Best Restaurants in Kalkan: A Local Dining Guide to the Old Town

Choosing among the restaurants in Kalkan is one of the nicest problems of a holiday here. Every corner of the old town hides a view terrace, a stone courtyard or a lane that smells of the sea. So how do you pick the best one?

What to look for

• The view: sunset terraces fill fast in summer, so book ahead.
• Freshness: places that offer a catch of the day and a seasonal menu are a good sign.
• Atmosphere: decide whether you want lively music or a quiet evening.
• Variety: a generous meze selection and vegetarian options signal quality.

Which cuisine for which evening?

A quiet view terrace for a romantic night, a shared meze table for a big group, a grill-focused menu for seafood lovers. Kalkan offers all three on the same street.

In the heart of the old town: Salonika 1881

Salonika 1881 pairs the view with a rich Mediterranean menu: more than 20 meze, char-grilled seafood and traditional Turkish dishes.
