Hi everyone,

Just a quick new member intro, I'm Neil and I will be flying out on Friday will my fiance Louise to furnish our apartment in Hisaronu. Apols if I shouldn't be a member on this forum given that I have purchased up the hill but the Hisaronu forum doesn't have anywhere near the kind of advice, help and general community feel as yours!

We were both beginning to panic about how to find shops to furnish the apartment but a few hours of browsing members posts here has enabled us to sleep at night. We are now quite looking forward to the experience!!

Regards,

Neil & Lou

All the best there Biddy,

Erun or is Erin Spot seems to be the favoured place for the furniture.

All the best.

Steve

Hi Neil and Lou

Welcome to the forum.  Good luck with your furnishing - you will have a great time.  We are in Ovacik and went over to furnish last month - it was easy - Erun Spot is a must and there's a really good lighting shop in Ovacik (Ozan Elektrik).  We're going back over tomorrow so maybe see you there!

Linda and Colin :)

Hi Neil and Louise and welcome to the CBF which has a wealth of information to assist you with regards not only to your property purchase but any number of ancillary issues. Where are you flying from? We are going out to Ovacik/Hisoranu from Manchester tomorrow morning at 9am. We purchased a place there last year and can appreciate your thoughts at the moment. Rest assured everything will be OK but please do feel free contact if we can be of any further assistance. Good luck TT.  8)

Thanks for all your welcomes!  I have been looking for directions or address details to the Erun Spot shop but cannot find them, can anyone point me in the right direction? Also I am purchasing fixtures and fittings such as lighting etc but I don't really want to be doing any DIY (!), can the shops arrange for someone to fit them for you?

Yes usually they can do anything. Dont worry it'll be great and of course you're welcome on here, even though you're up the hill! There are plenty of members who are over it and they're not excluded!( joke before I get bombarded). Oh and welcome by the way.

Cheers Puma, i have just found the website with a map so should find it ok. Do you have to pay extra for them to fit the lights, curtain poles etc or is that included in the price when you buy?

when you go in and barter make sure you tell them that it includes fitting pronounced (mon tarsuh) (this is how it  sounds when we say it not how it is spelt in turkish. cheers

Biddy,
Every shop's prices should include "MONTAGE",(just say it as in French,) but as Puma says, MAKE SURE FIRST!!We bought all of our light fittings from Fethiye Avize, in Patlangic (Fethiye), very special shop, very special prices, but all electrical shops charge for fitting,Not expensive,but arrange it youself, as one of our friends did it through their ESTATE Agent, and paid 4 times as much as we did!Just br careful, and enjoy the shopping experience. We are permanent residents and will give you all help possible. Welcome to Paradise..Gordon &Loz.
