Title: Seasons started
Post by: blueclad on April 01, 2018, 10:41:43 AM
How nice to see that the season has started with around 7 uk flights  each day  during the past few days  to dalaman .
With only 8 weeks to go until our 3 week  chill out in Calis we are counting the days off to enjoy meeting old friends in calis area and the various eating / bars ect places .

look forward to going to the new location  meir bar and see who has the beach house for this year as we cant place the faces to the names of who run it ,  plus our 2 favorites Gunisik and Obens.

Roll on June  8) :-*   :)

Just over 5 weeks to our first visit of the year and we can't wait to get back. It's been a long cold winter and the photos that appear on here keep us going   ;) 
Looking forward to our first morning walk down the prom in the sun stopping to chat to everyone   8)

Around eight weeks till we're there too.  It's not coming quick enough for me, it's been a long, cold, miserable winter.

Bloody tourists,  only joking,  Friday was a strange day seeing the increased number of people & businesses opening up that had previously been closed & the more people obstacles to navigate when cycling on the front,  heard today mobility scooters are banned from the front from the 1st May,  believe that when I see it, A good idea I think for non elderly / disabled people as to many are ridden by lazy speedsters,  Hope anyone coming has a great holiday.

Agreed if you meant "elderly" as opposed to "non elderly".

Beautiful photograph - I love the hues after the sun has disappeared - magical. Thanks for sharing   :)

Yes sorry meant elderly as seem to be ridden by more & more able bodied people & usually at reckless speeds, Though I love riding my bike along the front I do cycle slow enough to avoid people, dogs (less around now & if you know pinkie (brown dog had a pink nose)he was found poisened the other day) & youngsters.

Had our first drinks of the season in Joseph's last night, Have been in Stardust twice so far but only for party's,  Think the blue hue lights will put a few people off going there in the evenings.

Thanks for photo praise,  even with a basic phone camera the sunset looks great.

Disappointed to learn that mobility scooters are to be banned from Calis front.  We were intending to hire one for a few days when we visit Calis again for two weeks in September, to help my son in law who has mobility difficulties due to illness, to be more comfortable when "promenading.

Ah well............Que Sera  :(

I wouldn't worry about it Dennis - motorbikes, mopeds etc have been banned from the seafront for years (resulting in a 0% reduction in motorbikes and mopeds on the seafront).

12 weeks this Friday for us, It can't come quick enough!! I'm really hoping the development along the front will be finished, looking forward to cycling pretty much all the way along the coast & seeing what they have done.

In response to one of the posts above, we tried the Beach house for the first time last year & ended up going back a few times, good entertainment & lovely food we wished we'd been before, fingers crossed no major changes!

Stardust? I don't think i've seen this one, where is it & what do they do?  :)

Stardust is on the right hand side of the main drag if you are walking down to Calis Beach, just after The Brothers restaurant. It was the Oceania last year.

After surviving a baking hot July last year, we are returning to our usual month of choice, October. Our twin girls, who grew up in Fethiye, will celebrate their 18th birthday there too.

Yeah I know :o

In Fethiye for 8 days from 7th May then a longer stay in September.

Just changed our May accommodation from Letoonia to Orka  - after much thought we rather fancied a town centre hotel and eating out more.

September in usual apartment in Tuzla from 30 Aug for 3 weeks.

My own fast - diminishing health may mean a disability scooter for my stays. Any thoughts on supplier(s) most welcome.
