"Dolmus" Top 5 Page for this destination Kalkan Transportation Tip by sandysmith

As in other places in Turkey the local Dolmus is the most cost effective way to get around. We used them to go to Kas and Patara - but with hindsight we could have used them to visit the site of Xantos and the gorge of Saklikent - easily combined for a great day out. Its worth noting that the main bus station is now at the top of the hill but some buses do come down the hill to the roundabout junction - just opposite the taxi rank(there's a sign outside advertising) You buy tickets before you get on and you'll normally be asked which bus you want your return ticket for. With Kas its best to leave it flexible - you never know how much time you want to spend there - the local dolmus don't tell you but there are other companies that serve the route back to Kalkan. The bus station in Kas is also at the top end of the town - handy for the market but not the harbour!
