Hi Greenwoods

Also does anyone know if they open in early April?

I am not aware of a dolmus service to Islamlar but perhaps a local could answer this better.  However I do know that last summer Mahmuts Trout farm offered a free pick up and return service.  If you use the search facilility above you will get more information including their phone number.  Mahmut's opens all year round.

Last year the owner of Mehmets Trout Farm had a free transport service to and from the restaurant. You ring and book and they collect you. I think it was primarily on a Wednesday though. I'm certain that it is open in April too.

Hi,

Just contacted a Turkish man who actually lives there.

No dolmus goes there but he said they do have special taxi's that go there for a special rate. A lot of the restaurants also do offer a service,

We went there two years ago and it was very nice, high up in the mountains which made my ears pop! Our hotel organised the  taxi.,

Hi Kalkan regular
I think the trout farms will be open in April, not sure but I think they are open all year, We have been there in November and March time, and we too are hoping to go there next week!!!

Hello, just to say that we were in Kisla May2010 and daily Mehmet would send a driver around all the villa's who's purpose was to book tables for the trout farm.  We arranged with the driver a romantic table for two and was picked up on time. There were several pick ups from other villas on the way which was nice as you would chat and share experiences.  Once there, we were seated at a table prepared for two with candles, an amazing view and excellent food.  It did get chilly as the evening progressed but everything else was perfect.  On the journey there you pass the locals out on the road where they have stalls like a market, so keep a watch out.
 I will be there the end of May so maybe you can let me know what your experience was like.  Zros.

We're in Kalkan at the moment and visited a restaurant recommended by someone in town.  I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere.  It's called Pinarbasi and is right at the top of Islamlar just beyond and opposite they mosque.  Small family run place (perched on top of their house).  It's a bit ramshackle at the bottom but the terrace is lovely - super view and looking down on their trout pool, grapevines, olive and lemon trees etc.

We had lunch and if you would like to get good simple local food from very fresh ingredients I'd highly recommend it.  Six of us ate lunch with starters and soft drinks for 125 YTL.  Decent selection of fish alternatives as well.  Lovely people who seemed to really enjoy seeing their food appreciated.  Don't miss the aubergine with tomato sauce starter.  I'd guess it may be less suitable for a romantic candle-lit dinner.

They claim to offer a free pickup/return service.  Website appears non operational, but owner can be reached (I think) at bayramture@hotmail.com or by phone.  They have their numbers as +90 (535) 921 56 04 and 0(242) 838 62 22 on the flyer I picked up.  I’m waiting for Tripadvisor to publish a slightly longer review.

Thanks Stuart, sounds lovely. Great to hear 'live' Kalkan reports..hey Antler you might have some competition 

[DRBD]

We can also recommend this trout farm restaurant, one of the best as far as we are concerned. Lots of choice also for those who don't fancy/or unable to have fish.

[M n M]

Yes, our favourite too.
