Sorry Howard, we're there from tomorrow (whoopee) to 9 September so we'll be like ships that pass in the night. We'll think about leaving from Efes for you though.
Enjoy!

Where are you staying Howard? We'll be at the Tugay from September 7th to October 7th!!

Years ago there was a set night each week, I think it was Wednesday, where CBF members used to meet up in Bus Stop.
Sadly no longer there but wouldn't it be lovely to start something like this up again?
-
Would a bus stop be big enough?

Two or three years ago there were also the CBF badges so people could recognise fellow members. Does anyone still wear theirs? :)

We met up with the lovely number2 and Lynn and Dave Roue at Cafe Sol on a couple of occasions for an unofficial CBF get together.
Wednesday lunch time around one if memory serves. :)

I'll be at the Tugay from 17th to 24th September........."flying solo" on this trip! :)

We had them, I think a lot were sold? Ms badge was on his hat (and still is) mine is in a handbag somewhere. We did wear them everyday for a few years, (M always as he always wore his hat). I never saw anyone else wearing them though. They were very subtle, small but sturdy, a bit like a tie pin.
Ah . . . I see! JF that's why nobody approached us lol! 8)

we have still got ours
-
We will be Calis from th 16 Sept. Where are you staying? We are renting a villa behind the hospital. We love Calis as it is a quiet and peaceful place.
Have you been to Calis many times?
-
Look forward to meeting you in September Dennis!

Lyndsey..........if you see a tall, handsome, suave and sophisticated man I guarantee it won't be me! ;D ;D ;D

Further to my previous message, I am sorry but forgot to put my name.
Cannot wait til my holiday in Calis.

Lyndsey..........if you see a tall, handsome, suave and sophisticated man I guarantee it won't be me! ;D ;D ;D
And if you see a gorgeous blonde with a fabulous bikini body, with her Piers Brosnan-lookalike husband, that definitely won't be me!!!
-
Lindsey, we are at the Ibrahim Bey Hotel. Cant wait as we both love Calis. Looking forward to seeing that sunset ... how long have you been visiting Calis ?
-
I think it was 2004 Howard, our first visit, but this will be our 18th holiday in Calis!!
When we first came, someone told me that Calis would shout me back; I remember thinking 'You're joking, right" - the main street was a dirt track with a very rickety bridge at one end, the beach shingly/pebbly and not exactly pristine, the sea murky and full of concrete blocks, and we got very bad stomach upsets from a restaurant opposite the Meri Bar that had chickens on a rotisserie!
It did though!
Since we retired, we've been coming twice a year, for a month at a time!!
-
Lindsey Steve & I have been going to Calis since 2002. Have stayed several times at the Caretta Apartments and more recently finding villas to rent.
We would love to meet up for a drink if you are interested. As you will see we responded to Howard and are in Fethiye from the 16 Sept.
Sheila
-
That would be great, Sheila! Our friends Joan and John from Hamilton in Scotland always stayed at the Caretta, wonder if you know them?
Following Highlander's post, why don't we all agree to meet in a bar on Wednesday lunchtimes - say Lee's, or any of the ones on the front.
-
Let us know where and time and we will meet up one of the Weds we are there We are planning a trip to Rhodes but not sure when yet. Will be in touch when we arrive and will have iPads with us.
We were at Caretta 2003 and 2004. Don't remember the people you mentioned but did meet aScottish couple named Alex and ?Gill. Dr John helped Alex as he was poorly. Do you know Dr John (Can) and Mary? They are such fantastic people. We still go and catch up every time we are in Calis.
Info about us, Steve is retired and I have taken my pension but still work 3 days a week as a typist for the NHS. Sadly don't get my state pension for another five years!!

Lyndsey, Marie introduced me to Calis just after we met 5 years ago and we have been 3 times together now. She had been many times before and so knows it very well and has some Turkish friends who we visit. I will show Marie how to use this forum so she can communicate with you .. we have just goyt back from a fantastic weekend in Liverpool and recovering slowly..We will send another photo for you when we can
-
sorry for not responding quickly to posts .. we have been away (without computer!)

No probs .. have a great time ! ( not sure how this site works yet)

Howard and Marie - keep a lookout for a message from Lindsey about meeting up on a Weds lunchtime. It will be good to all get together for an Efes.
We cannot wait for our holiday. I believe you are staying at the Ibrahim hotel. We used to know a lovely elderly couple who stayed there. We often sat and chatted with them. As you will see above we have been going to Calis since 2002 missing the occasional year.

Oh, it would be great to meet up!
Can I suggest Wednesday, 21st September, Lee's bar, at around lunchtime?
I'm reluctant to set a definite time, as since we both retired, we dislike strict schedules! Some time between 1 and 2pm?
Sorry I didn't post yesterday - busy Bank Holiday!!

That's fine .. absolutely agree with you on time / schedules. Which one is Lees Bar ?
-
Glad you had a fantastic weekend in Liverpool Howard38. Being from Liverpool myself it's always nice when someone enjoys and gives good feedback on your city. Hope you all have a great time in Çaliş too :)
-
Howard, if you walk along the seafront with the sea on your left, it's not far from the old Seketur was; it has a big sign which says Lee's 60s 70s 80s Bar.
-
Lindsey/Howard look forward to meeting up with all of you. What is the best way to recognise you?
Glad you let us know where the bar is.
Have you ever been to Hamsi bar, we drank there several times last June?
Sheila
-
The Hamsi is a lovely place to watch the sunset! 8)
-
Lotty we have not watched sunset from there but perhaps will September. In June 15 we watched the sunset from Solvaye island.
Sheila
-
I've never heard of the Hamsi Bar - where is it?
The reason I thought of Lee's is that it is primarily a bar, not a big restaurant where it might be tricky to spot people!
I'm a tall, slightly chubby blonde, and hàve no clue on how to upload a photo onto here!
-
Lindsey - I did not mean the Hamsi bar for meeting up. It was just an enquiry. Anyway the Hamsi is if you turn left up the front and it is up there fairly near the jetty where the ferry goes to Solvaye Island.
Sheila

Sheila / Lindsey Lees bar sounds great ... we may have been there before .. you have our photo hopefully but Marie is a blonde in a purple wheelchair (she has been in one for a while now due to a chronic back problem) . I tried to attach another photo but it was too large (in mega bytes that is) .... Howard and Marie
-
Where are you staying Howard? We'll be at the Tugay from September 7th to October 7th!!

Hi Dennis, it would be good to meet up some time .. we will be hovering along the front most days and will look out for you. Marie is presently in a wheelchair so you should be able to spot us !!! let us know where you will be hanging out.. Howard and Marie
-
We (Pauline and I) will be out from the 15th for 10 days so if we can get off the sunbeds we will pop along to Lee's on Wednesday 21st between 1 & 2. We will look out for Marie and start from there :)
