Spot on Nichola, Fethiye not just a great place at night, a far better place than Calis Prom altogether. I M O.  :)

We love Fethiye it's a great place,  we spend a lot of time there, however, from the tourist point of view, there are very little self catering apartments, villas etc.,  Also the best Hotels are expensive there does not seem to be a lot of cheaper hotels like there are in Calis Beach or the other resorts.

Just arrived home from my first holiday in Calis.. We lived in and loved Fethiye and was very proud to call it home. However my work with The 3 cs took me mostly to Calis...This was our first real holiday there and we have had a fantastic time.... Seen so many friends, boat trip complete with ringos,  hamam and massage, evening meals out and best of all meeting up with my partner in crime Busy Bee, Pete and Chrissie, Rod, Jan. Liz101. The lovely Nichola and Dogan who made time for a nice long chat with us and  too many more to mention but loved every minute catching up with the gossip.. (sorry latest news). ...Can't wait for september.

If there are a couple who deserved to enjoy their return to Calis more than your good self and Barrie then someone will have to tell me who they are.

i'm thrilled that you both had such an enjoyable return and am only sorry we weren't there at the same time.

Kindest regards

My first time to Calis was 1983 or there abouts. Back packing  :) Not much going on but fell in love with the place. Only fields over the bridge and not much more on the prom lol.
Then on to olu deniz and all that was there was the front row and shacks behind at £1 a night. It was heaven on earth, bonfire on the beach and up still sunrise. Have both places changed, of course, as every city and most villages in Uk have. Would I like to go back to those days, hell yes, but life goes on and so does progress. Go with the flow and enjoy.

Snap oscarj.
That is when we started going to Olu. I thought it was the most peaceful place on earth. The only other place we had been was Marmaris which was actually really good in those days.  I think back then the people made the places. The people have changed so much in recent years I feel that is why places have changed. I'm so glad I saw the best of it. It doesn't have the same appeal for me nowadays.

I think Calis has changed, but so has Brighton where I lived in the UK.
Many things for the better, but some for the worst, especially the canal.
My sister came for the first time a couple of years ago and fell in live with it, same as we did all those years ago, and is back again soon.
I remember where everywhere you went waiters etching made a point of sitting and chatting g, asking where you were from etc and now pretty. Uch leave you alone,no complimentary tea and a chat in many places now.even with stories of burglary, handbag snatches etc it was heartwarming today to see the kindness is still alive and well.

I want to say a huge thanks to Cem, aka Oddjob from Vojos.
I had a prang in my car today and he saw me as he drove past and came to check accident report was correct and offered to take it to be photocopied and sort it for me.

I told him no, he works such long hours and deserves some time off.
What a lovely kind guy.
