Cheers Scunner, I've been called many things in my time but never a mad pioneer!
He would have hated the shacks dotted along the front,the uneven floors in the hostelries, the potholes in the road, the poor lighting,the limited menus, the holes in the floor that were the loos,the dancing bear on the beach, the long wait for food to arrive, the vast expanse of fields that ran from over the bridge up the to Fethiye road.
He would have also probably have completely missed the point of the wonderful people who were just getting used to tourism and had an innocence,genuine charm and willingness to help to make your holiday into a special event !
