Title: Kalkan on my mind!
Post by: deepasforever1 on April 17, 2011, 07:31:14 PM: I strolled round to our local newsagent this sunny Sunday morning to pick up a Sunday Times and a bottle of water. (I live in Sussex by the sea.) Walking home I was counting down the weeks to our holiday in Kalkan (13 weeks and 4 days actually - but please don't think I'm obsessed - I didn't count the hours and minutes!)
So I sat down with my apple tea and opened the travel section of the ST straight to a picture of Kalamar bay, almost the same view we had last year. It was land for sale to build a villa on. Sadly, my latest lottery win -£2.50!!! is not quite enough to enable me to purchase said land, but heh, it was good to see that view again.
Then I noticed that my water bottle was also Turkish, bottled in Izmir!
I think these are signs that I need to get to Kalkan, fast. ;D

Post by: deepasforever1 on May 01, 2011, 12:02:59 AM: I certainly will get there as soon as I can. I watched the Korsan web camera for a while this morning and it was surreal. The camera refreshed every 5 secs and it looked just like a video - waves breaking on the shore and a couple of people running in and out of the water. They didn't stay in though so I guess the water is still chilly. :)

Hello Begonvil, bring it on!! I'll also listen out for the accent.
I see you are an owner, my brother lives in Kalamar having left the UK in 2007. He previously lived in Kalkan itself until moving towards the end of last year.
It will be good to see him and my sister-in law as i've not seen them since September 10.
:D :D

Post by: tortoise lady on May 28, 2011, 03:08:02 PM: Nine sleeps in theory for me too but who manages to sleep much the last night before travel? Even if you don't have too early a flight then you have to be quite sure you don't sleep in and as a result keep waking up. So maybe eight and a quarter sleeps would be more accurate.
