It's very busy here now
« on: July 06, 2016, 09:16:17 AM »
I expected it t be busy for the next week or two following the end of Ramadan, with usual amount of heavy traffic,  traffic jams along the routes to resorts, inconsiderate and downright dangerous drivers from out of town, and busy beaches.  But I don't think I have seen anything as busy as Fethiye and the surrounding areas have been, both day and night, in the last couple of days.  We took a friend back to Caragzola last night at around 11 o'clock, the town was heaving with Turkish holiday makers, and many of the shops were open too.  However, the journey to Caragozla from the market and back out to the Korden took over twenty minutes.  Just sheer volume of traffic combined with treble parking and of course the fuss you get when Turks try to park!!

How was things on Calis Beach Prom.?  Going there tonight so any info is me forewarned!!

Looks busy even with the unused sunbeds!!  That probably means this evening the Prom is going to be full of Promenaders going up and down, I'd better get in early for a seat where I want to go.

We went to Bella Mamas last night, lovely meal and nearly all the tables full,
And it was realy nice to see lots of people strolling up the sea front again,
And enjoying themselves on holiday.

Should have said that local businesses are making hay whilst the sun shines.  Local panysion hotels have new signs up in which the room rate has gone up from 40tl to 80tl a night.

I had a car pull up at my house and ask if I had rooms available for the next week.  :D

I have been told that Hisaronu and Ovacik and Olu rooms are all full.

I wont be venturing down the hill into Hisaronu or Olu until after Bayram - I remember the previous two years when going to the local Migros turned into a full on expedition. I don't know if, as in previous years, the jandarma have been stopping private cars going into Olu at the top of the hill.

Seen a few cars pulled over to the side of the road on the hill into Ovacik with steaming engines and can most definitely vouch for the insane driving of the out of towners on my trip to Fethiye today.

But the resorts are busy and the tills are ringing - all great news for the area.
