Kalkan Cats
Kalkan, Turkey
About this spot
A picturesque resort on Turkey's Turquoise Coast, where the volunteer group KAPSA has cared for stray cats since 2008 — trapping, neutering, and feeding them through the winter months.
How to get there
The nearest major airport is Dalaman (DLM), about 1.5–2 hours by road from Kalkan. Shared shuttle buses and taxis are available from the airport. You can also reach Kalkan by road from Antalya or Fethiye.
Kalkan is a compact hillside town. Once you arrive, the harbor, old town streets, and mosque area are easy to explore on foot — this is where you are most likely to meet the local cats.
Summer brings more visitors and open shops; in winter the town is quieter, but KAPSA's feeding routes continue year-round.
