I remeber watching Mustafa the tailor and another shop keeper having a right old ding dong in the street a few years ago.

Then more recently the taxi drivers and the driver of one of the courtesy buses!!

Fights happen everywhere occasionaly........ even in kalkan.

Well said Mrs EK.

And it may be rather presumptuous to say that this family were "sent by holiday companies" that may not be the case at all.

What do a couple of you mean by 'Interesting this is a first post' !?

I heard about this incident the next morning from a Turkish friend who had been there as it happend !! It is a shock and such a shame, but lets not get too alarmed by it, it was a one off incident, not likely to happen again I hope.

I wont be lucky enough to be in Kalkan this year , but I do remember being witness to several altercations amongst taxi drivers over the years so these things do happen in Kalkan,same as everywhere else in the world.I believe there were guns witnessed last year weren't there ,that was whilst I was there .Doesn't stop me from believing that Kalkan is the one place where I can holiday alone and feel perfectly safe . Cant wait for next year in fact.

yes guns, i witnesed several Turkish youths having a scuffle, then one of them then discharged one round from a semi automatic pistol. The fight stopped and the youths then tussled the boy and took the pistol off him.
This all happened at the taxi rank round a bout at new year.

It was covered on EK at the time, please feel free to search as opposed bringing up an old topic

For gods sake folks get a grip. What is this the Daily Mail Little Britain site. Lets not get too hysterical " I'm a poor woman" "oh I can't go out" Kalkan is safe and probably a lot safer than my home town but it doesn't stop me going out

Quite true...my mrs doesn't feel safe going out at night alone where we live but has no such problem in Kalkan....a couple of morons and the odd pleb that can't take an Efes or two doesn't mean we are all going to hell and back in a handcart.......Kalkan is still magical and i can't wait to get back!! (sadly not till next year....drat this reccession!! :'( )

No worries we have added, taser, telescopic cosh, stab proof vest, knuckle dusters and pepper spray to the list of items to pack for the holiday

And Misty - I bet you get them through security, whereas I got stopped because 9 had a pair of eyelash curlers in my hand luggage!!

schoolgirl error, HoneyBunny!!
The x-ray machine doesn't like them at all...but have to ask why 9?

These things happen in the best of places. In a funny way the alarm and disgust expressed just emphasise that this sort of behaviour is very rare in Kalkan and simply will not be tolerated. Should get some photos of the family and post them on the gallery "Banned from Kalkan/Turkey"
