[Kalkan regular]

Thanks for the easyjet info.

[Babs]

Sezkalkan, I've just logged on to ask if anyone knew when the Sept/Oct easyJet flights were due to be released......brilliant, thanks!

Yes it's quiet - watching but got nothing to add - unless you want to know the sprouts are about to go on

We are here weather is fabulous today was around 20 degrees and sunny, Fresh turkeys will aparantly be available at the Sunday Akbel market soon, sprouts are in the greengrocers, No xmas trees, decorations or frantic shoppers in sight. Been sunbathing round the pool this lunchtime,  cooked a Turkish chicken curry for dinner tonight after going out for a couple of tiddlywinks early doors. All booked up for xmas dinner at Marleys with all the trimmings and looking forward to New Years Eve at Mussakka. Loving life in Kalkan even though it's our very first winter here it's still paradise. Oh and the Lira was 4.49 in the banks yesterday happy happy days.

Just booked flights for next June and September.   Going BA (tried for the first time this year) but they only have two flights a week now from Gatwick and no choice of flight times.   I will certainly be trying Turkish airline if they ever do direct flights from London.

You can tell a lot about about a man by his sprouts....oooooh! matron

Oh Chrissy, so envious. Sunbathing today??? 
Enjoy your first Kalkan Christmas - we will get there one Christmas......

[Lizilu20]

Well I'm still mooching about but haven't checked the forum for a few days.

 Unlike Chrissy I've been frantically shopping for Christmas, buying frozen sprouts as a contingency plan in case there's a sprout drought this year as I've been caught out by that in the past and nearly had to rugby tackle a fellow shopper on Christmas Eve in ASDA to get out of my way when they announced over the tannoy that the sprout delivery had arrived. Talk about a stampede!

We've just got back from a very cold mini break up in the Lakes, couldn't even brace myself to get in the hot tub  -  I'd much rather have  been sunning myself in Kalkan. Sounds like your first winter in Kalkan is living up to the Kalkan dream Chrissy1, lucky you.

All the best to everyone and if any of you in Kalkan now fancy giving us a little snippet of winter life in our favourite place, it would be wonderful to help us along this cold and dreary winter.

We can relegate on you Liz to liven things up on here 👍

Me & o/h are back in Kalkan from the start of Jan for a prolonged period
Not sure how long at the moment, we just tend to decide when we go home
when we decide to go !

Anyway I'm happy to put members to sleep with a redown on our
'Winter' in our most favourite place that's called Kalkan 😎

Hoping to be out in January with my son to collect keys and paperwork for our appartment if everything goes to plan.

I think we are all hibernating for winter
Perhaps its time to give the forum a Facelift, what do we all think?

[Blue Lizard]

Hey Jon....I think the forum is reflecting Kalkans season and Turkey in general and is like the Bjork(remember her?) song "it,s oh so Quiet"
Bad vibes in the UK press, the terrorist threat in the world and the Turkish Government upheaval have all taken it's toll..Some of the old posters on here who waxed lyrical about Kalkan have gone. Anything that you think might work is worth a try!!I am still here and willing to chat be it about sprouts or history or rubber crocs...anything!

Tortoise Lady:

If yo're going to use BA, remember two things:

1.  You'll need to take your packed lunch with you

2.  Get your drinks for the entire flight at take off.  They won't have any left by the time the aircraft gets to the coast.

The world's favourite airline?  To fly, To Serve?  Not judging by last year's flights

I hope they will be better in 2017 than 2016 - Please report your findings…

[Lizilu20]

Yes please Onelove, look forward to reading all your adventures in winter.

Where's DRBD? I really enjoyed your updates last year too.

Are you still wearing crocs BL? I find that with the holes, my toes either freeze together or get a bit wet this time of year 

[Blue Lizard]

How Rude!!  I can assure you I NEVER wear those hideous croc things ..I will have you know i am  a fashion icon and crocs do nothing for anyones street cred....The very thought of the telltale Squeak Squeak Squeak of a sweaty foot inside a croc gives me the eebeegeebies..and is also why ninjas don't wear them

Just catching up on EK...been a busy old time for me since the beginning of November and generally a terrible year for our family in 2016. Hoping for a much better 2017 and a bit more time to get on the forum would be good 
Having an op early this year...they keep cancelling it so who knows when that will be, but I will have a lot of recouperation time so you'll be sick to the back teeth of me on here. Looking forward to your posts, onelove and anyone else who is out there too please.
