When I first visited calis in 2001 we stayed at Telomosse ,which I still think is an amazing little complex. We would go to Helen and Suats place for an evening meal with the kids . A few years later they both bought into 1881 , and ran that for a few more years .
Suat and Helen broke up and Helen did die about 5 years ago . Suat works with Max and Fuat at the Koca Calis restaurant. I have seen his photos on the Facebook page .
The one thing I will say about that little beach bar when they both owned it was that they gave amazing size shots in their drinks and the food was exerllent quality..fantastic BBQ Nights and lovely Turkish breakfast . Of all my memories that bar holds the best at that time . We go every year to that beach and spend a couple of days of our holiday there, and as I have said it has changed hand many times , and it now has lovely toilets and showers and it is really clean and organised .... but , I loved the shack bar that suat ran , with the puppies playing in the sand and the chickens walking round freely, to me that was the Turkey I fell in love with .
