Has Calis lost its appeal?

[Kazzyber]

We only visited Calis for the first time last year and loved it.  We had been to Alanya years before and hated it and vowed we would never go back to Turkey but my good friends purchased a villa there and insisted we go and that we would change our mind.  How right were they.  We loved Calis and we went back again this year.  I don't know what it is about the place it just makes you feel comfortable and at ease so they can increase their prices and do whatever but it won't change my opinion - Calis is a lovely place to be, cheap prices or dear prices who cares!!

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.

Well Charlotte - that was a great 'first' contribution.

A warm welcome to the forum and please continue to come on and let us know what you get up to in Calis - within reason!

Stoop ;-)

Thanks Stoop for my welcome, I really like these boards and it's nice to se what other people think of Calis.

While I agree with what you have said Tink I think the people of Fethiye do as much as they can to make you feel comfortable in their country as well. Or at least that's what I've encountered.

of course they do Charlie, it comes as second nature to them and we as a nation could learn a lot from them in humility, they are a wonderful people but the problem comes when we expect it of them.

Hi Charlotte

If I do my maths correct that makes you eighteen and you've already been four times so that makes you a mini veteran!

So glad you like it. We first came in August 1989 so not sure if you were born then?

It's like a drug this place ( a pleasant one of course
)

Thanks Jukebox I'm nearly eighteen not long to go now!
And I see you're from Leeds, I'm right on your doorstep from Bradford then!

I hope to continue visiting Calis for many years to come as there is still so much I haven't discovered yet! I am looking to go back for New Year so fingers crossed!

I am interested to know though from anyone who is willing, in your opinion has Calis changed in any way, good or bad? Obviously there has been plenty of building work over the years but for example has the litter problem surfaced recently or has it been an issue for a few years?

It changes every year Charlotte, you make friends in one bar, the following year some of the staff have gone somewhere else, so you go and visit them, and so on, in the end you can't remember much of the night, i'm just glad i saw the error of my ways, i got fed up of staggering home at 5 in the morning, now i drink a couple more so i don't remember getting home, cos it don't make any difference how bad you get, you always wake up in bed, or a field, lol.

No fields left now Alan,so where have you been sleeping.

[CharlotteC]

Aaah so it all depends on alcohol consumption does it Alan??
