We have been visiting Calis for four years now. This year was noticably different - very much quieter. However, we had to remind ourselves that in the past we have visited for the first two weeks of August which is obviously going to be busier than the first two weeks of July! Just got back after two weeks and trade starting to pick up a little. You could actually see the prom getting busier each evening after Friday when the schools broke up. What was very strickingly obvious to us was the standard of food and portions !! Certainly down on previous years. We narrowed our choice down to three or four places along the front that were still worth going to. We also noticed how noisy the traffic along the Calis Fethiye road is now, which it did not used to be. As tourists get more comfortable with an area so they will venture farther (and away from Calis perhaps to explore quieter/different places). I also think that people are getting greedier and therefore the bargains are not available as they used to be. This is the price we pay for bringing tourism to an area! Having said that - I just love Calis, the people, the place, the weather.
