Definitely spend a few winter months here, whether in Uzumlu, Calis, Fethiye or Ovacik. Much different out of season as lots of people have said! Can be absolutely beautiful though! I am surprised nobody from Uzumlu has commented on this post. Uzumlu would not be my choice of location but it certainly is for others, and yes there are places for sale there, but also Brits are moving from Ovacik and Calis. Heating is needed for all areas, certainly as the climate seems to be changing, thunderstorms as I write this which as far as I know, and I have been here for a number of years, is unheard of for days on end in September. Also, last winter was cold everywhere. Maybe not as cold or as long as in the UK, but houses in this area are not built for cold weather.
