HISTORY OF KALKAN
Kalkan, known as Kalamaki in ancient times is thought to
have been founded 150 - 200 years ago by traders from
the Greek island of Meis or with the Greek name of Castellorizo,
which is a couple of miles away from Kas town. Their success
encouraged other settlers of both Turkish and Greek origin
particularly from Rhodes. In those days all were subject of
the Ottoman empire.
