Hi Womble
Yes they keep that stretch of beach immaculate - they work so hard! They clean the sunbeds every day ready for the sunbathers, fetch drinks, food, and anything else you want or need all day - you just need to ask and you never have to wait ages to grab their attention! They regularly empty the bins regularly and pick up bits of litter that people drop on the sand, rake the sand over to keep it even... day in, day out in baking tempratures!
When you get to the beach they escort you to your chosen sunbed, lay the towel out on the bed for you and hang your bag up for you, they keep an eye on the gipsies roaming the beach selling fruit and make sure anyone buying doesn't get ripped off and I've even seen them offer to take crying baby in buggy up onto the path and walk around with it until it goes to sleep. They quite often even provide a bit of beach entertainment late afternoon.
You get the sand washed off your feet on leaving the beach, and for the bargain price of 1 lira you can leave your towel with them when you leave, they'll get it washed and dried and ready for you to use the next day! Brilliant!
Ibraham also works in the Sultan jewellers in the night time.
Blimey, I've gone on a bit there, but after several years of trying different parts of the beach, I'm sooooo glad we've found the best spot!
