Was anyone else out in Kalkan when the full moon party took place in the harbour. We were shocked that the powers to be, whoever they are, let the muisc be so loud for so long. It was louder than I remember back in places like Benidorm and Ibiza a few years back. We stayed in Komurluk and it was really bad there goodness knows what it must have been like closer into town. I hope it is not going to be a regular thing.

Seems strange as the police went into the Moonlight bar and Utopia and made them turn music down when we were there in june?

While we did not hear anything from the 'Full Moon Party' we were in town about a week ago and found the general atmosphere to be noisy and unpleasant. The worst offender was the Pasha Bar in front of Belgin's Kitchen. The music was so loud and offensive it could wake up the dead. We decided not to return to town until September!

Someone else commented that Kalkan is fast becoming a mini-Bodrum.

It was me that said about mini Benidorm but I was referring to Kalamar road!

I think all the bars try to compete with each others music, the Pasha bar always turns their music up when Belgin's Kitchen has their live music playing.

My son and his girlfriend have just come back from 2 weeks in Kalkan. One night whilst in town they said Pasha Bar had very uncomfortably loud music, and at first they thought they had strippers. These in fact turned out to be some sort of 'pole dancers,' 4 scantily clad ladies dancing on tables. I won't repeat their comments about the people watching in the bar, but they said the locals were standing at the top of the street looking distinctly uncomfortable.
They both felt that this was not appreciated by a large number of people themselves included. These two are university students(age 21) used to night life on the student circuit in Leeds. They said is was so out of character for Kalkan and embarassing to watch. I do hope that Kalkan won't try to head down the route of other destinations, with over loud music etc.etc. It would be such a shame if the ambience was spoilt and it became a victim of its own success.

I understand that the new Mohito bar, frequented by many local turkish people, periodically have russian scantily clad pole type dancers...I have to say - I dont like the way this is all going too...but make no mistake - it is not just the tourists responsible for these types of changes..!!

This is something that possibly the Mayor can do something about if enough people object to it. What if a petition is circulated, even online, to present to one of the people who participate in the Tuesday council meetings?

This sort of activity that seems to have started this year, needs to be stopped before Kalkan really gets a bad reputation. IMHO.

I really hate to say it but I think the bad reputation is already taking hold.

Yep - I can confirm that too from locals I have spoken to - some work out of aparts and villas empty during the winter...

just wondered when the next full moon party is!Sounds great!

The "dancers" at pasha bar were the Russians,pasha had a electronic party night starting at 10 .30pm until 03.30,plus laser show and free shots,as for locals being opposed to it,the pics I have seen show that probably 50% of the people in pasha are locals(facebook-pashabar ) It looked like a very busy night and this was number one of the nights,very nice russian ladies,take a look.
If pasha bar is making money,great,I have known Yusuf for some years now,and he has worked damn hard on Pasha,noisy,yes,not everyones cup of raki,maybe,but he has to make a living.
