If you mean the Kale Park, no, they are different.

Scott and lisa, yes they are different. Kings Garden has a great website, and if you contact Salih through here, he soon contacts you when he is free to confirm your booking.

Happy Holidays!

Uesed to go to Kale Park. It's only 5 mns from where we live. The sundays were ok. Then it changed manaegment and had half of it bulldozed down. Haven't been for about two years now but still hear the odd loud music (wedding) in the warm season

Kale Park used to be very good but part of it had to be demolished because they did not have full planning permission.  We haven't been for quite some time but the last time we were there is was beginning to look very tired and uncared for.

I have heard mixed reports about it - so maybe you should try it and see.   It has a wonderful position next to The Castle and views to die for.

Kale Park gradually went downhill.  We used to love to call up for lunch.  Last time we did there was one guy only serving and he was not a waiter.  We got chicken that was not cooked through and all the trapping of the restaurant had gone, even the coffee machine.  I would not recommend a visit, stick with the Kings Garden.    ;)
It's easy to take in the view without calling into the Kale, we have seen lots of people doing it.

Yes I agree with all of that - our early experiences of Kale Park were fabulous, the food was as good as anything we'd had in the Fethiye area and the service was the same. Sadly those days are long gone, we're happy enough to keep the memories. Would never go back unless things changed completely.

Sunday lunch at the King's Garden today was spot on; think I'll have to light the fire and rest up on the sofa and watch a movie now... really lovely to see some familiar faces too   :)

Regarding your point on the tour operators prices for the King's Garden set menus Nichola, I think you are absolutely right. In fact, when we were last there, two "representatives" of one of the big UK holiday companies were in negotiating like rottwelliers - claiming that they could bring coachloads of trade.

I'm fairly sure these are "unofficial" excursions and the reason the price is higher is that these people expect a cut of course.

Book direct with Salih, he gets the same profit, you pay less - as it should be  :)
