Kalkan had an unexpected visitor yesterday (Friday 11th September). Taking shelter from the storm was one of the world's most exclusive, and distinctive looking yachts.

Yacht A is owned by 37 year old Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko, although it is said to have been bought as a present for his wife.  (What's wrong with perfume)?

It's a shame he didn't see Kalkan at its best, as the weather was less than welcoming.  Still, the shelter of Kalkan Bay must have been far preferable to being out at sea in such stormy conditions.  We took a few photos the following morning (Saturday) - see below. 

If you would like to know more about this mega-yacht, try the links below.  If you want one yourself, it will cost you a cool $300 million.
