At last the wind has gone :D :D
Weather is a very pleasant 25deg bright sunshine.

Last night we ate at Sade. I had the "Chicken Hermes", OH had the Sea Bass Special which Sea Bass fillets wrapped round prawns and calamari.
I would highly recommend Sade.
Anyway back to the sunbathing. Back soon

Well we arrived last night at Dalaman to a deluge, in fact the plane had to abort its first landing attempt it was so windy! Quite a few nervous passengers I can tell you!  Passengers, who all seemed British,  actually clapped the pilor once he landed the plane.

Today was calmer, warmed up around lunchtime but a few spots of rain late afternoon.

Glad you arrived safe and sound and in one piece Anne. I can imagine that was a scary landing. Thanks for the weather update too. We will be joining you in Kalkan on Saturday night so fingers crossed for some good weather!  8)

Have just looked at the ktln webcams and there is wall to wall sunshine.......how I wish I was going to Kalkan tomorrow rather than being holed up with a broken foot looking out at the snow and sleet......again! Have a lovely time everyone who is out there in the next few days....the forecast looks lovely....sigh! :-[

We are out in June, so we'll have tanZorie on our list of places to try. Good luck with your venture, onelove, I hope you do well. As a new restaurant opens, its sad to see the loss of one of the older established places.... KTLN has reported that Odak won't be opening this year, we always went there at least once every trip it was a little gem :( :(

Great fun at the Parc quiz last night, thanks goes to the quiz master. Not a spare seat to be had.

Yesterday's weather was just perfect, lovely and hot with wall to wall sunshine. Today looks like its going to be the same  8) ;) 8)

Sadly wall to wall sunshine did not last, rain at 3pm.
Title: Re: April Weather in Kalkan?
Post by: onelove on April 18, 2013, 08:29:50 AM
Yeah Ann, it clouded over at approx 12:30, did not see the sun again. Out last night in a t-shirt  8), very mild evening.

This morning we have intermittent sunshine, I think we are in for a bit of rain later.

Most places are open now and the town is full of locals, tradesmen, business people running about trying to get ready for the start of the season.

Alternatif doesn't look open yet on the EK webcam :(
Its my other marker for our trip not being too far away....come on guys :P
Title: Re: April Weather in Kalkan?
Post by: Mayday1 on April 18, 2013, 11:12:04 AM
Hi kalkan4eva,

Alternatif is one of our,if not the favourite restaurant we go to.......service,atmosphere,food quality absolutely excellent.I doubt that they will open before May 1st.They didn't last year or the year before that.Worth waiting for certainly...............but not if you happen to be there now......in April !!
Title: Re: April Weather in Kalkan?
Post by: kalkan4eva on April 18, 2013, 11:20:55 AM
We also like Alternatif but I'm not sure I actually have a favourite....I tend to have a "best this trip" instead because the quality and variety of food is consistently good, its quite rare to find somewhere with awful food and poor service...IMHO.
With onelove saying most places were open, I'm just trying to hurry things along :) :)
Title: Re: April Weather in Kalkan?
Post by: Mayday1 on April 18, 2013, 12:05:29 PM
Yes you are right that the overall quality of all the kalkan restaurants is very high and is therefore difficult to have favourites.There are lots of places we have yet to try but out of the ones we have tried we think Alternatif stands out.

Hi Onelove where is Tanzorie situated? Always good to try somewhere new. All the best with your exciting venture.

As PW has said it was a lovely day yesterday, I would say 80% sun 20% cloud with a very light breeze.

Not so bright this morning, slight drizzle and a sky Full of cloud. Could be a storm on the way  :(

Had a top night last night, we were invited to our chef's house for dinner, traditional Turkish food, it was fab, not a pompadom in sight..... 8) ;) 8)

Forecast for the first week in
M ???ay shows thunderstorms and rain.  Can you advise if when you get these are they in for the day or does it come and go usually.  Only got six days so if three of them are rain I will be very sad!.  Can you Kalkanites give us daily forecasts please.

Me too.  6 days to go and the weather forecast is not looking good.  Not a lot to do in Kalkan in bad weather except sit around and drink.  Ah well, we can do that if pushed.

When are you arriving?  We were there at the same time last year and had only one day of rain and silly us, that was the day we walked to the Caretta bech club along the track. The rest of the time the weather was great although the sea was chilly.
