What worries you about being in the restaurants Susie?
Everyone is alright in the restaurants :)
-
Just sat there on my own lol
-
Awww you'll be absolutely fine - you will be looked after and maybe you won't be sat all alone for long :)
-
That's the thing, the sitting on your own bit, it makes people feel safer and more comfortable if they know someone, especially at the beginning. Its not so bad when you are in the hotel because you recognise fellow holiday makers at the other tables. Ive been on my own a few times and I know what Susie means. Sometimes you want to be on your own, and you don't really want it glaringly obvious that you're by yourself. Other times you could be longing for a chat. We should have a CBF sign! - like a red rose ha-ha!
-
We used to have tiny CBF pin badges (which someone took great pleasure in throwing away) and they were great - just a discreet sign. I wouldn't let someone sit alone on holiday without at least asking if they wanted to join our group - hopefully there are others like that :)
-
Wy don't you get some more Keith, it's a really good idea, especially if as you say they are discreet. If you feel unsociable you don't have to wear it! I was thinking of something like those little turkish eye on a tiny safety pin that are often given away in shops. All that aside, I agree that everyone will be very welcoming and friendly. It's that kind of place.

SusieQ- why not watch 'Shirley Valentine' before you go - then you can avoid the Jeanette and Dougie from Manchester types !
-
and avoid boat trips ;D
Susie you wont be on your own for long, many people eating out now as the weather is so good 8) many parties and events going on in various bars :)
-
You should be just fine... I've been out many times on my own especially when we first purchased back in 2003. People or so friendly...
Have a good holiday !
-
Booking a boat trip early on in your holiday might be a good idea. You may not meet someone else travelling alone but we have always found that people tend to introduce themselves soon after boarding and on small boats there is a very friendly atmosphere.
Have a wonderful holiday. :)

Have you had a look in Members dates for holidays in Calis Beach.
If a member has posted in there they may not mind you sending them a PM.

Are all those listed for 2013 or is it only the one at the top of the list.
-
Hmmm looks like you've only got Gav :D
-
I visit Calis on my own, and have had a great time each time I have been. I go to different restaurants and bars, and everyone is very friendly, and you won't feel alone for long! I am due to go to Calis again in a few weeks and can't wait!

Hi Susie
As an idea, you have your photo in your profile so how about posting a larger one so CBF members who live out there or will be out there would maybe say hello if they saw you? They are a friendly bunch (in general!).
-
I holidayed in Calis on my own some 12 years ago and continued to visit for many years before eventually living there for a couple of years and I always felt safe. Calis is a friendly place and the majority of people from the UK are very friendly and approachable and I am sure that some of them will speak to you when they see you on your own. The Golden Moon is a nice hotel in a nice location and the staff are friendly and helpful. Whilst Turkish people are friendly, you will probably be aware that lone women can sometimes be the focus of attention of some of the locals, just be careful BUT do not be afraid. Exercise caution just as you would anywhere. I am sure that you will love Calis and want to return again and again. Have a lovely holiday.

The boat trip sounds a great idea
