We only remember one shop on the canal, it sold water and general grocery, one the right hand side walking away from the sea. The people who owned it were very friendly.
The power cuts were so frequent, everyone would cheer when the power came back on, but it helped somehow to make the holiday
We experienced it last year in Northern Cyprus,all part of the fun. NC is very much how Icmeler and other parts of Turkey used to be before all the building ruined it, they too will probably go down the same stupid road.
When we stayed at La Perla they had stopped using beads, we were half board there but the atmosphere there was awful so we ate out most of the time did us a favour as we realised what good food was on offer, and how friendly the locals were.
We will probably get told off soon for having open chats, did you get the pm I sent you the other day?
How about when they spread the tar on the road and then threw a load of gravel down and left it to the poor holiday maker to spread it about and press it down, my sandals lasted for years with a coat of tar and gravel on them
