Sunny Coventry in the West Midlands.  Famous for Lady Godiva, The jet engine (my grandfather hand shaped the rotor blades on the first prototype), tricycle, Jaguar cars, Alvis, Triumph, the Enemy, the Specials, King and being bombed by the Hun in 1941.  Unfortunately out of the ashes a s**thole was built  ;)

Now residing in Perth Western Australia, but planning to retire in kalkan in 4-5 years.

From Preston in Lancashire.

Just back from our first visit to Kalkan. 

We had an interesting time and may come back next year, so decided to stop lurking and join the website.

Hello Bigbird
Glad you took the plunge, if you've hovered about on the borders for a bit, you'll already know that this is a great place to keep your Kalkan memories going that little bit longer ...

if you've got any Kalkan memories of your first visit that you'd like to share ... we'd like to hear them!
Cheers
Lorilou

Hi Bigbird
Glad you enjoyed Kalkan and joined this forum.
We are one from Preston and one from Longridge.
Malc knows someone with the nickname Bigbird and was wondering if it is you. If so, you would be a lady in your fifties.

Hi

Thankfully I am not  (at least for a good few years yet) 50 or yellow. However, I am a 6ft3 redhead with a lively dress sense, so the Bigbird nickname was more or less inevitable.

I will get around to writing up my thoughts about our trip, although having to compete with the likes of Antler is a bit off putting as I don't quite have either his descriptive skills or fabulous glass is completely full (no in fact its self filling and overflowing) outlook on life.

Noooo BigBird - your writing skills are great! I can almost hear your voice as I read ... and want to hear more. So when you get a chance to catch your breath, let's have it, warts and all.

Cheers for now

Originally a Swinton Lad......but now an old Tyldesley bloke. Place of a famous witch. Fidimax you live closer to the Black Pudding origin now, than you did before (or so I believe) Jack Morris from Whipple tree farm Westhoughton is the Black Pudding Company master. Of course he sells them in Bury. "E by gum, its grand init!" Pass meet mustard!

Hi,
I live in Brighton, which can be lovely.  In fact I think that due to the fact it has the sea, beaches and restaurants it needs to be twinned with Kalkan - and I volunteer to be the local ambassador! ;D

I am from Dublin, Ireland, but live in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, Scotland.  I have been visiting Kalkan for about 10 years now and love it.  Its my second home.

There are very few from London - we are. My wife is from Knutsford. We have a 16 year old boy. Normally we resemble a hotel - at this time of year we are on our own. If there are any other teenagers who want to meet up be good to hear from you. W

From Leicester in the East Midlands. We gave the world Walkers crisps, Pork Pies, Gary Lineker and the Attenborough Brothers !

Don't quite know where to post this question ?
We are looking to buy a highchair for our villa "Villa Sienna" in Kiziltas. My husband is in Kalkan at the moment but as most places are closed he tried Kas but still couldn't find a highchair - will he have to go to Fethiye ?

Thanks
Tracey

New to the forum but just love it. I am from Inverness in the Scottish Highlands - not at all handy for Heathrow! A trip to Kalkan involves a flight to Gatwick, transfer to Heathrow and an overnight stay there before flying the next day. the same happens on return in reverse. We love Kalkan so much this does not put us off and we are returning for the 9th time in May!
