Hi, welcome to the forum. In terms of His being chav, the key thing is that if you are adventurous, this will not be an issue. Just get on a Dolmus and explore, we have had a place in Ovacik which has a similar reputation but we love the place as it is about the Turkish people and their really warm welcome. We are still exploring the area after 4 years and there is still lots to see and experience.
Have a great time.
Kevin and Karen.
