Didn't take long did it to turn me from eager tourist to grumpy ex-pat did it? 
But you are very self-aware, Menthol. At least that is the impression I get. You know you would never have decided to live in that area if you, too, hadn't been a tourist there. People often retire to places they had first seen as tourists and then complain that it is full of tourists. If you had gone to the pleasant coastal town of Finike, at the south of the Tepe Peninsula, quite a way past Kalkan and Kas, you might have found no foreign tourists at all there and might, as I did, find that no-one you met spoke English. Very attractive place, beautiful sandy beach over a mile long with hardly anybody there. But no British holidaymakers (or any other foreigners) and hence no-one speaking English (no-one I met anyway). Just as well that I had a smattering of Turkish.
Lovely place; no tourists; nice seaside with a crystal-clear river coming through the town down to the marina; but no English spoken. Would you want to live there? Your summers would be much quieter.
Doesn't stop you wanting the tourists to go home though, does it?
