 Kalkan is a place that appeals to the older visitor.  There are no large discos so I don't think it is really a place for teenagers.  However, if they got together with others they might enjoy themselves and the numerous music bars.
 During the summer period (july onwards) there is a larger number of young people around. A few bars suit this age group and get busy in the early hours

 Lots of traffic to start, thins out after a while. Turn right at the Zorlar roundabout, wide, long inclines but nice coming down on the other side. After Yesilkoy very steep, tight corners and narrow, watch out for traffic in both directions, until junction with Islamlar road, then downhill, steep, very narrow, watch out for traffic in both directions. Watch out for the junction with the Bezirgan road. Will improve when the new road is finished. Some water sources (signposted) and service stations.

 The thing you will remember most about Kalkan is the restaurants.  There are over 200 in this small fishing village.  They vary from the  very simple providing wholesome Turkish food to the sophisicated located in beautifully restored village homes.  Many of them have roof terraces and it is wonderful to eat under the stars and gaze at the lights of the town.
