Baz,
I accept that this was my first post, but I've been a member for a while and value the input from the Forum. I just felt the need to speak up for 2 guys who I know from Calis, having been there and in their company the last 2 years. If the original post was an advertising puff then I agree maybe it's a bit naughty, but I'm sure it's not the first time and it wouldn't change my opinion of Lee. As for the Maya Bar I followed the hype and went there one night last year and was distinctly unimpressed by the welcome, although I can accept maybe that was an off night. If my opinion of what's good in Calis is really important to you, then -
Favourite Bar - Josephs
Beach Haunt - Cafe Soul (although that was mainly down to Serkan)
Best Restaurant - Casa di Mama's, with an honourable mention for Gunislik and Serkul 2 (despite Alex keeping us hanging around for half an hour waiting for a table last time)
We also go across to Fetihye for Mosaic Bahce and Okabasi.
Best Trip - Hiring a small boat from Calis for the day (we asked Joseph and he arranged it). The Jeep Safari from Karacay, led by Joseph who lives in Salford in the Winter, was also good, so good we did it in succesive years.
I would also recommend a day at Sugar Beach in Olu Deniz.
I hope that makes up for my lack of previous posts.
Cheers, or Sherifay as Tom Moss taught us to say.
BTW, not too worried about the price of Efes
