When are you going?

I'm going there at the end of April to visit a friend. We drove past it last year on the way to Kas. I would recommend a trip to Kas which is around 30 mins drive away. We took a boat trip to Kekova and the sunken city which was so interesting. This time we hope to go to Patara and I'm told the beach is fabulous. I believe Myra is around that way and I think that is where St. Nicholas worked as a bishop. He left money in the shoes of the poor.
There are no beaches actually in Kas and I believe Kalkan is the same.

In addition to the links provided by Kalkanite, scroll back through this forum to January 10th, 2010 to find the Discussion on Kalkan topic. Patara Beach is only a short dolmus trip away but well worth it.

Thanks everyone: lots of useful info there & has whetted my appetite even more!! More things to do in the vicinity than I thought

Has anyone visited the Greek island? I fancy that. Do you think it'd be possible to stay there overnight?

again!
