Yhanks for that, Blue Lizard.

I am amazed by how little it seems to have changed.  I recognised many shops & restaurants and the Moonlight Bar still looks the same.

Also spotted Cafe del Mar.  Does Murat still run it?  I remember him from his first season in Kalkan when he worked for Cindy & Ur at the Avalon.

Just down from Infinity Jewelelry, on the opposite side of the road, there used to be a lovely clothes shop run by a guy who looked a bit like a pirate (always wore a bandanna) & his daughter.  Is it still there?

And I saw the Odak - that was the first place I ever ate in Kalakn - run by Ferdy back then........  I remember being given one of the pide breads that puffed up like a rugby ball & thinking it was solid & how the hell were we going to eat it!!

And it was millions of lira then - very confusing.

I CAN'T WAIT for June!! :D

yes Murat does still run it. Cindy and Ur split up and Cindy moved back to the uk. The last I heard she was a hostess on canal boats and he had moved to America

Not looked at the video myself but Odak closed 2-3 years ago.  Don't know a Ferdy only ever knew man who owned it with wife & children who were always about.  Think his name was Mustafa I always called him Odak ! :laugh:  It was our first ever meal in Kalkan too & always my favourite (16 years) now Mussaka is there which moved up from the harbour after a fire & decided to stay despite rebuilds of the burnt out units, opened this summer.

The clothes shop is still there, Tufanlar's the Tailor.

I knew they had split.  They were both lovely & I think Ur was one of the most handsome men I've ever met - years too young for me though :D

And I think it was the Oz Adana, I saw, not the Odak.  I was getting over excited!

Just seen your post Lucy - am now sure I was mistaken.

I absolutely LOVE the KTLN Drive Thru  :-* :-*
I could watch it over and over...first time you watch it the anticipation of which way next when they got to junctions and crossroads was so exciting..!
Thanks KTLN ;D
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)
