Hot on the heels of Tourism Week, the Kalkan Restaurant Association would like to invite everyone to a special evening, on Saturday 24th April.

It's going to be fun, and it's free, so why not come along.

To celebrate the start of the 2010 tourist season, a party will be held at Aubergine restaurant, on Saturday 24th April, starting at 6pm, and ending just before midnight.

There will be a free open buffet, and a certain amount of free wine.  You can mingle with friends - there is no formal seating.

There will also be some great entertainment.  We don't want to spoil the surprise by telling you more, but there will be live music and dancing, and later in the evening, there will be a DJ playing good music.

Kalkan's Mayor, Saim Karakurt will be there, as will the Kaş Kaymakam, Süleyman Yılmaz, plus most of  the owners of the 31 restaurants in the Kalkan Restaurant Association.  We believe there will be a few short speeches.

Please note that due to these celebrations, the Aubergine restaurant will not be open for business in the usual way.
