A panel organized by the
Governorship of Kas called ‘ The Future of
Kas-Kalkan-Patara and Regional Preservation’ was held on June 28, 2005
at the Aquapark Hotel in Kas. Also participating
were members of
Çekul (The Foundation for the Promotion and
Protection of the Environment and Cultural Heritage).
A presentation made by Kalkander proposing the
establishment of a ‘Lycian Civilisations Research Centre
and Museum’ was well received at the panel, resulting in
the full support of Cekul. It proposed converting
the historic, now unused Kalkan school
(former Mustafa Kocakaya primary school located next the
bus station and taxi rank) into the museum. The
project, in conjunction with the Akdeniz University's
archaeology department, is planned to go into practice
in the near future. All parties involved are very
enthusiastic, believing that the project would create a
beneficial transformation for the town of Kalkan and its
environs and bring attention to the great historical and
cultural importance of the area. |
