Title: The new Sun Camp Restaurant
Post by: Scunner on July 11, 2011, 11:58:39 AM
There have been a few topics started about Sun Camp Restaurant, Cafe and Bar which is on the way down to Koca Calis (next to the Surf Club). Claire (one half of Birol and Claire who opened the restaurant) has sent me some photos and it really is worth me sharing them - it looks wonderful! Parts of the facilities took a little longer than they had hoped to get opened, but it should all be smooth now...

The restaurant is open from 8am till 'late' (I hope they appreciate what "CBF late" means!!!) and this is the important bit for some...are you listening...Happy hour is 18:00 till 20:00 EVERY evening - yes, a happy hour two hours long  8)

The beach is looked after, clean and litter free and they have 60 sunbeds with both natural shade and awnings if you prefer to be out of the sun. Regulars to Calis will also be well aware of one of the trump cards of that area - the breeze is lovely down there. Sun Camp Restaurant & Bar which comfortably seats 48 people is open from 19.00 every evening and offers a unique ‘Meyhani' type setting with the option of tables being set up on the beach on request.  Specializing in traditional Turkish food the emphasis is on delicious home-made mezes, seafood and fish.  A selection of chicken dishes, as well as a childrens menu is also available. I sadly have no idea what Meyhani is  :-\

Open from 19.00 every evening soft classical guitar is played every Saturday.

Birol and Claire have been close and dependable friends of ours for many years and there aren't two more helpful people in the whole of Turkey. I'm sure you will be well looked after. I just read back what I have written so far and it does sound a bit like an advert - well it is!!! It is a free advert from CBF & I hope this topic will help pack their restaurant every night, and if it doesn't, maybe these photos alone will...:D

Will certainly be paying a visit in the very near future. We dealt with Claire when she had Sunmed and she really made our Turkish dream come true when we bought in Mandarin Apts, so all the best for the future for Claire and Birol, two of the nicest people you will ever meet. Great advert Keith

I thought of you Maria when writing it (I think about you a lot!!!) - apparently there is just soft background music around the bar area - reminded me of the day I turned up at Kum City Beach Park, just in time to see your beloved other half leaving - not due to nose bleed but more ears bleeding from the ridiculously high volume pumping music they had on! I don't think Shaun would need to leave this place for that reason!

The breeze was perfect,the sea clean and everyone wants to return for another chilled out day very soon 8)

Please do cheffy, a full report would be great :D - that menu sounds hand picked for me so I'm doubly envious that I can't join you :-\. Claire is lovely and Birol has been everything to me - a friend, business associate, mentor, also like my Turkish dad - I don't think he likes that one too much as he isn't that much older than me :D Get Birol to sit down long enough to hear some of his tales and you'll maybe find you need more than an hour  :)

I have been a member of this forum since we bought our apartment in Tasyaka from Claire in 2004.
Picked up lots of usefull information over the years and enjoyed reading the posts.

Well 7 years later I've finally posted!! Just wanted to add my bit about the Suncamp. Spent several afternoons/early evenings there with Claire  & Birol over the last couple of weeks. Fantastic location, really relaxing. Charming company, it was lovely to meet Claire & Birol again. Wish them all the best for the future.. Juile says  "keep the Beyaz Sherap on ice Claire"! We will be back....
