Hi everybody, been meaning to introduce ourselves for the last couple of weeks but havn't got round to it, 'till now!!
we are Pauline & Paul and we live in Strood in kent. we are both the wrong side of forty, and got bitten by the calis bug about 3 or 4 years ago.
In September 2002 we took the plunge and bought an unfinished (shell) new built 3 bed villa in a coop (group of 12)just up the road from the Zakum appts. and yes we had all the same worries as a lot of you have expressed about the purchase and getting the work done,but im glad to say we need'nt have worried as we had a very smooth and proffesional service' provided by European estates (Jo) for both the purchase and most of the work needed to make it habitable.
Also, like a lot of you, we have been lucky enough to have found some very genuine people, like Janet and Maria (at Maria's bar), Bekir (erin spot),Tonsu(bus stop)Hulki(bambu)and just about everybody we have met in Calis who have all helped us to realise what might have always remained a dream(or become a nightmare!),without them.
So if anyone is passing, we're on the road which goes past the Zakum appts, please say hello, we are the one on the corner,the first one you come to, as you walk down the road away from Zakum, in a group of 12(the green one,"yesil villa".
sorry if it's a bit long winded, but we do get very sentimental about Calis and could go on about it for hours (and often do!!),oh and finally, we have to agree with the comment about "the best breakfast at Maria's bar" but would like to add that any meal there takes some beating as do the Vodka / Brandy and cokes!!!!!
