Love KTLN.  Love Kalkan.

What are the KTLN core values?

Excellence in design
A clean, simple website.  Clearly signposted information, specially designed for Kalkan lovers.  

Quality of information
The KTLN team aims to provide you consistently with information of the highest quality and accuracy.  Dedikodu yok.

Innovation
Through innovative thinking and the innovative use of technology, KTLN will bring you a number of first class features.  For example, stunning webcam views from six KTLN webcams, an interactive map of Kalkan, and our online business directory. 

We also have www.iKalkan.com, which delivers KTLN in a mobile friendly format - ideal for your iPod, iPad and Blackberry.  And from March 2011, we introduced our very own KTLN Kalkan Weather forecast, which includes a 14 day outlook.

Independent & impartial
Our sole focus is on providing you with news and useful information.  We are not tied in to any particular business.  KTLN is not trying to sell you anything.  In other words we are truly impartial, independent and focussed on you.

Free to use
KTLN can be accessed completely free of charge.  Nobody here gets paid. 

Respect
The content of this website will respect the Turkish nation, its people and culture.  KTLN will not publish material that is likely to cause offense, nor will it comment editorially on political matters, or other topics of a sensitive nature.

Community spirit
This site is for Kalkan lovers, by Kalkan lovers.  We invite all members to become part of this KTLN community and help us to make this the first choice news portal and reference point for Kalkan. 

We also invite users of this website to support The KTLN Trust, a UK based fund for the benefit of Kalkan.
