What Do You Miss When not in Calis/Fethiye?

[Scunner]

Just because I made a confusing title earlier - What things do you miss the most when not in residence? January is a good month for this one as many people are starting to daydream or make their Calis travel plans.

I miss just a few things. And here most of them are: Iskender Kebap, Adana Kebap, the kebap sellers chillies at the market (although just sourced at Tesco) - I can eat nearly a whole one with my Sunday market chicken wrap! Frank Cannon's on arrival night, an Efes (because it is the taste of Turkey holidays, I wouldn't thank you for it in any other case), the Fish Market, Mozaik Bahce mixed grill, Mozaik Bahce Him & Her , a night at King's Garden, a walk round the Sunday Market (although I ended up despising it when we lived there - in fact our last 3 visits we haven't been there on a Sunday, or we arrived on a Sunday so it's been a few years now), the requirement that is at least one trip on the water taxi, and the slowly unravelling discoveries of which of our squillions of friends are going to be there at the same time as us.

Following our amazing visit last year I must add a couple of new ones - the friendly and beautifully tranquil feel of the Oykun and the treat that is a Full Scottish Breakfast at VOJOs.

I also love the fact that my lovely childs love all the things I love there too. Except the chillies.

You?

Funny how 3/4 of your post related to food/eating.

Isn't that what holidays are for?

Fair comment.

I  think if I had to pick out any one thing, it would have to be the scenery. I never get tired of looking around the bay, and that's what my mind will wander off to on a dull day at work.

Megri Lokanta in Paspateur, Deep Blue bar, Watching sport at Dawn Beach Bar (I know but I dont usually get to do that) Fish Market, and most of all sitting on our veranda chilling with a nice glass of wine.

Everything!!  The lovely scenic walks, the views from the beach across the bay, my favourite, sitting in Seckin watching the Turks go about their days.
Then there's the walk through Gunlukbasi to see what changes have been made since our last visit, getting a nod from some old biddy sitting in her plastic chair on the road, magical stuff and most of all the friends we've made over the years

guinness - somehow it tastes better on the beach

Having a walk down the prom in the sunshine and stopping every few minutes for a chat and/or banter with guys in the bars. 

We spent almost the whole of our last day last year doing just this.  Walked from one end to the other stopping first for coffee,  then a beer further down, then some lunch, then another beer!   

But we really enjoyed the day.

The views of the bay, the walks around the area watching the locals doing there thing... The hospitality of all the locals, the efes and local food, especially Sechins, and meeting up with the people we have met while there..

Really everything that it has to offer
