Kalkan with the kiddies!

[Haybo]

That's exactly why we  extended to 3 weeks!

[Babs]

Like Jo we are back home 
Our last night meal at the Fish Terrace was lovely and was sandwiched between Botanik and Cafe del Mar......you know you've been somewhere too much when they ask if you would like the menu or a glass of red!!
Our last day began with breakfast at Ada.....everyone's clear breakfast winner! Then after a little wander we pegged ourselves out on the Bech for the last few hours.....willing the sun to come out, which it did!
Last long lunch at the Korsan,mour holidays always begin and end there! Lots happening with the harbour works and The Korsan gave us a ringside view of the cement pump and the workmen who are either quite mad or very brave!!
Off to the airport in the evening when finally the promised rain came......beautiful rainbows for our journey!
Arrived home at 3.30 this morning  and missing Kalkan desperately!
So my final thoughts.......
The building work aside Kalkan is as beautiful as ever
We had some amazing food and drink and found that in general restaurants don't seem to have cashed in on the exchange rate......all so reasonable
The people are as lovely as ever......despite some old favourites being missing.....such as Halit from Just Silver
We actually thought there were less dogs around and that those that were were very chilled....controversial??
Kalkan didn't seem quite ready for our arrival but we could see it getting busier and busier as our holiday went on.....a few business people mentioned it was quieter than usual so hope things pick up for the locals soon
We had a lovely time.......and have already planned to return next year but in October as we prefer the chilled vibe then and without a doubt the warmer sea!!

What are we to do now you and Jo have gone home Babs? 
Glad you arrived home safely but rather sad that you can't continue to report back to us Kalkan deprived peeps. I'm quietly keeping my fingers crossed that possibly K4E and others will take up the baton before too long.

Glad you 2 and the kiddies had a good time in May and it's good to hear that Kalkan is getting ready for the season.  It's also always good to try something different but I bet Kalkan is fab in October when the sun doesn't scorch as much,  the sea is warm and the vibe chilled. I just wish we could go either sept or oct but one day hopefully we will experience it.
I've really enjoyed joining you and your family on holiday this past week Babs. Thanks so much.

I'm gutted you are home so soon....seems like only yesterday that you arrived  I've really enjoyed reading your blogs and hearing your thoughts on places new and old, thanks for taking the time to post.
Dont worry, Lizilu, I will post, but I'm not an everydayer, but in the meantime Rachey is still there....come on Rachey!
But the best news of all is Antler is just behind us and he will be like poetic Shakespeare next to my trashy Hello magazine. I cannot wait to read his blog, although I'm acutely aware when he arrives it will be almost time for us to leave...sob sob!

[Bob & Jayne]

Welcome home Babs, and thank you so much for sharing your fab holiday with us.  So glad that you had such a lovely holiday.  As the ladies have already said, am enjoying Rachey's holiday reports, and then will be looking forward to K4E's followed by Antler's and who knows who else in between may put a post or two on. 

I can't wait for August, wish it would hurry up, as I look out of my window this morning it is pouring with rain again! Happy Sunday

DOH! Think I was having a senior moment now I'm growing up and into my golden years!  Of course Rachey, how could I possibly forget.  I've really been enjoying your reports - where are you? You've gone all quiet. Must be having a wonderful time and too busy relaxing and chilling to post - not that I blame you. 

Good to know K4E and antler are hot on the trail too.

So where is Halit? 

[Charlie]

Is it just Halit or has the shop Just Silver gone too?

[Babs]

Just Silver is still there but each evening we peered in to see if he was sitting behind his desk as usual.....we didn't go in and ask, to be fair, because I was trying to resist temptation!   

[kalkan4eva]

Halit wasn't at the shop much last season either....think the property side of his business takes prescidence these days
