We have just come back from Calis and unfortunately it looked more like Beirut with pavements being dug up. The roads are also pretty bad more like pot hole city these days, so be aware when driving or riding cycles.
The work was meant to finish by the end of April but has been extended mid / end of end of May. So we were told.... The main road up near Aydin Pide is especially bad, so be prepared for major dust.
I know it'll look great when its all finished, but why not start these things and make sure they are finished well before the beginning of the season.
