Noted today that the building next door to the Chemist in Calis is going to be a Migros. Well just what Calis needs, another Supermarket...
It seems mad to me that there are so many supermarkets, markets etc. All open 7 days per week, yet the only Chemist in Calis (A tourist resort) is closed Saturday and Sunday. We saw people walking up and trying the door today. I realise Chemists close on a Sunday, but it seems madness to close on a Saturday too.
-
It is open on Saturday but only in the morning...
-
It says on the door "Closed Saturday and Sunday". However this is Turkey.
-
Yes this is Turkey. Chemists in the area open on a rota basis at weekends and they probably think they are entitled to some time off.
-
Plus there are about twenty chemists around the hospital which is practically in Çaliş and there is always at least one of them open at weekends.
-
I've often wandered why the chemists don't use a Rota system between themselves by where say, 2 close on a monday, 2 close on a Tuesday, 2 on a weds, so on and so on. They all get a day off and trade is still shared around. We have struggled in the past to find a chemist open on a Sunday even around the hospital area.

I needed something urgently a couple of Saturdays ago and every single chemist around Devlet Hastane was closed. There is always a duty chemist open at weekend but it is not posted in all chemist windows. Apparently there is a notice outside Es Naf and another one near the Mosque by the dolmus terminal.

There are always two chemists on duty outside regular hours (nights/weekends). You can check online http://www.muglaeczaciodasi.org.tr
for nobetci eczane.
The chemists in Hisaronu and Oludeniz are open every day from 8 am till around midnight during the season.

That's rather inconsiderate i think! :)

So, is that the system they use in the UK now then?

Yes most eczanes used to open on a Saturday morning, but that seems to have stopped in the last year or so. I have found on a couple of occassions on Saturdays or public holiday that there is not an open eczane around the Devlet. However Hi have found that at thise times there is at least two open around the Esnaf hospita.

No it isn't Hamlet, but we do not have designated areas with 20 chemists in them either , all closed on the same day.
-
However as UBT pointed out there will be one open around the Esnaf, and or probably the Letoon or in Fethiye. None are that far away, the Esnaf definitely isn't, it's just off the Kordon in between Fethiye and Çaliş (for anyone that doesn't already know that).
Anyone issued with a prescription at the weekend can always ask for information on which chemist is open at that day and time from the issuing Doctor.

I would think that as Calis is a holiday area and most shopkeepers work long hours perhaps the Chemist would be open too to get the much needed business. I am sure that holiday makers who are staying in Calis and called at the Chemists in Calis would have no idea that there were chemists around the Hospital that may be open. Perhaps the Chemist should put a note on his window of the location of a duty chemist near the Hospital. I spoke to a regular visitor to Callis recently who did not even know we had a Hospital and had never been away from the sea front area. I know that some people call at Chemists for things like mozzie cream, headache tablets etc., not just for prescriptions.
We have always seen the Chemists in Hisaronu and Oludeniz open on a Saturday.
Yes, businesses want a day off, but not many businesses in Calis seem to have that luxury.
