Brenda and I have spent many, many happy times here but not when it looked like it does at the start of the video :D.

A very interesting video H, particularly seeing the wooden houses on the beach.  Here's hoping they have a good season this year   :)

Great Video H, thanks for sharing it.  As you know we stayed there too.  We always say the Letoon is in the best spot on Calis Beach.  Glad to see the old owners back, wonder will the staff come back too.
Do you know what happened to the little gay guy who worked there, he was so nice and always chatted to everyone, last time we went back for a meal he had gone, in fact we did not know anyone.

Jacqui - I think you must be thinking of Efe.

(http://s9.postimage.org/uy5malxor/efe.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/uy5malxor/)

He went to work in Oludeniz and then to an office job somewhere away from the area.

But he was back working at Oben's when we were last over.

The wonderful Nevra is back as Manageress with equally lovely Hulya working in the bar/restaurant.

Andy is also back at Letoon running the bar upstairs.

That's the guy H,  I remember the first time we called back for a meal and he came rushing out to greet us we were surprised he remember us at all. 
We will call in for a meal this year, looking forward to it.

I resent that.  >:(

I quite enjoy getting in touch with my feminine side but I do object to being called small - even if it is accurate :(.

Wow-A great video Highlander. Wish we had seen it prior to booking into the apartments next door. it looks better than ever.
That view from the virtual bar is unforgettable
Does anybody know who used the huts on the beach. We did see lots of these in Side not so long back. A local said they were municipal ?
We remember Efe who was a really nice guy although a bit tortured at the time. We hope he is doing well now.

Yes suehugh Efe is a really nice guy and yes sometimes troubled.

We spent some very pleasant evenings in the upstairs bar in Andy's (and Bora's) company. Such a wasted space in the past.

There is no better place to watch the sunset (well maybe Guvens :D).

My pleasure puma.

Bora and his staff are trying hard to make Letoon a success and Brenda and I wish them well. The roof terrace bar is certainly a very good addition.

I do have to say that Alif and Debs and their staff over the years made sure that our holidays at Letoon were very, very special.

I am sure that Bora intends to ensure that future Letoon guests enjoy the same wonderful holidays.

May I suggest that new members have a look at the website and see what they think.

It is a fabulous location.
