Because of this, Kalkan has retained the texture of its history by protecting its distinctive Ottoman Greek architecture (it was once an Ottoman Greek and Turkish fishing village). Very strict building codes keep the town small and architecturally blended with the historic heart of the town known as \u201cOld Kalkan\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite some if Turkeys political problems the countries property prices in are growing at the second highest rate of all major world economies after Hong Kong.
