If you are looking to print mine Ron, I will have the original somewhere which will be far higher definition for printing. Let me know and I'll email.

Not forgetting this "rascal" who, on our very first venture "downtown" from Buse (a far way up Baris Manco) persuaded us go into the establishment.



We later found out that his lovely wife's grandmother lived 3 miles down the road for where we stay - small world.

I think the original Post Office was situated where the Kerim hotel is now.

My first visit to Calis Beach (and to Turkey) was in 2010 when we stayed in Mellisa Villas close to the Tugay hotel, so I'm only a "pup" in terms of my association with the resort and in comparison with those of you who have holidayed and have sometimes eventually made a home in the area.

Along with many others, I love the place and still get that feeling of anticipation when I book the next holiday, even after around a dozen or so visits to various hotels and apartments in Calis.  Roll on 20th September and two weeks at the Oykun.

This thread started by Ron prompts me to ask if any of you have kept any photos of Calis bygone years which you would be willing to post on CBF and to share some of your memorable moments.    :)

I agree with Maria1949 the Post Office Restaurant was where the Kerim is now.It looked onto the water taxi's. Maurice used to park his pink american car outside.

While we are down Memory Lane, does anyone remember an odd restaurant/hotel called Anil Sailor. It was located in a little hamlet half way along the road from Calis and Gunlukbasi (when there was open countyside between the two) on the right side of the road going inland. We walked there for a drink one evening back in the late 1990s and they appeared perplexed that anyone, apart from family, should think to come in off the road and sit at one of their tables.

Know it well Colwyn,we had an apartment near it (Lemon 4 ) and as you say not much going on there, We did call in one evening for a meal/ drink about 9pm but the barman said they had finished serving.
He very kindly took us to the Kemelkara on the Baris Mancho in his car which he recommended.
Only in Turkey    :)
