Customs House -Main : A unique property in KALKAN’s old town

DESCRIPTION and HISTORY

At the end of the 19 th Century , Kalkan was an important trade centre thanks to its big harbour. Sailors stayed in town at different pensions and could drink at in various pubs . The Customs House Building was one of them and Constructed as a pension/ pub by a Greek Entrepreneur in 1854. At the beginning of the 20 th century, the Ottomans used the building as a Customs House due to its super location over the harbour. Trading continued after the 1923 population exchange and The Customs House was in full use until sea trade faded away in the 1950’s due to improvement of the Turkish Road infrastructure and adoption of overland transport.

Wonderful accommodation
We are a family of 5 adults and had a great stay in Customs House in Kalkan. The house is lovingly decorated and quite spacious. Every bedroom has its own bathroom, it has lovely balconies and terraces everywhere and the view over the harbor and beach is awesome. We loved the plunge pool on top of the house! The location is even better, right at the beach and in the middle of Kalkan with its many restaurants and shops. A car is not necessary. We had a wonderful holiday and can fully recommend the pink Customs House!
Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2023
