Members - thank you !
Even if we don't have time for much discussion, I've already, from your posts here, got a good insight into the resort before my arrival next Monday, July 16th.
This is the 3rd of 4 Turkish breaks this year - for the others, being in winter or early spring, I've managed to afford all-inclusive, in Lara Beach, Marmaris &, come December, Colakli (nr. Side).
This time my search was driven entirely by price, not location, & I'm spending 10 nts. B&B at Oykun...where the sight of the bowling rink raised hopes until I realised it'll almost certainly be too hot to go near it; nonetheless, if the location works, another time...?!
Many years since I went B&B or self-catering, so some ideas on which bars/restaurants might be worth a try were high on my list when I typed in Calis Beach; hope I've now got 3 or 4 of each earmarked for a try-out. Not sure what the Oykun's policy on evening meals for B&B guests is, but do hope that what they provide may be nice enough for a couple of evenings dining 'in' !
Anyway - if I get any thoughts between now & Mon., sure someone here will be all too able to put me straight...but if you're in town between the 17th & 26th, & see a lone Brit (66, lightly bearded, may well have a blue/red Nike back-pack, or be wearing a green 'Heineken New Zealand Open' - tennis ! - fleece of an evening), do say 'Excuse me, are you CJVONTHEJACK from the Forum?', & I'll be happy to stand you a beer (preferably not ALL of you) !
Thanks again for what you've already taught me. Cheers. Clive (Wiltshire based).
