A villa holiday in Kalkan gives you something a hotel cannot: total freedom over how and where you eat. Here is every option, with the pros and cons of each.

1. Self-catering

Supermarkets in Kalkan stock everything you need, and the weekly market sells excellent produce. Perfect for breakfasts and lunches. The downside: someone has to cook and wash up.

2. Breakfast delivery

A full Turkish breakfast or healthy spread delivered to the door. The easiest upgrade to any villa morning. Read our breakfast delivery guide.

3. Drop-off catering

Home-style dishes, salads and mains delivered ready to serve. Great for the arrival night or when nobody wants to cook. How catering works.

4. Catered BBQ nights

A grill master takes over the terrace barbecue with marinated meats, fish, meze and salads. Ideal for families and groups. See the BBQ guide.

5. Private chef

A chef cooks and serves a multi-course dinner at your villa. The best choice for celebrations, romantic dinners and groups who want restaurant quality at home. Read about our private chef night and see prices.

6. Eating out in Kalkan

The old town and harbour are packed with rooftop restaurants, meyhanes and seafood places. Book ahead for July and August and plan transport back to the villa. Restaurant vs private chef compared.
