Yes you may find certain people at Abra but there are also Aegaen, Seashell, Harem, Morning Star and many other places that are open in winter. There are bowling, darts and pool competitions, quiz nights, Zumba classes, Turkish lessons, coffee mornings, etc etc.
And about the supermarkets: Sok, Migros, Azda and Bim are open all year round.
