Traveling is my second life and there’s no denying that. I am in love with the idea of getting to know different culture, meet different people and get to try all sorts of delicacies and cuisines. Somehow I don’t know if I can just pin-point my passion to travel to my astrological ruler Mercury. Some people aren’t open to the idea of traveling, while some find a thrill to the chase. I know I do.

Sometime last month, I have expressed my desire to travel in Turkey. Since I haven’t gotten the chance to cross it off my bucket list, I have added yet another hot spot to see … Kalkan. No matter what, the sea will always have a special place in my heart. Aside from traveling, I am hooked to spending plenty of time by the sea. Most Kalkan property offer breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Kalkan is located in the Lycian Coast, where tourists often visit for the scenic beaches. Aside from beach hopping and enjoying multiple water activities, there are lots of other places not to miss out on including Xanthos – Lycian’s antique city where you will find the Lycian pillar tombs and the ampitheatre.
