Title: Has Ovacik changed in the last five years?
Post by: Daffodil on January 30, 2015, 15:47:46 PM

Hi, have not visited Turkey for a few years and wondered if Ovacik has changed much since we lived there five years ago? When we last were in the area the council offices in Hisaronu were not finished either and wondered if they had ever been completed.

Think you will see some changes in Hisaronu.  Take some ear plugs if you go in the evening.

I live here now but didn't know the place existed 5 years ago.

Can't say if it has changed a lot since you were last here, Fabian but it has changed since I've lived here in 10 months!

Yes it has changed. There is a lot more restaurants along the main road and as said some are very good.
Hisaronu is the same ish, mainly the same restaurants and shops just moved about a bit. It still has the crap fair.

Hi, Being situated at the far end of Ovacik near the petrol station, the new restauraunts are very welcome. The quality and service has improved no end and are now within walking distance for us. The place still has it charm without being spoilt by to many businesses. I have had my home there for 10 years now and the pull is still the same... just cant wait to get back. Hopefully retiring there 2016.

Thank you for replying to my question. I am glad that the changes mentioned are on the positive side of things. There were signs of building going on up the mountain when I was last there and would have been sorry if there had been over development. I used to enjoy the occasional visit to Hisaronu or Olu Deniz and in the winter it is very quiet. I could not handle  the heat in Calis during the summer months and the gentle breeze found in Ovacik in the summer meant I was more comfortable during July and August. Once again thank you for your replies.

I think ovacik has changed for the better in that there are some great restaurants and bars, but they are fortunately restricted to the main road. You can still sleep peacefully in the apartments and villas scattered into the mountainside, although there are a lot more of them too now ;)
