I,ve been reading a lot about the Turkish inflation rate and the reports vary greatly.
How are the brit' ex pats living locally finding things, price wise ? I feel sorry for the
locals. I would imagine many are struggling.. Oludeniz Beach seems quiet for mid June.

I suppose that many forum members feel the same and they don't post on the forum because they have "nothing to report" :(
Luckily we managed to spend 9 days at the Remer hotel through Loveholidays in early May this year when most of the restrictions were eased. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this small hotel and were well looked after by all the friendly staff, especially Nevra at Reception who seemed to have a finger in very pie and was so helpful to us. I would recommend this place if you want to spend a quiet period away from the stresses of everyday life in the UK.
The usually vibrant promenade however, was so very quiet both day and evening............I've never known the place so "downbeat." Even though Covid lockdown is now behind us and most of the restrictions have been removed, a lot of would-be tourists will be concerned abut the increased cost of living and probably having second thoughts about going away on holiday. But once you get to Calis the exchange rate against the GBP is very favourable, so that somewhat offsets the travel costs. We didn't notice any major price increases in shops or restaurants.
Ever optimistic, we have booked into the Oykun for a couple of weeks in June next year so fingers, eyes, arms and legs crossed we will get to return to a place we regard as a "second home."
Good luck and best wishes to everyone on the forum and keep posting! :D :D

You could always find a shady corner in a bar on the prom with a few bottles of Efes :) :) Have one for me and enjoy your holiday.

Also got over for half term in May and again seemed fairly busy, not as many families with children as I would of thought but a promising start for business owners.

Welcome to the forum stevegong. If you trawl through posts from the past you'll find helpful, informative comments along with some which are happy, sometimes sad and occasionally downright daft (present company excepted of course :) ) Just like real life. However, in 12 years I cannot recall any major critical comments of Caiis Beach.........once bitten with the place, you are hooked and looking forward to the next visit.Thank you for your kind welcome Dennis.
I hope you enjoy your association with the forum. Cheers mate! :) ;D 8)
You guys seem very friendly and chirpy on here unlike some others.

Karizma is a must for that special meal, Sandinos as already mentioned is excellent and there is a fairly new tapas type restaurant called Cazibe which again is a must visit for us when we come over.
