Don't know why people get so wound up about McDonalds, there are loads of Pizza Pizza stores, Pizza Tomato etc and they aren't exactly nice, healthy, authentic Turkish restaurants.
Their burgers are a lot nicer than the thin cardboard like ones that most cafes/ restaurants sell.

And if you are talking about the place starting to look tacky then look no further than the new pork shop near Tansas, with its giant cartoon pig in the window and Pork Shop written in Neon lights  :)

Well, this has certainly stoked up a few different opinions .Personally, Id rather eat cardbord than a McDonalds. But one thing is absolutely sure. When a global brand wants to open a new outlet, they don't take risks. McDonalds would have done a lot of market research on the area.If the local population were or are for/against this venture,it won't take long to find out, believe me. If the local people don't object, I really can't see why we should !!!.

I think we can still be disappointed that out little piece of heaven will begin to look like Bodrum or Marbella.  We chose this area BECAUSE these joints weren't here.  Sure, we can't stop it but we can still be saddened by this development.

I didn't choose the area because those places weren't there.

Will they sell their icecream made from pig fat in Turkey?  And will they tell their Turkish customers??

But Rindaloo, you live in Uzumlu, there isn't going to be a McD's there, so no different to there being one in say Marmaris for you.:D:D

Mind you I think Uzumlu has been spoilt by all the foriegners coming in and building new villas, doesn't fit in with the feel of the village, much too modern.: :)
