Obviously not a good, small operator.

They've gone bust.

Exclusive Escapes have gone bust.

Not for the first time if I remember correctly.

Exclusive Escapes have never gone bust before. The owner of this though was one of the owners of Tapestry, which did go bankrupt a few years back. The other owner of Tapestry reformed the company as Tapestry Collection and went bust again. But nothing to do with Exclusive Escapes as they had both gone their separate ways. And I do think it was a good small operator, though fairly expensive, which maybe in the current climate did not work.booking.com seem to be taking lots of business, which is fine so long as flights can stay relatively affordable. Will as many flights still operate as just flight only or do operators need to sell holidays also?

Well it seems to be pretty quiet this week. Maybe the Brits are heading home? Not sure but Koca Calis is much quieter ()

Catch up KKOB.  The children in Scotland went back last week.  The English kids start going back next week.

This is from a local resort facebook page and was posted today:

Went to Olu Deniz last night & was really disappointed frown emoticon The plan was sunset, stroll on the beach then have a nice meal. The beach was disgusting frown emoticon full of litter, fag ends & poo!!!! frown emoticon
I know we went at the end of the day but even so it was still bad "/ The prices for food & drink are much dearer down there. I get beach location prices but not that much 15 lira for a bottle of Efes "/
So we ended up getting a taxi back into Hisaronu & eating there.
IMO Calis beach is much nicer, less people, & very reasonable prices.

I'd have been disappointed too if there had been frown emoticons scattered all over the place.  :)
