Title: New member with BIG feet
Post by: Cliff on December 20, 2004, 17:53:11 PM: Hi
Just found the site which is wonderful, I want to find out more about Calis before going there in Sept 2005
Been to Turkey 8 times but never here

46 married and like more peaceful hols and trying to find a way of getting away without the help of the package groups. I live in the south west of UK near Exeter. Easiest place for me to fly from... so any offers of advice from anyone(not the rude ones!!) would be greatly appreciated

what a wonderful chappie you are, I shall do some research on the matter. I must say that I do feel very nervous about dipping my feet in the "arrange it yourself holiday" to Turkey, I have always taken the easy option. Ive done my own Hols to the USA. I have searched this site and definately need to get to Calis in 2005 it has whetted my appetite

Welcome to the forum
It's easy to DIY your hols, If you've done it in USA then Turkey should be a doddle.
Good luck
Anne

A great response ... you are all making it sound easy.... I'm starting to believe you!!

Whilst I'm on a roll.... I have been looking at the Camelia apartments... am I looking in the right place or should I be looking elsewhere ???

Oh and if you are feeling generous..... Transfers ????

Cheers

I forgot to mention my wife has mobility problems and can not walk great distances and uses a stick... so we dont want to be too far away from the action !!

Post by: Steve (redding43) on December 20, 2004, 19:33:18 PM: I have not stayed at the Camelia but know the owner (Cenk). He is a member on this forum and also is the estate agent that sold us our apartment.

I did visit the Camelia and thought it was nice. Others on the forum who have stayed will be able to give you more info.

Don't take the point of Cenk being an estate agent as being a bad thing ;o)

Transfers, contact Orange (another member on the forum), they have arranged all ours and we had no problems. You will find plenty of other posts about them if you use the search facility

Regards

I have booked my first DIY ever for next August. After lots of research I have gone for the Camelia Apartments, flights through Direct Flights.....its been really easy and Cenk and Olga have been brilliant, very quick at answering my wittering emails and putting my mind at rest.
