Misty - the Likya website is www.likyakalkan.com or you can find it on Tapestry and The Turquoise Collection sites. Looks amazing!
-
Thanks for that K4E - as we are at PPR our view is directly of the hotel and ive been watching it get built over time so its nice to see the finished product - might have to pay it a visit
Still want to know what the big hole is in front of the hotel !
-
Wish you never posted the link now Mrs EK keeps hinting at the Spa Packages! :o
Looks really nice though - will def have to pay it a visit......... if only I had a JetSki to nip across the water!
-
oooh it does like nice, I will have to pay a visit there. The bar area looks cool and I like that the look of the restaurant. But what is that funny rock formation they have ???
-
I think they may have just doctored the photo as the Likya is pirched above that big chunk that is blasted out of the hillside on the way round the dirt road leading from the beach club. There were some very dodgy looking steep steps and pathway coming down from the residence onto the track when I walked around that part of the bay last year with nothing to hold on to.
-
Anyone know why there is a big chunk missing? Always confused me that one!
-
Maybe when they were extending the bay around that way a lot more fell away than they were expecting hence the weird shape of it ;D I always thought that maybe that''s where they got a lot of the local stone from :)
-
The hole is like a very small quarry but it has now been planted with hundreds of oleander, hibiscus etc. It has a proper path leading down to Kalkan Harbour. The new restaurant sits in front of a new swimming pool with decking on stilts over the edge of the " hole". Just make sure you don''t have too many Efes!

We just got back today and thought I would let all you ladies (or gents ;)) that the spa at the Likya is fantastic. I''m not sure if anyone else has been yet? I''d been dying to try it out so treated myself to the hot oil massage and would highly recommend it. The spa is beautiful, really luxurious and much better than some of the spas I have been to in England at five star hotels. The hotel is also very luxurious- the pool and sunloungers look fab- so anyone staying there will have a great time!

The lower pool is open to non residents. It is lovely and they have the most luxurious matresses on their sunloungers. You need to buy food and drink but they make no charge for using the facilities.
-
Julie,
What are the prices like?

I would say slightly more expensive than places like Atlantis but you are paying for the nicer facilities. If you email them i''m sure they could send you a price list. Here is the email address: info@likyakalkan.com

Thanks for posting a report on the spa at Likya, Julie. Can''t wait to try it out.

We went to the outside restaurant there last week and the meal was fantastic. There is a thatched roof circular bar where you can get really good cocktails, mohitos, long island iced tea etc. Menu had some unusual dishes and service was excellant costs were similar to Trio and Aubergine. Manager was Jimmy who used to be front of house at Gironde. The setting is fabulous and you look out towards the harbour and Kisla. I think it will do very well. Went again later that week just for drinkies before we walked into town they were really welcoming

Mr Kevincat
Would you say this was an ideal place to eat, for those with large wallets, but sadly on diets? ;D
Em

....or for those people with tiny appetites...regrettably that is not me...!! :o :o :o
-
I have to disagree. My husband ahd I thought the portions were fine, the service was spot on and all was as per the menu. I really felt it was a great venue. We are all different, but I felt the prices and quantities same as Aubergine and Trio. The bread I got on the night was hand made rolls and were really yummy.

Bev you must have been somewhere else - ask your neighbour for his views
-
As I said Alan each to their own and I know where i eat thanks I don''t need to ask P&J their views I''m happy with my own. Perhaps you had a bad night and I had a good one. At least neither of us are at odds over Omar''s brothers place!!
-
We ate at the new Lykia restaurant tonight and I must say it was really fantastic, food, portions, service, ambiance, everything made for a very special evening.
I''ve felt that the food is often overrated in many of the restaurants in kalkan as usually I find it below par compared to other parts of Turkey,
(It''s difficult to say this on this forum because I know it''s users have a somewhat distorted rosy view of everything about the place and I know that anything less than ''praise'' for all things kalkan is not appreciated here), however I think kalkan now has a hotel and restaurant to really be proud of.
-
Hi Belinda,
Any feedback is welcome and your right, Kalkan does now have a hotel to be proud of - I think Kalkan needs more hotels, or perhaps upgrades of some of the existing hotels to ensure it keeps delivering what people want for years to come :)
-
4 of us eat there last week and we thought it was fab, stunning views, lovely bar area, great food, great service, Jimmy is a star.....the 4 of us had 2 drinks at the bar one of them been a large vodka, we all had a starter and main meal, 1 more beer, a couple of soft drinks and 2 bottels of house white, we had comp bread with dips - fantastic bread - and a comp sorbet in between starter and main.....all this for £110....how can anyone call that expensive, we could not believe that you could have a great meal in a fantastic setting so cheaply.......and I think that goes for most of the restaurants, they offer great value for money LoveKalkan. :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Just got back from Roma...don''t ask ! ! ! :( >:D
