I have used Travkle republic before and they were great, I also used sunshine.co.uk and similar.
The issue does seem to be the awful rates that UK traveloperators pay the Hotels but in the main the Hotels themselves are probably to blame!
Try contacting them from the UK and booking, their web sites are often awful if not non-existent, contcat details sparse and I feel they think that e-mail is a yorkshire expression about letters! (God knows what the french one would be
) If you manage to get any comunication the rates you are often offered are way above what you can book with a TC for, something wrong there!
This would be my 3rd year at the Rebin Beach, (so I must like it!) but I have given up trying to book direct! Nobody ever answers emails and Im buggered if I am going to spend money calling Turkey with no guarantee of being able to make a booking!
Having said that the other problem is payment I guess to take the entire deposit somehow or would have no safety in no-shows!
Come on somneone who lives there all the time, set up a booking operation for Calis Hotels? TravelCompnay based there with all the right international safeguards???
