I would have liked to upload these pics to the gallery here on EK, but I'm too lazy to resize them again, so have uploaded them to Flickr. Some of them are a little fuzzy, but others are just fine.

They were taken on our first trip to Kalkan between 18th and 31st May 09. We stayed at the Fidanka Hotel in Kisla, which was gorgeous. We went on several trips which included visits to Myra, Simena, Demre, Kekova, Gombe and the Green Lake. We also went on two lazy days at sea, which were fab. All in all we had an amazing holiday and really hope to get back there next summer.

Hope you enjoy the pics.

Great photies ...i see i'm stuck halfway up a tree

..as for the strange fruit it looks like frog spawn on a stick

Cheers Lizard! That fruit was v tasty, but never found out what it was. The bloke from the Ottoman House gave it to us, gratis, said it was from their tree..

The fruit is the white Mulberry

Those are fantastic Claire some of the best i've seen, you certainly have a knack for photography ! Where was the picture of the sandy beach taken, it looks lovely?

claire · « **Reply #10 on:** August 14, 2009, 05:27:46 PM »

Cheers Mrs EK! I took a lot (over a thousand!), so there were loads of duds!

Not too difficult to take decent pics out there though - it's so damn gorgeous!

claire · « **Reply #11 on:** August 14, 2009, 05:35:05 PM »

Oh, the beach - we drove past it on our way towards Kas - it's at the end of a gorge type thing. Might have been Kaputas beach...?

Mrs Enjoy Kalkan · « **Reply #12 on:** August 14, 2009, 06:00:42 PM »

Ahhh yes it will be Kaputas didn't recognise it from that angle. I thought you'd discovered a new sandy beach we hadn't been to.

Brilliant photo's. The Fidanka Hotel looks charming, where is it exactly?

claire · « **Reply #15 on:** August 15, 2009, 10:15:22 AM »

Thanks all

The Fidanka is in Kisla, just over the road from Bob's cafe. I've never been anywhere like it, it's quite eccentric and quirky, and of course very beautiful.

Hi Claire,
Lovely pictures. We stayed in Kalkan this year in June at the Asfiya Hotel. We did fancy the Fidanka very much but were told that the beds were only a standard double not a king size/twins. Is that really the case?

Thanks winniemocker. The bed we slept in (our room was Ladin suite) was almost certainly a king. We're not 100% sure as at home we sleep in a superking, so the Fidanka bed felt smaller - but not THAT much smaller, so our money is on king. Hope that makes sense!!

What was the Asfiya like?

winniemocker · « **Reply #18 on:** August 17, 2009, 11:25:54 AM »

Thanks for your reply Claire. The Asfiya was beautiful, will certainly go back at some point and will probably try the Fidanka as well!

Hi Claire - fantastic photos, you certainly have a gift for taking lovely shots! - We have hired a villa late September which apparently is near the Fidanka Hotel - can you tell me is the hotel open to the general public? - it looked stunning and thought we might pop in sometime for an Efes or a lovely meal on the rooftop - or maybe even both at the same time!! - kind regards, Irene
