Hi everyone.
I've just booked an apartment for two weeks in September/October in Kalkan - we had such a great time in June and October last year our holiday choice for this year was a no-brainer!
BUT . . . I just had a squizz through some topics on here and it's all burglaries, roadworks and water shortages . . . has heaven gone to hell in a handcart over the winter? please someone reassure me that all will be well and that the loss of the excellent Atlantis bar will be our only disappointment. Although how I am going to break that particular nugget of bad news to the other half, I don't know . . .

Baggy, there's always something for us to moan about.. ;D
To be honest the roadworks have been ongoing in Kalkan for the last two years with the construction of the "new road" into Kalkan - the national scheme for the widening of the D400. If you didn't notice them before, chances are you won't be bothered by them again. The recent posts have been for people who are staying up Kisla, Patara Prince and Komurluk way as the roadworks are right on top of that area now - so there might be some disturbance. As part of those roadworks some water pipes have to be cut which means the area will be without a water supply for about two weeks starting tomorrow. By the time you arrive in September they'll be much further on with things, so please don't worry.
I haven't seen any recent posts about burglaries, but we should all always be vigilant no matter where we are in the world.
The Atlantis closing is one you may need professional help with.. ;D ;D ;D I'm sure you'll find a new favourite - there's maybe one or two to choose from ::)

Take no notice of the overtly negative on here. It's a lovely place and has far fewer problems than the majority of places but while humans are humans then there will be the occasional slip up. Go and enjoy your holiday and just take the usual precautions.

Don't worry too much about the Atlantis. We were in there the other night and it is now a patisserie on the ground floor with lots more seating, and the rooftop restaurant is to be opened soon. There was a strong hint that once the rooftop is operational beer etc will be available on the ground floor so it may be almost back to the way it was but more comfort. You'll have a great a time as ever.
