Thanks everyone, nice to get a welcome. Yes gt, it has changed, enormously. Mostly for the better; downside as I see it is local people having been priced out of the property market & the influx of workers from other parts of Turkey during the summer season. I think the main difference 'though is during winter. I came over one New Year, '97 I think - Calis completely closed except for Annas & practically nowhere open in Fethiye & certainly no foreigners in any great numbers - odd one or two. Totally different now of course. And yes, Cavfan, we probably have seen each other around - I've bumped into people I've met in previous years on the prom on many an occasion!
