Nick brought home a copy of The Sunday Times guide to buying a property in Turkey the other day from the office (News International). Of course the first thing we did was to turn to the pages about Fethiye and the surrounding areas. It has a little bit of information on Oludenis,Hisaronu, Gocek, Kalkan etc etc. I was delighted to read "for a forum on calis and surroundings, visit www.calis-beach.co.uk/forum". A name check for CBF. Well done scunner! :)

If its the same publication the author got a lot of their material from this site-he came on and after gaining agreement from Ketih I believe, he asked for people willing to be interviewed. There will be some 'familiar names' in the case studies!

Bloody hell, are we famous? [:o]

Do you recall who that was, Cavfan? I remember some geezer asking for permission to post asking for interesting stories, but he was doing something for Primelocation.

I bought the book for Gods sake!
I'll have a look tonight and let you know- we're on page 47 i think- and what a load of rot we talked in those days- buying to rent - what a load of tosh!

The book is
The Sunday Times- buying a property in Turkey - authors John Howell and Tim Locke- a Cadogan guide.
on page 253 there is a reference to Useful websites- and right under the British Embassy and above the foreigna and commonwealth office is the forum!
I've just re-read oour quote again- uurgh!

Oh its just really cringey - about how we were unlikely to stay in it and we'd continue to stay at the hotel and just rent ours out! I remember genuinely thinking that.once we'd furnished it though and it was all done I also remember standing on the terrace and thinking 'as if'!
