hello everyone - my wife Tracey and myself Nigel have recently found this forum and find it extremely interesting and informative. Following a holiday at the beginning of last year in Olu Deniz we returned in october to find a place for ourselves and 2 children(age 7 and 10).We looked at many different places before settling on one in Calis. This should be completed at end of May, and are looking forward to coming out, although the prospect of arranging the furniture etc does seem daunting.However after reading other members comments,we feel much more at ease.Thank you.

Hi Nigel and Tracey.  Welcome to the forum and good luck with your place in Calis.  We are going over early April to furnish our apartment and like you reading up on members comments does give you confidence.  I will post you when we get back to let you know how we get on.

Best wishes

Linda and Colin :)

Hi teite1
We went to Hisaronu for a weeks holiday in October last year and bought a apartment,i understand what you mean about buying the furniture, but if you click on the search at the top and write in furniture you will find everything you need and loads more.Good luck

Hi thanks for the replies - Its hard to explain where our place will be, except that it is in Calis and the road number (?) is ADA 2588. I have looked at the various maps on this site but cannot see ADA 2588 anywhere.
The wednesday night at the waterpark sounds ideal for the kids and definitely worth trying.
Thanks for the advice on the furniture.

Ada is island...........as in plot.
You won't have a street (sokak) number or road (yol) name on your deeds.Only the area...ie: Gunlukbasi.

Hi everyone ,
Can't fathom out how you enter as anew person!!

My name is well Mary!
Anyhow I am thinking of moving to Turkey But scared to death also. I won't to buy a home for my retirement. At the moment I don't have life and life begins at ......!
So please any ideas problems I may encounter please say won't you all.
I am looking forward to visting Turkey and can you suggest any places I should avoid?
I am looking for house, with maybe sea and country views.  I also have two dogs and I have realised from viewing the forum you can only bring one!!
How do you choose when you love them so much?
Does it matter if you cannot speak Turkish?
What about renting somewhere before your house is ready , this is obviously supposing I can buy somewhere new?
Any help or advice would be brilliant please.

I have two grown up children and have just become a gran!
But I live on my own and its a little daunting!
Will I be lonely . Am prepared to join clubs etc love gardening walking. and would learn Turkish.

Hi Mary

To introduce yourself as a new member go to "Member Introduction" and then click on the button at the top of the page which says "new topic".  It's as easy as that - good luck

Hello Gina & Rob.....We have just bought in Calis also.  Good luck and have fun with the furnishing!  It is such an adventure!  hehehe  I cant recommend Erin Spot more though.  They were great.  They delivered on time, and what they didnt have at the moment, they made special trips to drop off.  Really great.

Hi Mary....I didnt see where there was a thread with your hello.  Good luck with your move.  From what I have heard, there is a lovely British community who do a lot of activities together at the Golden Moon.  Line Dancing, Bingo, etc.  When I was there I saw a lot of people and all of them were super.  Im sure you will settle in quickly and find out what is going on.  Good luck and enjoy....it is so beautiful I could just sit on the beach all day and watch the water!  Are you going to be there end of March?  We are coming out and bringing mother in law. We could meet up for coffee or something - if we decide to move out it would be less daunting for her to know someone already.  

ps.....if you post a new message directly under the heading of Introductions, Im sure you will get more responses.  Your message is a bit buried here.

Hi Buster, welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase. For details of furniture buying either use the search facility, read through the threads on the good/bad shop guide or look up Bekirs profile (he is the owner of Eren Spot and his contact details should be in his profile. Good Luck.

everyone seems to speak highly of eren spot - does  anyone know whether they have bunk beds or if not anywhere else that might be able to supply them.
also can you pay by credit card as we are concerned with having to carry so much cash around if we have to furnish our place from scratch.
thank you
