla terk edilmiştir. 

Heredot (M.Ö. 400) Kalkan "Dünyada yıldızlara en yakın yer" demiştir.

Kaş-Fethiye yolunun 30. km.'sinde yer alan Kalkan (Kalamaki), güney girişindeki irili ufaklı adaların çevrelediği küçük bir koyda kurulmuş liman yerleşkesidir. Bezirgan Düzü'nün, daha batıdaki Ovagelemiş ve Fırnaz köylerinin ürünlerinin sevk edildiği bir liman yerleşmesi olarak bilinen Kalkan, son yıllarda gelişerek bölgenin turizm merkezi konumuna gelmiştir. İnanılmaz güzellikteki denizi, her türlü gezi teknesine demirleme imkanı veren yat limanı, her kesime yönelik küçük, sevimli, temiz konaklama tesisleri ve özellikle birkaç kilometre içinde ulaşılabilen dağ ve köy yaşamı, yörenin temel geçim kaynaklarından biri olan otantik zeytin sıkma ve zeytinyağı üretim tesisleri, Kalkan'ı görülmesi gereken yerler arasına sokmaktadır. 

Deniz ve kara surları tarafından kuşatılan kent merkezine bugün "Kale İçi" denmektedir. Kale İçi'nin sokakları ve yapıları Antalya tarihinin izlerini günümüze kadar getirmektedir. Eski evlerin önemi sadece mimari açıdan değil, aynı zamanda insanların yaşam şekli,davranışları, gelenekleri ve sosyal yönleri konusunda da çok yararlı bilgiler aktarmaktadır. Kale İçi'nin sokakları dardır. Çoğunlukla limandan yukarılara doğru, dış surlar yönünde uzanırlar. Kale içinde birçok ev aslına uygun restore edilmiştir. Kale içi günümüzde, eğlence yerlerinin, pansiyonların, restoranların, hediyelik eşya satan dükkanların ve antika halı satan mağazaların bulunduğu eşsiz güzellikte bir turizm merkezi olmuştur. 

Tarih boyunca güvenilir bir liman olması, Elmalı-Gömbe-Bezirgan yörelerinden gelen tarım ve orman ürünlerinin pazarlandığı ve yüklendiği bir liman olarak önemini korumuş ama 1970`li yıllardan sonra Antalya karayolunun açılmasıyle deniz ticaretini zayıflayarak hemen hemen yok olma noktasına gelmiştir.
Uzun yıllar ulaşım zorluğunun da etkisiyle çevre ilçeler gibi canlılık kazanamamış ve kendini korumuştur. Son yıllarda özellikle İngiliz turistler tarafından keşfedilmiştir. İngilizler`in başı çektiği yoğun bir yabancı nüfusu bugün Kalkan`a yerleşmiş durumdadır. Bu hızlı gelişmeye rağmen, Kalkan`ın sırtını yasladığı dağlara doğru yayılan kentin eski dokusunun bulunduğu bölüm korunabilmiştir.

Belde içindeki deniz taşlıktır ama 13 km. uzaklıktaki Patara`daki plaj sığ denizi kumsalı ile bir alternatif oluşturur. Kalkan koyu mavi bayrak ödülü almaya hak kazanan temizlik ve güzelliktedir.
Beyaz duvarlı evleriyle meşhur Kalkan, 1920`li yıllara kadar Kalamaki adıyla anılan eski bir Rum balıkçı köyüdür. O zamandan geriye kalan köyün kilisesi bugün cami olarak kullanılmaktadır.

Turizmin gelişmesi ve yabancı uyruklu kişilerin yaşamaya başlamasıyle değişik yan sektörler ve iş kolları yerini almış ve diğer beldelere bağımlılık azalmıştır.

Kalkan koyunun açıklarında, üzerinde yerleşim olmayan Çata Adası bulunuyor. ben kalkandan biriyim.kalkan okadar küçük görünmesine rağmen kışları olmasada yazları çok güzel bir yerdir.klkan turistik bir yer olduğundan günümüzde daha çok turistleri kaldığı bir belde haline gelmiştir.

Ulaşım:
Antalya'nın Kaş ilçesine bağlı Kalkan, özellikle Likya Uygarlığı'ndan kalan antik kentleri ulaşım zorluğu nedeniyle yıllar boyu korumayı başarmış, özellikle Avrupalı turistlerin yoğun olarak ziyaret ettiliği tatil belderinden biridir. 
Antalya Kalkan arası mesafe yaklaşık 200 kilometre olup, binek araçla bu yol ortalama 3 saat 45 dakikada alınabilmektedir.

Dalaman Kalkan arası mesafe yaklaşık 130 kilometre olup, binek araçla bu yol ortalama 1 saat 30 dakikada alınabilmektedir.

Antalya / Dalaman - Kalkan arası transfer hizmeti veren şirketlerle önceden haberleşilerek daha kısa ve konforlu olarak özel transferler de ayarlanabilmektedir.

Antalya Havaalanı Kalkan transferi için izleyebileceğiniz daha ucuz bir yol olan Antalya Havalimanı'ndan Havaş otobüsleri ile otogara gelip buradan Kalkan'a gidecek otobüslere aktarma yapabilirsiniz.
