At our Kalkan accommodation we buy all our produce (meat, fruit, vegetables, dairy, fish) locally, and where possible use fruit and vegetables grown organically in our own gardens. We try to encourage others, both visitors and locals, to adopt organic practices.
Erol was born & bred in this village, and this is the first new enterprise to be started here for many years. We were first to restore one of the old traditional farmhouses, then opened it as a small hotel, the only one in the village. All materials used in restoration and in building our own house next door are local and in keeping with the village, and we used all local workmen.
We bring only small groups to our Kalkan accommodation which do not disrupt village life, and try to preserve and promote the area's culture and traditions, and to discourage inappropriate development or speculation.
Yes - the local produce was all around us. You can easily spend the day without using a car and the people throughout the village and in the rest of Turkey were always very friendly, despite our very restricted knowledge of Turkish. Erol's cooking was first class and we ate in the property every evening.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
