Much loved Kalkan on the Mediterranean coast of south-west Turkey sits around two bays, Kalkan and Kalamar, both much like a theater, with many homes boasting the best seat in the house in terms of stunning panoramic sea views.
Exclusive Holiday Resort
Kalkan belongs to the Antalya province and is far from both Antalya and Dalaman airports. However, the closer connection to Dalaman means that many Kalkan visitors choose Dalaman as their arrival airport rather than Antalya, as the transfer time is much shorter.
This, and the fact that much of the Kalkan area is protected green belt land, means that Kalkan has kept its charm, beauty, and authenticity by not being over-commercialized with mass tourism and huge developments due to stringent building regulations, which has resulted in Kalkan gaining an exclusive resort title, attracting discerning visitors.
Types of Property in Kalkan
Real estate in Kalkan offers properties ranging from modest apartments to luxury seafront villas. If you have the budget, some villas come with a private beach in certain areas or are perched on the surrounding hillsides offering lots of privacy and spectacular views of either Kalkan or Kalamar bays, or if you are lucky, both bays sit within the picture.
A new trend with Kalkan apartments is private pools rather than shared pools. Some unique penthouse apartments with private rooftop infinity pools are a fantastic idea for anyone who can’t quite the luxury of a private villa.
Rental Yields
Suppose you are an investor looking to buy property in Kalkan, Turkey. In that case, you can expect a high return on your investment as rental yields are extremely high, rising with each type of property. With ever-rising prices, capital appreciation is also very favorable.
A high factor to consider when purchasing property in the Kalkan area for investment purposes is the view available from the chosen property; you may pay a little more initially. However, you will feel the benefits in the long run with the rental yields received.
Popular Areas
Kisla
Some of the more desirable properties in Kalkan are located in the Kisla area, sitting near the harbour and close to the beach. Some of these luxury villas sit at the seafront and have their sea access via platforms where you can hop on a water taxi and sail across to the harbour in just five minutes. Kisla also boasts one of the best spots in Kalkan to enjoy the stunning sunsets. Kisla properties for sale in Kalkan generally are in high demand.
Ortaalan
Ortaalan translates as the ‘middle area’ aptly named as its sits between the two bays, quite elevated, enjoying views across both bays, the harbour, and the local islands that seem to float on the Mediterranean waters. Ortaalan is a newly developed area where you can find the newer modern and contemporary designed Kalkan property for sale; popular due to its close walking distance to the resort centre and all its shops, bars, and restaurants, which is a significant factor when searching for accommodation for sale in Kalkan, due to the steep climb to some homes in the area.
Komurluk
Preferred by some for its proximity to the center, another popular area is Komurluk, one of Kalkan’s more established and select areas with some lovely traditional style stone-clad houses that sit right at the seafront with amazing views. Some that sits slightly elevated have some of the best ideas available in the area, with not only the sea but the harbour too, as quite often accommodation in Kalkan, Turkey can be hidden from the port due to the contour of the land.

Kalamar
A growing area that has become popular for holiday homes in recent years is Kalamar Bay, within walking distance of Kalkan center. The properties here can be picked up at slightly lower prices than in the areas above, though prices are increasing steadily as some unique luxury homes have been developed right at the beach front with private beaches.
