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.
