The future of golf in Turkey . Many of us among the expat community enjoy a round of golf now and
again. Unfortunately, none of us has gone so far as attempting to actually
develop and operate a “pay to play” golf course. While numerous outstanding
courses exist in the Antalya region, essentially only three can be found in
greater Istanbul. These are the Kemer Country Club, Istanbul Golf Club in the
Maslak/Levent district, and Klassis Golf Resort in Silivri. All three are
private, although guests of the Klassis Resort Hotel can play for a fee. Istanbul and Ankara certainly have a strong need for more golf courses,
especially public courses where one can pay a daily fee, rent a cart or hire a
caddy, and play whenever a tee time is available. Read

Kalkan
KALKAN TURKEY
Kalkan (Greek: Kalamaki) is a town on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, which averages of 300 days of sunshine a year. The area includes many historical sites and many fine beaches. The word Kalkan is Turkish for 'shield'.
Kalkan is an old fishing town, and the only safe harbor between Kaş and Fethiye; famous for its white-washed houses, descending to the sea, and its brightly colored bougainvilleas.
Until the early 1920s the majority of its inhabitants were Greeks. They had to leave the town in 1923 because of the Exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey after the Greco-Turkish War. They emigrated mainly to Attica, where they founded the new town of Kalamaki.
With much of the surrounding land still undeveloped and with many nearby remains of ancient civilizations, Kalkan is the ideal resort for those who want calm and relaxation, enjoy the natural beauty of the cleanest seashores, of rough mountains covered with pine forests, and also for those who want to explore the remains of the ancient Lycian cities in the neighborhood.
Lycia, "The Land of Light", which is the first known federation in history, included the many city states between modern day Fethiye and Antalya, and its capital was Xanthos (Arna in Lycian language), which is Kinik today, 17 km (11 mi) from Kalkan.
Kalkan was an important harbour town until 1970's as the only sea port for the environs. It declined after construction of Fethiye road but revived after the emergence of the tourism industry in the region.
Although part of the Antalya province administratively, Kalkan is connected more closely to Fethiye economically and for transportation.
British newspaper The Independent listed Kalkan among the best tourist destinations for 2007. The paper recommended Kalkan especially for those seeking a romantic vacation and who do not want to travel far from their home country in Europe, and defined the town as a destination of choice.
