Why have you set this site up? We wanted to bring Kalkan lovers something new and different. There are lots of websites dedicated to Kalkan, whether it is forums or business websites trying to promote a hotel, or an estate agent trying to sell you a villa. At KTLN we are not trying to sell you anything, we are simply trying to provide lots of useful and interesting information about Kalkan in one place. We think choice and variety is a good thing. We hope that you will find something that interests you on our site. Also see our article on the KTLN Brand.
Why do we have to register to use it? We want to know how popular the site is, and which articles people find interesting or useful. In order to do that we need to ask you to be a member. It's quite easy to do, and secure. We guarantee not to disclose your personal details to any third party.
Why am I asked to register every time I log in? You should only have to register once. When you register a cookie is stored on your computer so that we recognise you the next time you visit us, and you are automatically given access. If your security settings are at a level that does not allow cookies we won't recognise you when you come back to the site. No personal information is stored in the cookie and it is perfectly safe (and normal) to accept cookies when surfing the web. If you want to know what a cookie is please look here www.cookiecentral.com/faq/#1.1 What is the KTLN Feedback box for? Found on the left hand side of the home page, it is there for brief instant messages, but it is not meant to be a forum or chat facility. Examples of what it may be used for include general feedback on the KTLN website, and questions about KTLN website content and functionality. For example, if we have got something wrong, you can point it out here. It may also be used by the KTLN Admin team (TopCat & admin) for brief news alerts or reminders. Members may also post breaking news if they hear something interesting.
If you have detailed comments or observations about any of our articles you may want to consider posting your thoughts on a forum, but please don't use the KTLN Feedback box for such comments. We would also respectfully ask members not to use this facility for general 'chat' messages. We reserve the right to remove comments, to stop this facility turning into a forum or chat room. We just don't have the resources to monitor and manage such things. Sorry. Where are your webcams? The original KTLN webcam is on the mountain side between Bezirgan Road and Kaş Road, overlooking Kalkan Bay, and a bit of Kalamar Bay. A second webcam was launched in July 2009, and is located next to the Mavi Bilgisayar office, on the second floor of the old Belediye office, on Kocakaya Caddesi. In October 2009, we introduced our third webcam, which provides great views over Kalamar Bay.
Can we have more webcams? We introduced a second webcam, located in Kalkan town in July 2009, and a third in Kalamar Bay in October 2009. We are working on a fourth webcam, possibly in the town centre. Let us know if you have seen any other good Kalkan webcams. What are the star ratings for? Each article on this website can be awarded a star rating. They are not important for ordinary articles, however we would like members to use the rating system for businesses in our Business Directory. So if you have had great service from a shop, restaurant, or any other business, why not give it a good star rating to let others know. One star is not so good and five stars is excellent. You could also give star ratings for Places to Visit - not a rating on our article, but on the place itself. Are you going to have any pages in Turkish? There are no current plans to do this. To translate the site would be a major undertaking. Plus, Kalkan already has an online local news service in Turkish. Some of your Local News articles appear to be incomplete. Why? On the Local News summary page if we have a long article we only show the first few paragraphs. To read the full article simply click on Read more... Some of your Business Directory entries have photos, but others don't. Why is that? Setting up this website out of season means that some places may not be looking their best, so in some cases we have decided to wait before taking a photo. It is not ethical to lift a photo from another website, so we don't do that. If there are any KTLN members out there who have good exterior photographs of any Kalkan businesses, we would be happy to take a look. Please contact us. I clicked on a link to another website, but it doesn't work. Why is that? We provide links to many websites that we think will be of interest to our members. However, we are not responsible for the content of other websites, and they may change or remove a web page without us knowing. It could also be the case that the server of the website you want to look at has a temporary problem. If you give it time and try again, it may work. If you find a link on our website that does not work, please tell us and we will investigate.
