That sounds really nice. Do they rent it out for short breaks?

As coincidence would have it, I am dealing with a body returning to the UK from Turkey today.  The flight costs were 662 Turkish Lira.  That, of course, would be in addition to any undertaker costs, charges made by doctors to sign forms etc.....

Of course. But you'll have to be quick. Others are dying to use it.

Kkob, calm down,  what I meant was in Spain it is a continuing 'custom' from the times when there was NO refrigeration. We know they have it now.

Someone asked if the funerals take place at night...maybe some do but we have attended funerals in the daytime.  As for medical treatment, through personal experience I can say in all honesty that it is better here than in the UK.  You also get treated much faster.  Yes you have to go to Antalya or elsewhere but Antalya is only a couple of hours drive from Fethiye.  If you have SGK it covers costs of chemo, radiotherapy, meds etc.  I have had to pay for surgery but only because I attend a private hospital.  The medical team looking after me are brilliant and I just cannot praise them highly enough  ;)  By the way, I believe surgery is covered by SGK if you attend a state hospital.

Antalya is only a couple of hours drive from Fethiye.

Are you still using those blue lights that went missing off the Trafik Polis car ?  ;)
