My partner and I have booked 2 weeks in Kalkan this September but we have just found out that he is needs a hip replacement early summer. My partner is in his 30s so this has come as a shock! The operation is planned for July giving him about 6-8 weeks to recover before our holiday.
Many people have commented in Kalkan threads that it is a very hilly town so I'm a bit worried that he won't be able to get around much. Is it really that unaccessible for the infirm?
We dont plan to hire a car so would be using taxis or the dolmus for trips.
The apartment we have booked is a 10-15 minute walk downhill. Taxi's will defo be required coming back uphill!
The doctor has said that within 6-8 weeks he will be back to normal health but may need a crutch for additional support if he feels he needs it.
We went to Lanzarote last year and he had a broken foot (I know!) and even though the roads were fairly steep, that didnt turn out to be a major problem. So I dont know if I am worrying about nothing.
Any thoughts Kalkan lovers?
