Have heard of one death, the town looks eerily quiet on Korsan webcams, not a vehicle or person in sight. They are probably in some sort of lockdown.

Everything here is pretty much closed and the town is very quiet - bars, restaurants and most shops are closed. The only ones open are supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies and the DIY stores as building work is generally continuing. Those over 65 and under 20 are not allowed out and as of last night at midnight there is a curfew on everybody for just 48 hours - this is a countrywide directive. No reported cases nor deaths in Kalkan - 2 deaths in Fethiye (our nearest pandemic hospitals) and just rumours in Kas Before the curfew - inter province travel is not possible - eg Fethiye to Kalkan - road blocks and fines. All beaches, parks etc are also out of bounds....while the infection rate is rising fast the number of deaths is rather surprisingly low......

We are in some extremely sad times.

At Easter, we are usually staring to get excited about our forthcoming trip to Kalkan. This year, we just don’t really know.

Has anyone heard what the hotels are likely to do?

Stay safe everyone, take care.
