Kleo bar - can anyone help??

[annawiththebanner]

Only 11 days to go and we are starting to relive our past memories of beautiful Kalkan and the various places we are looking forward to going back to, for the fourth consecutive year. One of the many places is the Kleo bar for a romantic and relaxing drink listening to the waves on the beach at sunset. Cannot wait!! However we have quite an embarrassing problem and wonder if anyone can help. At the Kleo bar there is a young barman who welcomes us each year and chats to us every time we go. He has (or did have) long dark wavy hair - slicked back - and is the chattiest barman there. Each year he tells us his name and Derek and I make a pact with each other to remember it. Now I know we should write his name down but being in our late fifties means that by the time we have wandered back through the glorious streets of Kalkan to our 'home', we forget. We cannot possibly ask him his name again this year and we have a photo of him that we took last year, that we want to give him. Ithink his name begins with a 'D' and you would not believe the amount of names we have gone through this week and looked at each other and said 'No, that's not it!!!' We know the owner is called Durali but if you can help with the barman's name we can return to the Kleo bar with pride (and a pen!!). Thank you (teşekkür ederim ) - see, we can remember some things!!

On one of your previous posts you mention a "Haldun", could that be it?

Thank you so, so much Elcee. That's it !!!!!!! I must be more senile than I thought - not even remembering that I had remembered on that previous post.

OH & I are always forgetting names. And we are always convinced the name begins with some letter or other that is never remotely like the real one! It's age!

[elcee]

We are the same, definitely an age thing (we are in our late forties) but at least you dont have to worry when you meet him again.  We might even see you there as we arrive in Kalkan early morning Sat 2nd Oct for one week and like to walk down to the Kleo if its a really warm evening as I love being so close to the sea.

Kleo Bar sounds really nice, we must have missed it on previous visits. Which end of the harbour is it?  I'm imagining it to be on the left as you look out to sea, would that be right?
Thanks, Cathy x

Yes....... last one on the left, steps behind it take you up into old town

Thanks Mr Lizard, will have one for you when we go!

My wife and I spent our last night at kleo last night and it was glorious. They give you a splendid little bowl of hot buttered popcorn on the house and we sat looking out over the bay in the moonlight listening to the unique sound of the waves crashing against the cobbles on the beach. I'm home now but have plenty of memories to last us till we come again.
If there is a nicer place on earth I'd love to know where it is.

OH Kalkanfan. Short but sweet - and very heartfelt.
Sounds like you had a fabulous time.
