b deren, why are you so aggressive?

It seems to me that you've made your point and YOU and YOUR HUSBAND think that Kalkan is too expensive.  That is entirely your prerogative and you are certainly able to choose to spend your money where you wish to - and so is everyone else who visits Kalkan and this forum!

Kalkan may have some more expensive restaurants than other parts of Turkey but Kalkan also has less expensive places to visit too. 

If you don't want to visit Kalkan again that's fair enough, but please stop going on about it, afterall if you're not going to visit again why are you so bothered about the prices and what do you expect the members on this forum to do about them?
Currently have a duplex apartment in Kiziltas which we visit as often as we can.

Well said Turkeyfan.....everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and as they say 'you pays your money and you takes your choice'....or something like that! In two weeks time we'll be on our way to Kalkan. We know you can go to cheaper places in Turkey and in other countries. We are lucky enough to have been able to do a holiday in Kalkan and a couple of short breaks elsewhere for the last few years. Each year we have looked for somewhere that offers us what we get for our money in Kalkan, excellent standard of accommodation at a very reasonable price (we always go in an apartment), beautiful scenery, safe and pleasant surroundings and excellent restaurants and we struggle to find the equivalent elsewhere within the same travel time. We have friends who have done the same research and come to the same conclusion. Each to their own but we have yet to discover somewhere that will give us the same quality for what we think is a very reasonable price given cheap flights....we have booked 10 days for 6 people next June/July at very high class accommodation for less that £350 a head......and when we get there we can spend as much or as little as we like.....I call that excellent value.

well said Babs and Turkeyfan.
Fethiye is ok for a visit, but I wouldn't want to spend my whole holiday there - is it any wonder they have to reduce the price of the beer to attract tourists :) I'd happily pay....and indeed do pay 6tl for an efes in Kalkan because I like the ambience and the views here. A couple of times we've felt a meal/drink was a little expensive compared with other bars/restaurants and we haven't gone back....thats a choice we made but never have I felt ripped off. Ripping off tourists belongs to UK resorts, IMHO :o
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

I got Efes for 3TL in Fethiye also, in Migros! Easy if you shop around.  ;)

Yes, I did realise that Mully. There are places in Kalkan that sell Efes for less that 6TL and this is only around £2 so hardly a rip off.

Can we not put this subject "to bed now" >:D >:D  Waste of our breath and time for someone who obviously does not like Kalkan ??? ??? ???    There is a big world out there, we all have our favourites, which might not suit everyone, SO WHAT ;D ;D ;D
