Traveller notes on Kalkan in September
Notes from nearby Kaş (21 km away)
Kalkan doesn't have its own notes for September yet — these are about Kaş, close enough to share the season.
Kaş's forum calls September a genuine sweet spot — the summer heat eases off, the sea stays warm enough to swim, and regulars say the town noticeably quiets down by late September once local kids are back at school. Still plenty going on, just without the peak-season crush.
