Small House

Kalkan


Quirky family-run restaurant in a tiny little dining room (it sits about 12) where Turkish dishes (superb mezes, stews and seafood) are prepared with love and skill. Walls are covered in messages left by contented diners. There's also a balcony table (which you'll have to book many months ahead) with great views down Kalkan's main drag.
