It was great to see the out of season updates   start again ,    and  as is normal a few posts about what will the new  building(S) going up be used for,  so thought it would be interesting to  ask what new businesses would  like to see in Kalian  from 2016 onwards ,  good or bad  i.e.   all suggestions are welcome ,   so  anyone suggesting a McDonalds is  entitled to their views , just as much as anyone else  i.e. flame posts only stop members from posting  "WHAT NEW BUSINESSES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IN KALKAN FROM 2016 ONWARDS"? 

I will start it off  ,  I would like to see  a  sandwich shop   ,  the breads  are  so lovely along with the cheeses, meats   as are  the local  vegetables /herbs  ,  maybe a  type  of subway but more refined to Kalkan.   I can hear the Pide lovers getting the long knifes  out already  ha ha ,  remember no flames

Anything other than more food outlets & ones that would stay open all year round.  Eg decent clothing for both male & females, linen & kitchen shops,  so we don't have to travel to Fethiye &  back for choices.

A bar that sells beers other than Effes would be nice.

Other beers are sold in some bars, Merkez had draft Turborg this year & others selling bottled just for example.

BL.....bet you are right :-\

I would like to see one of the bars on the main drag into town with some really comfy chairs that you could sit on for more than just one drink I.e we love the mini bar but the silly directors chairs Are so uncomfortable we only stay for 1 drink, I think most of the bar owners Are missing a trick.

How about Toboggan sled rides as they have in Madeira, Portugal,  would get you down to the harbour from  the top of kiziltas in 2 minutes ,  with a surgical team waiting at the bottom of course!

Obviously a matter of taste: I find Mini Bar's chairs very comfortable indeed. And it has the added bonus of not (so far) having sport blaring out from a TV while you're trying to have a peaceful drink!

I think it needs to be something open all year round...if it is a bar/restaurant. I miss the amazing towel shop that used to be opposite Cafe del Mar that turned into a restaurant so I would love to see another one - that's my personal preference.
Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt :)

A sportswear / beachwear / swimwear shop would be useful - perhaps near the gym to tempt you in as you plan the exercise slog

DRBD ... I bought linens online from thewhitecompany.co.uk and they were delivered to Kalkan so cheaply I could hardly believe it. I did pay a bit of customs duty but it was little for all that I bought.

Cosetta many thanks for that.  Like the idea of a parking area, something Kalkan is in desperate need of, although I said non food place your idea of a good Thai is an excellent  idea.

Satovod,   some really great ideas,    We have a small place up in Kiziltas   so the helicopter pad /charter really appeals for  getting down to and up from Harbour, especially after  partaking  in a fair amount  of EFES and wine sampling

I could also live with all other suggestions ,  especially (3) Secure service/Alarm service,  i.e. if alarm goes off  ( many systems  use GSM to send a pre recorded  message to  x number of phone numbers ,  where  a  company could respond immediately and inform Jandarmerie  at same time
