HI, very new member, just the dark side of forty, married with two relatively easy to please children (10 & 12) Coming out to Calis end of may for a week, 1st time back in turkey for 18yrs, loved it then but as i was nearly eaten alive by the mossies (? late nyts..) decided to give it a miss whilst the kids were younger, staying at ozcem appts, only read 1 review but it looks nice. Anyway, if you don't mind me asking, what should we not miss whilst there, what to definately avoid, are turkish baths suitable for kids as ours was very gruelling as i recall! Will i find the sunday market and that should do for starters. many thanx Mari $:-\$

To answer one part:

You are right about the previous mozzie situation - 4 years ago I would be responsible for banishing around 4 or 5 of the pesky little blighters from our house each evening. Nowadays, 1 or 2 a week is more normal - one hell of an improvement.

You do seem to get certain places that get quite a few all at the same time, but I couldn't say it is one bar or restaurant, just any one now and again on a very random basis. It's rare too, but all you have to do is move on if it happens to you!

Hi

I stayed at the ozcem apartments last year with my family and we are staying there again this year. They are lovely so rest assured!

I'm re-assured, tx. No doubt will get to the sunday market, but roughly how far away is it, walkable? Also, how long is the walk into Calis, so i can preparemy intrepid offspring! Mx
