Well as Vojo's are member here perhaps they would like to give their opinion?
I know if the beach is not looking good, we will go to Fethiye to eat, or one of the restaurants in the Main Street. We have never thought anything of paying extra to sit on the prom, but if the view is going to be of rubbish there would seem to be no point. Ultimately the restaurant on the prom are going to lose out. So lets have a view from some of them. Time the restaurant owners found out what us tourists are thinking. 
jacqui, with respect.....
Unfair to single out Volkan for an opinion. If he agreed, it seems to me that the natural reaction of his fellow Turks, who were not of the same persuasion, might well be to go on the offensive against him. If he disagreed, would you expect people to boycott his very fine establishment. I wouldn't.
The cost of eating on the front is dependant on a number of factors and is irrelevant to me. If I want to, I will, end of.
John with respect. I am not picking on Volkan. He is the only Restauranteur who is a member of this forum who regularly comes here to advertise his business, and as so, a first and only point of contact for us members to monitor the feelings of other business owners on the prom. If he could let the other owner know the strength of feeling on this Forum about the state of the beach. it could possible move the restaurant owners to take some action. It is probably a fact that these people do not know that the state of the beach is worrying the regulars to Calis and more importantly the many guests who read this Forum who may be considering a holiday in Calis.
I am struggling to get to grips with your opinion that if one Restaurant owner mentions to others Turkish owners, that tourists are concerned about the dreadful state of the beach, they will disagree with him and somehow penalise him and people will boycott his premises...however, you will not
It's a sad day when even the owner and prime mover of this 10 year old Forum is going elsewhere for his holidays and even putting an image of the beautiful clean beach he is going to.
The main reason we eat on the prom is the lovely view and it is a fact as pointed out by many members, more expensive to eat there. If the lovely view is tainted by rubbish, will we really want to pay more just to sit in front of a tip?
Let us hope we hear from some of the business owners on the prom. We have promoted many of their businesses for years with recommendations on this Forum, so perhaps, they could give us a little of their time to read our concerns and reply to them?
