Quiet this year?

[johntaylor49]

Folks, is it quiet in Calis this year? Just wondered as usually by now the olf Forum is alive with new members asking about everything from where to buy a corn plaster to where is a good place to go bungee jumping and it seems quiet?

Maybe it is the new Forum that everyone can find what they want and dont need to ask?

Or is it booming and bristling with new visitors and standing room only on the Prom?

We dont come until September usually, and it is always quieter then, just hope not grave-like by then!

 we were over in June for 4 weeks and we found it fairly quiet - certainly as far as Brits were concerned, our hotel was all German, Poles and Slovacs who do not really spend money in the bars and restaurants as they were all half board.  We never had to wait for a seat in any of the restaurants we go to, including Bella Mama.  Hopefully it will be a bit more busy in September, but maybe not.

We were over in June and found it a bit quiet, especially the lack of Brits.   Our hotel was full of Germans, Poles and Slovacs and of course they are all half board and don't spend much money in the bars and restaurants.   We never had any trouble in getting a seat in the restaurants we use, including the Meeting Point, Casa Mama and Bella Mama.
Hopefully it might perk up a bit during Summer and September but maybe not.   

We were also surprised that no one seemed to be commenting on restaurants etc. but to be honest nor have we - might remedy that now.

Very quiet this year John, even more so than last year, been coming to fethiye and calis for about 15 years now and it is definately not what it was, a couple of girls on our complex were down calis last night and they told me today some of the bars, restaurants were empty and closing about 11pm, i know that the price of air fares has a lot to do with this too. sad times im afraid.

I rode the length of the prom last night and I'd say most restaurants where more than 60% full. I was going to the Meeting Point and couldn't get a table. I saw Ahmed today and he said it's going well.

[desmartinson]

Were you on horseback Ken. and was the meeting point to point. and did you win?.

Not so many Brits on our complex as last year at this time, but lots of Turkish folk on holiday in Calis. Trouble is they mostly stay with relatives, eat at home and then just go walk about on the prom. Although the restaurants we use seem to be doing fine.

Not suprising the price of the flights are extortionate. Most people I have talked to are just refusing to pay the prices.

I like it reasonably quiet wherever I go being a miserable old git now, (well, studying
hard at the Meldrew Academy), but not too quiet! Yes the Air Fares have gone up a hell of a lot and
I am sure that is an issue, and times are a bit hard everywhere.

Like a lot of places in Spain/Portugal years ago perhaps too many bars and restaurants all vying for limited trade,
only so much money in Tourism.

Well, just have to wait and see.

Well I thought I was going to have to go elsewhere abroad again in September due to the price of flights to Dalaman. However, after deleting cookies every time I went on flight sites, I've eventually managed to get a good priced 10 day flight after weeks of trying. So Johntaylor49, it wont be quiet in September coz I'll be there!!!! LOL. Don't know if deleting cookies makes any difference, but the prices certainly changed each time I logged on, this time in my favour.
