Hi, have been reading the forum for about a year now and thought it time I joined.  I live in the UK but have been holidaying in various parts of Turkey on and off for the last 13 years.  The last 3 years my holidays have centered around Fethiye and the surrounding area as it is, to my mind, the most beautiful area of Turkey and living in flat Suffolk I really appreaciate the mountains when I get there! I love the country, the people, the scenery, the amazing history, the gorgeous food and the ease of travelling around the country on their fabulous public transport system.  No matter wherever else I go in the world, I am always drawn back to Turkey and in a strange way it feels as though as I coming 'home' when i'm there. Shame I have to wait so many years to retire as I could happily spend most of my time in this fascinating country.

Hi Maxine and welcome to the forum.  You'll find loads of useful information about Calis and the surrounding areas on here - it's very addictive!

By the way, I think we all spend too much time rushing our lives on to retirement age, so that we can spend more time in Turkey - sad really, but most of us do it!!! lol  Enjoy being young!

Well, Maxine, you're young compared to me! I'm 47, so a few years older than you.  Still both young though compared to retirement age - a long time to wait before we can spend months at a time in Turkey!
