Shopping deliveries
It is possible to arrange for a shopping delivery to be left at
your villa. Many of our guests will arrange for shopping to be left
on arrival, especially those who have a late flight, so that they

straight to the supermarket. Please contact us for further

fruits and vegetables
The abundant sunshine and fertile soil produces some delicious
fruit and vegetables. The best produce can be found at the local
markets in and around Kalkan, where there is great choice and
value.

Cheese
The local markets offer a very wide variety of local cheeses, made
from goats milk, sheep milk and cows milk. Several of them are
quite similar in taste and texture to some traditional British
cheeses - including cheddar. These are organic, and not expensive.
The cheese seller will allow you to taste before you buy. A wide
choice of delicious feta cheeses that are used extensively in local
cuisine are well worth trying to find one you like.
Bread
Supermarkets offer fresh bread baked by local bakeries every day.
A selection of white and wholemeal sliced and unsliced loaves are
available. We particularly recommend trying the local Simits (a
circular bread covered in sesame seeds) which is often served with
a traditional Turkish breakfast.
Wine,
beer and spirits
A lot of people are surprised when they come to Turkey and
discover that it is a wine producing country. Turkey is a very
fertile with lots of underground water. This impacts the quality of
grapes produced because the vine does not have to work hard to find
water. There are however some excellent wines available from some
regions of the country where the local conditions and, or
technology have countered this problem. Please find details of
these producers below.
Pamukkale Wine
Still Life is one of the most famous
wine producers in Turkey and has been producing since 1962. The
average price of a bottle is 400TL (£12 or $20) and they produce
all the most popular types such as, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and
Chardonnay. 30% of all the Pamukkale Turkish wines are exported
abroad to Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark and Japan.
Pamukkale wines are available in Kalkan supermarkets and
restaurants. Website address - www.pamukkalesarap.com/
Kavaklidere Wine
This Turkish wine producing company
was founded in 1929 and produces grapes in the Anatolia region.
They export to European, American and middle east markets and are
available in most Kalkan supermarkets. Kavaklidere have an
allegiance with a French wine producer in order to improve quality,
and have earned numerous awards for their wines Website address www.kavaklidere.com/gallery.aspx
Kavaklidere wines are available in Kalkan supermarkets and
restaurants. Despite a high level of taxation on wine, prices
remain reasonable, with prices starting at around 150TL (£4.50) in
supermarkets and 500TL (£15.00) in restaurants for a 70cl
bottle.
Beer
Efes named after the ancient
city of Ephesus, located near their Izmir brewery is Turkey's
favourite brewer. The clean refreshing taste goes down very well in
the warm Mediterranean climate and it available in all of Kalkan's
shops and restaurants.

(£1.50) for a 330 ml bottle and 60TL (£1.75 for a 500ml bottle) in
