Kalkan 18-25th August 2014

17th August -Thomson flights booked £135pp, Apartment booked Harbour Heights Komerluk (?????), Car Hire booked ( Budget )£ 137 for the week. We did not have a lot of choice for car hire.
Now all we have to do is pack, stock up the fridge for the son, visit the in-laws, and all the usual pre holiday preparations, do it yourself Shellac, do it yourself hair dye (no time for hairdressers and when I asked OH if he thought my hair was OK he said "well it is a bit bright")
While we were food shopping I spotted a hair dye kit for brush on highlights. Right that's a plan, I could use the brush and paint on a few lowlights just to tone it down a little. The hair had suffered a little from our July holiday.
Once home I disappeared to the bathroom with my home hair dye kit and set to work. While it was developing I got on with the nails. Just then OH popped his head round the door to see what I was doing and ........."What the bl.... Hell have you done to your hair". This was the understatement of the year I have to say. I answered calmly that it will be alright when it's dry while quietly panicking and working out a plan. This was at 330 on Sunday afternoon, and I was cooking a roast for the family who were arriving at 430.
I quietly slipped out of the back door with the car keys shouting, "I just need to pop to ASDA for something, won't be long". Half an hour later I'm back in the bathroom, yorks hires in the oven, madly slapping "Oslo blonde no 9" on my hair.
I serve and eat our lovely roast lamb wearing a shower cap to hide my disastrous attempt at creating my new ombré look Still got to pack!

Yes we are here now and I'm trying to catch up with myself. It took me so long to pluck up courage to write. I really enjoy reading everyone else's reports, especially at home, so thought I would try. Almost succeeded in typing while lying on a sun bed although I need 2 hands for punctuation.

Packing Sunday 17th
As I said before, we only have one 20kg case between us. I think a 14kg/6kg split is pretty fair. I will need this for all the L'Oreal hair repair products never mind anything else.
Now passport, credit card, kindle, iPad, GHD's and brand new "Ancient Greek Sandals,"and we are nearly done. I think I am similar to many people on this forum who have a "Kalkan wardrobe", comfy, casual, cotton or containing elastic. A quick email to Osman and an early night is on the cards.
Monday 18th
Our son drops us off at Newcastle airport nice and early for the 745 flight. We have a pattern here that we can almost do in our sleep.... Greggs sandwich for the flight, through security, into Smiths for paper and magazines, browse Monsoon, buy false nails in Claire's, and a spritz of perfume in duty free, and the gin and Bacardi too, nearly forgot.
The flight is full, and we discover that our last minute booking has resulted in leg room seats. Lovely new plane, smooth journey too. It was so nice to fly in the daytime.When we landed it took a few minutes for the doors to open and we overheard someone in front of us talking about the suitcase of ............. She was bringing over for her restaurant owner friends. We were intrigued to know what this magic ingredient was, we have been known to share our duty free allowance with a fav bar but what on earth would justify a suitcase full.
We kept our ears pinned and you will never guess what it was.....or maybe you will.??!!

Ok following now....! You are there :)
Have you booked your accommodation with Turquoise Collection..? I'm wondering if your apartment is one of the block the Halit built on the site of the Yellow House?
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

Hi Maddie,

I hope you are having a fab holiday.Yes Harbour Heights is the block of 3 apartments,built by Hallitt,where the yellow house used to be.
We are right next door at the Komurluk Apartments

Also Maddie I have left you a follow up PM........We purchased the apartment off the two guys you mentioned in your PM to me,so we now own the apartment that you have stayed in before.

We've stayed at Kormurluk Apartments a few times.....Those apartments built by on the site of the Yellow House look amazing but I think they are only available to rent through Turquiose Collection who are a bit pricey IMO.

Hi Kalkan4eva,

Yes they are nice but because they go through a letting agency..Turquoise collection,they will be taking their commission and it does make them expensive to rent.

The Komurluk apartments are fantastic value,a lot of the balconies are much larger than those at Harbour heights.All our apartments rent so easily because they are all uniquely designed,all different,and the views and position are unrivalled.

I would love to hear which ones you have stayed at ??

We booked through the owner not Turquoise Collection. There was a little discount because of the late booking and only 2 of us. So prompt and professional as well it was so easy to do.
