How is the new road from Kisla to Kalkan looking? Is the path alongside the road walk-able and safe? Thanks, Zina

Hi Zina
Photos uploaded in the gallery for you :)

Thank you for taking the time to download the pic's of the construction of the new road. It seems a long way off to being finished but I am sure by May all will be complete and safe to walk.
I cant wait to be walking along that road into Kisla after a lazy day by the pool with the sun setting over the sea and the colourful Turkish culture ahead. Thanks

Hello
Iam new to this site and can't find out how to post a new thread so as my enquiry is Kisla related I hoped you wouldn't mind if I tagged on to yours. A friend and I are visiting in the next couple of weeks and we are staying just above Villa Mahal in The Eagles Nest Apartments. I was wondering if there is a dolmus which runs into Kalkan and if not is it an easy walk or is it easy to call a taxi? Also I have been reading in a book (which admittedly is slightly out of date) that there isnt a shop in the area or anything like that. I do hope there is a my friend and I arrive quite late and would love to toast our arrival with an Efes. Anyway, would welcome any advise, even it only to tell me how to post my own thread.
Cheers

Easy to get a taxi in to Kalkan at approx 8-10 Tl but I don't think there's much in the way of a supermarket around there. It is down hill to Kalkan but steep uphill back which in the heat will be challenging for all but the fittest. Some of the supermarkets do deliveries so worth checking that out this year. Good luck!! PS Mahal is wonderful for a day out inc lunch - but a bit pricy. Have fun! :) ;D :-\

There is a small shop just at the top of Patara Prince. It is useful for bread etc. but a bit pricey for a full shop. It is a very short walk away from where you are staying. They will also deliver. There is now a path from the bottom of the road that runs up to Kisla (just by Patara Prince) that you can use to walk into Kalkan. It takes about 20minutes and it is very stony. It is a bit like walking along a beach, but quite pleasant and quiet(only the odd taxi). Although not lit the lights from the new road give enough light to walk along in the dark apart from the last 50yards on the way back. Probably in the heat of summer walking back to Kisla would be quite a haul,especially the last bit as you have the hill after Patara Prince.
We used it every evening in May walking both ways, have to see if its 'do-able' in August!

You will love staying in Kisla as you have the amazing view of Kalkan lit up at night which is very magical and Kisla is quite area facing directly South with wonderful sun sets.
I always use Bob's Bar to buy my groceries and he will deliver. He is past the Patara in fact I think he is nearer to where you are staying. He will also get anything you need if he has not got it in stock. Above his shop is his small bar/restaurant which again has fantastic views of Kalkan lit up at night with a romantic atmosphere . Try his special meatballs, my partner said they are the best he has tasted.
We walked along the new path twice a day and I have added pictures of the path in the gallery so do have a look. Only the odd motor bike passed us but that was in May. Again good views walking along the path of Snake Island.
You will have a wonderful holiday and I am sure you will return. 8)
