Stoop

We got married in Olu Deniz in 2004. We stayed 3 days and nights in Calis Beach the rest in Olu Deniz.We spent one of those days at Koca Calis for a day out.It is that one day I am talking about.Since 2004 we have visited Calis Beach a further two times.The last time was in Sept 2006 in Sept.We remember it well as it rained heavily for most of the day.

Ah I get it now. So it was 2004 when you visited Koca Calis. Things have changed quite a bit since then.

That was the year we rented a villa at Koca.We never did the long walk into Calis though as we hired a car that year.The dolmus buses never went all the way into Koca and there were plans back then to have them do just that.Did that plan ever get to happen does anyone know?.

[stoop]

Not yet but one does run past the little shop - going to Fethiye. Getting back is the problem. I understand the nearest they go is the Surf Cafe but that's not far to walk.

The little shop on the corner (near the canal) is also a taxi rank now and that makes life a lot easier. No need to phone for one any more  

More restaurants on the beach now and a couple more bars.

if/when the rains come should I start gathering animals two by two, in the hope that noah will give me a ride as to be so helpfull. with more of the swamp being built on and little or no regard to storm drainage. the up side of course is less mozzies, or could it be more people to attack less mozzies on me I wonder.

c1,

buy a boat and hope for the best.

Out of curiosity. How does it work insurance wise if you own a propoerty in Koca and you are a high risk flooding wise. Is it like in the uk where you become uninsurable?

[stoop]

Jackpot,

Time will tell on that one. We had a claim this winter and the excess was greater than what our management company claimed for. We are currently arranging to meet the insurer's loss adjuster to debate what our claim should actually have been.

Hopefully things will be sorted soon but as a rule of thumb you can expect 2% of the sum assured as the excess on any flood damage.

In our case the buildings sum assured was 80,000ytl and the excess was 1600ytl.

stoop, was going to do that but put off because I would need to be qualified with bits of paper etc, to own and operate a small rubber dingy and outboard.
