Melbourne is number 1 in the world for great street art. And Brunswick is one of the best areas in Melbourne to find good street art. Sunshine Lane in particular has a lot of quality murals.
The other great place to see street art is Valparaiso in Chile. We think Valparaiso should get more credit for its street art.

Spectacular, an unforgettable experience.
Enchanted by the breathtaking landscape, the vast azure blue water that rolls in high waves against the majestic sandstone formations and the rugged coastline. Fantastic to have experienced this.

We worked hard these past weeks to make the villa ready for next summer. The cutting of our lush garden is a huge job. Thank you Muhammet and team. Your boys are amazing. It looks dangerous, but they are very careful we noticed.

Winter in Kalkan has begun. With biblical rains, some Spicy cocktails and a fantastic Indian buffet with many friends at the fully booked Kitchen restaurant. Laughter, wamth and cosiness.

The cocktails of the award winning mixologist Hatip were amazing!

The weather is brilliant....enjoying one of these natural beauties.

Love Patara beach....and I like a picnic at the place where the forest turns into the dunes....

It is pleasantly busy these days here. Is it because of the high entry fee to the beach via the normal road?

After all these beautiful sunny weeks a moody day is welcome!

The season Sundreamvillas Bella has come to an end. We are very grateful to all our guests. You came and enjoyed our villa in big numbers. Almost 27 weeks of rental makes us feel humble. We hope and wish that the whole of Kalkan had a good year. Even though the start was bumpy for many for various reasons.

Wishing everyone, guests, villa owners and other entrepeneurs, a well deserved break. And for those whose work now starts in construction etc., please keep Kalkan clean and quiet. Go to bed early!

See you all next year!

Now you can fly directly from the UK to Kayseri, the airport of Cappadocia.

Before visiting Kalkan.......soaring above Cappadocia in a hot air balloon? It is a breathtaking experience. The stunning views and serene moments create memories you'll cherish forever.

HOLIDAYS IN KALKAN.....
A warm summer evening. Turkish music tunes play as a background music. On the table delicious appetizers. There are always olives and you may dip your bread into its oil. You feel the mood of Mediterranean Kalkan. And you know what? Holidays in Kalkan do help you live longer because of that olive oil!

It is hard work...harvesting the olives...
They are harvested by hand and by beating the branches with a stick. It is a family happening. Since thousands of years the olive harvest is involving whole families.

From the end of October until February everywere around Kalkan you see old people sitting and kneeling on the soil under the trees. Aged women and men climb in trees to beat the branches.

With friends, Helen Özcan, Kasem Ahmad, Danielle Verbakel, Frenk and myself also harvest the olives from our trees and the trees of some friends, of Jaspel and Leanne Gardner.

TREE OF LIFE....
One of the latest longitudinal studies confirm the benefits of extra virgin olive oil, eating only ½ a tablespoon a day.

They reduced their chance of death from cancer by 17%

They reduced their chance of death from respiratory disease by 18%

They reduced their chance of death from cardiovascular disease by 19%

They reduced their chance of death from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s by 29%.

The scientists also studied a group that replaced the margarine, butter, mayonnaise and dairy fat in their diet with olive oil. These individuals reduced their chance of death by up to 34%.

This report confirms that eating olive oil does reduce your mortality risk. Could extra virgin olive oil be the key to unlocking the fountain of youth?

We harvested almost 250 kg of olives, 40 liters of cold pressed (27 degrees) oil.
