Has Calis lost its appeal?
« Reply #30 on: July 11, 2007, 09:19:32 AM »
Like most people on here we have our own place, we don't go out every night, probably one night in three. If I were to stay in a hotel then I would have to go out every night, the dynamic of the resort has changed.

No one ever questions the price of quality, be it food, drink or any product you care to name. But 3ytl for a full English breakfast, come on, give em a chance to provide quality and make some money.

Love Calis, Love Turkey don't want to sample a 3ytl breaky.

 :)Cavfan is right about the chaos the road caused back then, so too is the turkish lad about the germans, they would put their foot down if something was'nt right, although I did find them over the top and very domineering, not all but most,german was the 2nd language when we first went there, I remember when the Mutlu used to do afternoon tea & cake,(free), they would climb all over you and take six pieces each.So I am glad they don't dominate the resort. Then came direct holidays, That was the closest I have ever came to not going to Calis ever again, They needed a hospitalin the then Poyraz, scousers and jocks night, although I am a scouser I used to shudder on hearing the mouths on some of them,and I am by no means posh or for that matter full of decorum, the sights we saw then would make your toes curl,so thats one of the best things thats happened,They were all nutters who came and no week was different, good for the bars maybe but not for other folk who wanted a relaxing holiday, Fair enough, I can get carried away watching a match, but after its over, I resume to nearly normal.So its not all bad in Calis these days. ;)

I never said that I`d want an English breakfast, it was just an example of the difference in prices between Calis and Marmaris, and which restaurateurs had their heads screwed on.
If you were charged 3YTL for your breakfast, you would more than likely choose to eat & drink in the evening at that establishment more often than others.

Maybe people aren`t coming because it`s scruffy,dirty and downmarket with a beach that is hardly spectacular - apart from being spectacularly strewn with rubbish every day.

Strikes me the whole of the area is going to drown soon  under a million tons of plastic bags,bottles and cardboard!

I think that's subjective. It rather depends on what basis you judge the attraction of a place. If it was the same for everyone i.e price-then the prom in Calis would be deserted in an evening with tourists preferring to eat in  a transport cafe in the village.

I was under the impression that the bar prices were set by the local council. A gin cost 6TL and a tonic 2.50, BUT much larger measures than we get in the UK. As for the hassling on the strip, it's far les now than it used to be. The Harem for example is invariable busy (full) because Mehmet never hassles. One bar that I frequent regularly, when presented with say a two day old bill, you a free drink!

Yes, Calis has changed over the years, but we have asked for the changes and being given what we have asked for. Just got back last weeked and I had a super holiday.
