Has Calis lost its appeal?

[tinkerman]

We were there in June and never paid more than 3l for a large beer?
is that what we base our appeal to Calis on now, The Efes Price Index?

 :)Not based on the Efes price Tinks, but it does go a long way to the enjoyment of your stay,

We have been coming to Calis for 2 years so can only comment during that time and yes the beach is not the best kept, prices have gone up, new builds continue but for us the charm of Calis is priceless.   We were at our apartment in June and on the flight home we were already counting down for our return in September, it just seems to tug at our heart strings and long may it continue. So to "old"friends and new see you in September.

 :)Think it would be a good idea for all those with the power to change things should be reading this forum, then hold a meeting, in the meantime, see you soon, They've been having the same conversation for twnty years, its a case of slow slow, quick quick slow,  anyone getting up.

14 years of visiting Calis has left me without any basis for comparison on food/drink costs(other than all points between Calis and Olu Deniz).I doubt that any other resort could beat the varied aspects that appeal to me and brings me back year after year. There seems to be genuine concern that Calis has become expensive. So,to put it to the test, I have booked Betiz for 14 days in September. This resort was recommended to me on the Forum last year but due to the 'pull' of Calis and good flight prices from First Choice I did not go. Any comments/advice on Betiz?

I've been to Bitez, near Bodrum, but it was about 7 years  ago, i didn't like it, you had to go into Bodrum for any nightlife, or just stay in the hotel, it may have changed like everywhere else. Alan

We have been going from Inverness-shire to Fethiye ( Gunlakbasi)4 times a year and the price of food or Efes is not a consideration, if it was we would not have  bought a place to live in when we are out. The
area is stunning and the people are exceptionally friendly and that is why we choose to go there. If there is a down side the local authorities do need to slow the building down because it would appear that the
supply far out ways the demand. It is time for them to take stock and finish off roads and developments
so that new visitors to the area can see it for the beautiful place it is.

 :)I dont think anyone is actually complaining, I think its just observation of whats going on around us,my friends and ourselves have seen huge change in the last twenty years, but it does not detract from the fact that we all love Calis and the people.Why else would we still be going.
