We Love Our Home in Turkey


I don't want to seem too negative about our Home in Turkey.  We absolutely love our holidays there,  we try and get there about 3 times a year.  The place is beautiful and there is so much to see in the area, they say you can ski in the morning and go in the sea in the afternoon but as yet I haven't tried it.  The other owners  on site are now our friends.  We have an owners' committee now so we know our money is being spent how we the owners want it to be spent.  There are still a few problems but we are using the law to overcome these. 
The gardens are beautiful and improving all the time, they mature from one visit to the next and are looking well established now.  We have several swimming pools to chose from, one on our doorstep and during the season there is a bar where we love to sit having 'sundowners' and watch the beautiful sunsets.
The weather in winter, although it can be stormy, is much better than in GB and we are hoping that in time we can spend even more time there.  Most of the owners are a similar age so I can see the winter periods getting busier as the years pass.  What could be nicer the cold English months in Turkey and summer at home in England.
The local markets are full of local seasonal produce, you can buy a large bag of fruit and vegetables for next to nothing.  Prices are increasing compared to a few years ago but most things are still cheaper than England.  The exchange rate has improved over the last 18 months so your money feels like its going a bit further.
I'm off there again in a few weeks, can't wait.
