we are just back from Calis from nearly three weeks of total bliss and chill out and found the first week out & about along the front was quiet But the last 2 weeks were a lot lot busier , yes 2 or 3 places in the evenings were almost empty due to big gaps and Small portions on the plates , and higher prices, Georges in particular, heard many comments about that , Enya next door was almost empty why i dont know , The loss of 2 brill staff in the Mangol and increase of their prices last weekend and bad service
eg the puffy bread came and soon as you started it the main meal arrived , waiters could not bone fish properly , Alis well who would like a waiter in a string vest
, but most the others were we felt doing quite well
With regard to numbers being down in hotels / bars and along the prom ect , Our Hotel Oykun was fully booked since 7 june [ 85 rooms] and in fact Thompsons 50 Room allocation for whole of June next year is already 90 % booked, RE The Oykuns direct booking we have just today [ 2 days after leaving ] managed to get a room for 3 weeks next June one of the few that they have free They must be doing something right as its mainly clients returning year after year, although some this year used to go to the Mutlu regular but due to staff changes came to the Oykun .
One last thing it was with great pleasure to meet Hghlander,[ who did a brill belly flop into the pool one day] and his dear wife who were staying at the Oykun , what lovely couple they are
