Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

If you are looking for a meal or drink in a tranquil location, we can highly recommend the Miami. Located in the Old Village the owner Onbasi (aka Manuel from Fawlty Towers) is always keen to please. Whether you are stopping for a refreshing drink on a long walk to the Old Village, having a lunch, evening meal or even a birthday party he will pull out all the stops. The Miami is open all year round and is a peaceful haven when you want a rest from the hustle, bustle and noise of Icmeler's main centre.

Nice one Ellie123
You have found my out of season hide away.
If you look on the photo gallery under, "pics posted for peli" by Ressy1959,[ Mary helped me out I still havnt got the hang of that Bloody photo bucket thing]
You will see it in December, Umbasi still with a smile on his face even though there was major road works.
A Lovely Guy
Peli

Hi Peli, we have been following Onbasi around the Village since the early 90's. Here is a photo of Onbasi with our daughter Devan which was taken at his original restaurant on the main road on the opposite side to Tansas, think is was about 1994.

Hi Ellie
Lovely pic of them both, what stands out is the love and happiness in both their eyes, he has put some wieght on since then !!
We really should get in there more but tend to head down town in summer on the dolmus due to us being further up the valley,or we use Tommys[another great guy] if we are walking and then get the dolmus
It makes me think as Ive got involved with the forum Ive thought some of us must have sat next to each other or said hello without knowing it.

Peli we have spent many nights in Tommy's as we stayed very near the restaurant the first time we went to Icmeler. Lovely man and lovely food

" WHAT " :-- ,

great to see photos of umbasi,could any body help us looking for e-mail address of miami lost contact with dear friend known since 1994 thanks for any help.

We have known Onbasi for many years and always spend a lot of time relaxing there when it is too hot to go to the beach.
He gave us his email address when we went in September but unfortunatley I have lost it.
If anyone has it could they please pm me with it?

Skilly & Eddie I have sent pm's with the e-mail address we hold

Thanks a lot Ellie, I will try to get in touch with him.

Nice to see a restaurant that looks peacefull and tranquil, next time I visit Icmeler I will be sure to call in and say hello to Manuel/Onbasi.

Has anyone visited Onbasi/Manual at the Miami in the old village this season, if so how is he?
