I noticed that Murat has moved on from the Sundial, has anyone any knowledge of the new owners?
-
Sea Breeze (Ovacık) have taken it on.

As a tourist and not a resident however having spent over 6 weeks a year for the past 5 years holidaying in Calis and Fethiye I've dined at the Sundial on several occasions, Murat altho a little eccentric has always been the perfect host, the food always of a high standard at a price not usually associated with a venue situated in such a prominent awe inspiring beautiful location. Collecting us from our Villa in Calis and returning us home safely at the end of the night. I've always said that the location especially as a wedding venue hasn't been utilised to its full potential, we have friends who have married there and have been very happy but they haven't used the accommodation focusing on the venues outstanding location especially at sunset. The geographical location hinders its development into a 3,4 or 5 star accommodation . Another favourite of ours is the Olive Garden in Kabak, fabulous location great food but people are happy to holiday there in wooden sheds. It's horses for courses I think. 5 star and concrete or outstanding views and a little sacrifice with the creature comforts, I know where I prefer

A fabulous night at the Sundial with friends. The refurbishment is excellent. It is obvious that so much thought, money, time and effort has gone into bringing this wonderful venue up to date. It really is the jewel in the Fethiye crown now. Food excellent as expected. Prices much as before although some new additions to the menu too. The dearest thing on the menu was a 450gram 21 day matured steak was 90YTL but when you think you are talking about almost half a kilo of top quality steak, that seems very reasonable. ;-) but if that is not for you there are plenty of other options. Lovely to see Tufan's smiling face again and to meet the lovely Nadine. We will be back in September.

Incredibly I have never been to the Sundial. Sounds good - I may have to try it. Do they still pick you up? There was a minimum number of people for that - is that still the case? If so how many is it?
Ta!
-
Six as I understand
-
Ok I need to find two friends.
In Calis.
Hmmm.
-
I asked the same question about the pickups the other day on the Sundial fb page, they said if there are less then 6 they operate. Shuttle service from I think wherever the dolmus stops near to the Sundial if that makes sense,they did tell me which dolmus I would need there were two choices, Tasyaka and another I will look it up and post on here bit later ;)
-
I would have thought it was abit of an uphill walk from the Tasyaka dolmus..
I asked on Facebook about transfers/pickups for the two of us but didn't get a reply so we didn't go. But maybe we will try again in September.
-
Why does everyone expect to be picked-up by restaurants ? If you can't get there by dolmus, get a taxi !
-
If they don't pick up I'll go to somewhere that does ;)
-
It's a bit off the beaten track KKOB for anyone and a climb up the mountain from the dolmus...previous owners prefered to pick you up rather than taxis using the track to the hotel- maybe due to an agreement with local residents?
-
Thought I heard there is a button at Dolmus station to ring send done one will come down and collect.
-
if kings garden can do it why not sundial,maybe later in season when they get more people in .
-
Exactly my thoughts Lance, Kings Garden would be my choice anyway over the Sundial. Lovely food, friendly staff, good enertainment and pick up there and back. We had a Sunday Lunch there last time we were over and for 17 TL to include three courses cannot be beaten, they also picked us up and took us back.
-
Anyone been to the sundial in the last couple of weeks? Is it worth the trtip to get there?
-
Four of us went this week and it was very good .slightly more expensive than the average restaurant but would definitely go again .
-
I also went last week, the food was excellent, and the service right on the metal. As a result of the change of ownership and environment it has lost some of its 'rustic' charm! But for anyone going for the first time, they could only be impressed with the new ambiance. Yes, it is slightly more expensive than many restaurants in the area, but for me, well worth it.

Did they pick you up and drop you back??
-
It would be great if they did do pick up's
-
They do pick ups for parties of 6 or more
-
Yes, I knew it used to be 3 or more, so obviously the new Management have stretched the number.
-
As well was home to restaurant and return transfers minimum 6 ,for anyone on the Dolmus route at the traffic light crossroads they have a taxi type bell system and will come and collect any number and take you up the Hill to the restaurant!
-
No Jacquiie, they didn't, we had a car so transport wasn't required. However, they didn't ask when I booked because there were only 2 of us and I understand they now require a minimum of 6 people.
-

Easy ! It's usually a free/ included in the price service provided by restaurants in more unusual places. Drivers can also participate in social drinking ! Expect ?? Nhaaaaa ! Boğaziçi has no service but will always go there more than Sundial! ;D ;D
-
I remember the days in Calis when all if the restaurants offered a free pick up service if you wanted to eat in their place... Long gone as is the free salad and bread at most places.
-
Might be a good idea to compile the restaurants in the area that do free pick up and drop off.
-
Yes, I knew it used to be 3 or more, so obviously the new Management have stretched the number.
The minimum of 6 for a free pick up was started by Murat a couple of years back....
-
We were told a few years ago, if you had 3 or more in your party they would pick you up. However, we had a car so it did not bother us.
-
My point was that the new management didn't stretch the number it was already set at 6....
-
My pont was, when the last guy had it we were told it was 3 or more... so, it seemed to me it had been stretched. Anyway, i don't really care as I would not be rushing back up there anytime soon.
