Just got back. Brought back sun for 2 days sadly, now rain!!
Anyway, the Birlick has changed owners and is now called, The Merken bar & restaurant. Friends of ours who live permanently at Telmessos recommend the food. Apparently one of the best, biggest & reasonable mixed grills they've ever had - they were to stuffed they could'nt manage a dessert. The new owners have also put new plasma tv's in especially for the footie & like the Birlick have just started having Turkish nights.
In between the Sunset 1 & Sunset 2 is the new 5*hotel. They were working around the clock to get it open on time & did it!. The outside bar area is built on Stilts & are still standing after the quake.
Apparently, between the Sunset 2 & Surf Shack another 5*Hotel is in the planning! Also, big plans to develop the swap land adjacent to the Telmessos complex - plans can be seen at the Ciflik Belvedere
