That may well be the case Menthol but I would readily believe that the small print says 49 assuming that there are no (i) medium sized fridges and/or (ii) the old gentleman (who just lives 1/2 mile off the designated route)'s monthly supply of potatoes on the said dolmus at the time   ;)

It's still amazing though, how after all of these, mostly light-hearted postings, there is still a strange magnetism about the place, which keeps on attracting all of us !!   8) ;D

Yes and that is, above all else, the reason behind the success of CBF. Over the years we have regularly debated and tried to pinpoint what that secret hold might actually be (without success) but there is something that I don't believe you feel in other countries - or even some other Turkish resorts.

I have personally, and I have no concerns about sharing this, stood at the gate at Dalaman for our flight home, and told Steph this might be the last time we are in Turkey. Or at least the last time for a very long time. Then we get home and within a few weeks I've booked flights for next year.

Amazing place.

Heroin is legal in Calis. But only for tourists and only when added in very small doses into food at selective restaurants.
This creates a "Feel good factor" in the area and makes people want to come back.
Some people even decide to live here as they are that addicted.
Occasionally the Dolmus drivers accidentally eat the "Tourist food" and.... well... Enough said.

Every Jeweller will clean your jewellery for free...Of course you are under no pressure to buy a piece of jewellery and if you do buy said jewellery, when you get it back to the U.K.  It will be valued at at least three time more than you paid for it.

When you go to pay the rates, water or electric bill, Turkish men will not push in the queue.
