Well,what started off as a fairly straight forward request,ie, info on Ovacik certainly turned into something else. The ball's been well and truly kicked round the park,and on quite a few occasions kicked out the park.
So,let's sit back and do an apraisal.
I had the temerity to make,what some people think was unwarranted remarks about Calis,and of course several members,whom I assume live down there immediately took umbrage and leapt to defend it,perfectly understandable,they not going to criticise it are they.
However I'll qualify my remarks.Property in Calis does tend to be downpriced as compared to similar property in Ovacik,you've only to trawl the property websites to find this is true,Calis is built on what was marshland,so what,nothing to get het up about,merely a true statement.my remark about Calis beach,I'll confess was a little extreme,but the context was correct,its been mentioned in the local press about the condition of the beach,there's even been requests for volunteers to help clean it up.All of these statements are true,they not meant to be inflammatory,but I get the feeling that there seems to be an anti Ovacik brigade who can dish it out but can't take it.
Scunner asked the question what's to do in Ovacik,to be honest bonny lad,not a lot,he's quite correct,loads of villa's,lots of hotels,bars and restaurants,couple of members made replies pointing out various activities.
Alright Scunner,inkerman,and any other one living in Calis I'me coming down there for a day,can you let me know of any attractions,places of interest,things of outstanding beauty,anything with a WOW factor. I'me not being fecicious,I'me being totally serious,I'll go down for the day,go to all the places suggested,and post a totally unbiased opinion.
P.S. if anyone replies back what a load of piffle I'll sccccream.

So, bearing in mind your first post was a scathing attack on Calis in reply to my appraisal of Ovacik, this is interesting

You now agree with that appraisal, you agree your reply was 'extreme' and it does appear that your reply was based on what you have read, and not what you have seen. At least I've been to Ovacik!

To try one more time to get my point across...

I would find Ovacik too quiet for me to live, especially out of season. I don't see it as a 'must see' place for someone looking to experience Turkey further afield (and as I also said, I don't see Calis as one either). I don't think there is much to see for a tourist looking for tradition and culture in either area. There are many 'must see' places before either.

Where the insult to Ovacik from me was I simply don't know. Just a one line description, which you now agree with.

Agreed

No Scunner,I do'nt agree that my posting was extreme,you've taken it out of context,I stated that describing Calis beach as I did in my first posting was extreme,I have since modified that description,I said you were right about there was not a lot to do in Ovacik,there's plenty of bars,decent restaurants etc,but nothing to bring a tourist up for the day expecting to find anything exciting,apart from going for a microflight,or doing the leap off the Babadag etc. Your spin on the place was a long road,a billion villa's,I did'nt think it was a very constructive reply to a member wishinh to stay here for two months.So,no,Ido'nt agree with you.
I think my observations in my last posting are valid.
I think the issue about Calis beach is public knowledge, I was down Calis last week,so my comments were'nt hacked out of one of the local newspapers,as I've stated I'll give it a day in Calis,soon as someone lets me know what I can see or do down there

Swim in the sea,paddle, sail, wind surf, watch the sunset from a beach side bar. All things sadly lacking in Ovacik.

Why travel all the way to Calis when I can jump in the jeep and be in Olu Deniz in 10 minuites,and without being in any way antaganistic given the choice between the two beaches I would plumb for Olu Deniz it having the blue flag.But you are totally correct Ovacik does not have a beach.Hope this dos'nt start another controversy off about the merits of the two beaches.

There is no comparison between the two beaches, but you do not have to drive to the beach in Calis, take the paragliding and micro lighting out of the equation as they are hardly every day activities and Ovacik has very little to recommend it. Just my opinion of course, nothing more, although Scunners appraisal was a tad exaggerated he was not far off the mark.

I know which beach id prefer.....Olu Deniz....for the same reason as goeordieboy...the blue flag.....the sunsets are spectacular there to, sitting in a bar drinking my Efes..and all for a short ride from Ovacik....where you can see spectacular sunsets aswell from your own terrace or pool side, with a bottle or two of Efes!!
