As this thread seems to have turned into some members seemingly using Hisaronu to justify their move, sell up, likes and dislikes. Some of the reasons would indicate that some little thought was ever made in the earlier days as to how an area could change for good or bad and some of the other reasons are just laughable.
For a couple who have spent almost half their life in Ovacik over the past ten years, initially giving ourselves maybe five years then move on. No bones about it the weather was and is still the big draw, Turkish people ,food scenery etc have been a great bonus, and we do appreciate the health benefits we have gained with our life here. We have travelled this wonderful province of Mugla which is easy and inexpensive to do as is the many other places in the wider Turkey. Anyone taking the time to travel will find the roads are very good and being improved all the time. We will move on at some time but will never find the need of an excuse. From day one have accepted the differences in all aspects of life in Turkey. Trying to compare Turkey with the UK in most ways, just don't do it.
We do love the UK, it is in our opinion the best place in the world to Live. Appreciating we all have different reasons to try the Turkey life, knowing we are very lucky to have have had the opportunity to have this experience our way.
