Title: Telegraph today
Post by: alantj on July 26, 2009, 12:07:37 AM

The Saturday Telegraph travel section had a couple of pages devoted to Luxury Turkey. Kalkan got a small mention as an upmarket boutique  destination with superior restaurants.

Also in an article about tippling etiquette, Turkey was mentioned as a destination where you were not expected to tip taxi drivers. This explains why when in Istanbul, earlier in the year, I was twice given my tip back by taxi drivers who obviously thought I was just another confused foreigner who had not understood the meter price.

Should have read Kalkan not Balkan ,  but expect you guessed that already. Did we previously have modify option or am I thinking of a different forum
