Quite strange this year was how warm both the sea water was and also the mains supplied cold water to the house.

Normally a cold water shower is very refreshing out in Akbuk, however this year the water was constantly warm and you could not get the water cold enough. There was no need to mix in any hot water supplied by the solar tank.

This was not only our house but all the sites around the Tansas supermarket. I think different area's of Akbuk have different water sources. Possibly if your cold water is in fact cold, then perhaps your source is from the mountains somewhere whereas if it is warm, then it might be desalinated water fom the sea, well thats my theory anyhow!

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a change this year?

Also the sea water around Akbuk normally has a slight chill to it, but not this year, I'm not sure why. ]]> Akbuk Forum GarryP http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/akbuk-forum/40707-mains-water-why-warm-year.html http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/akbuk-forum/40642-security-akbuk.html Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:02:27 GMT Hi can anyone point me and some friends in the right direction we own properties on the Touch of Paradise in Akbuk which is lovely but unfortunately we have been broken into twice in the last five months so we have decided to look for some security shutters can anyone help ?we would prefer a local company look forward to hearing from anyone who can help us.:nosepick: Hi can anyone point me and some friends in the right direction we own properties on the Touch of Paradise in Akbuk which is lovely but unfortunately we have been broken into twice in the last five months so we have decided to look for some security shutters can anyone help ?we would prefer a local company look forward to hearing from anyone who can help us.:nosepick: ]]> Akbuk Forum akbukhonda http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/akbuk-forum/40642-security-akbuk.html http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/akbuk-forum/40618-bob-s-property-reduced-what-bargain.html Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:44:50 GMT Bob has reduced his property to £70,000 for a quick sale. :nod: Property Details (http://www.crescenthomes.co.uk/properties/property-details.asp?PropertyId=crs00843) This property is lovely and right on the beach front. :thumbup: Bob has reduced his property to £70,000 for a quick sale. :nod:

I was wondering if we could organise ourselves into groups that kept an eye on each others properties, linked by our mobiles to report anything we think that could be out of the ordinary.

On the one hand I know it's kind of invasive, and as Brits we have a natural tendency not to stick our noses in other ppl's business; however that's not what this is about. I for one would rather have a few phone calls asking if everything is okay than have even an attempted break in.

All it requires is for us to organise ourselves into cells of about 3 or more ppl with each others mobile numbers, and a willingness to call if we see anything that looks unusual, it's not a perfect scheme by any means but; it may just give us a slight edge when it comes to burglaries and the like. we may already do something similar; I just think if we organise ourselves we become stronger and less vulnerable, it's just a case of overcoming our reticence of being thought of as nosey.

What do you guys think?

Voices Newspaper Altinkum Didim Turkey - Concern over dog 'takeaways' ]]> Akbuk Forum bobthenob http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/akbuk-forum/40497-hold-onto-your-dogs.html http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/akbuk-forum/40344-taxis.html Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:20:34 GMT I have the "pleasure" this holiday of having my teenage son (18) and his friends (3 boys and 2 girls) staying over with me at PRR this summer - the "teenage team". On two occasions they visted Altinkum (as teenagers do! - it's like a magnet to them, with the bars and night clubs). They had difficulty getting a dolmus back at that time circa 3am so they ended up in two taxis; One taxi's carried three from Altinkum up to PRR and charged 100 YTL. The 2nd Taxi carried two and charged 50 YTL but stopped at the bottom of the steep hill. As they only had 40YTL in th e2nd Taxi the driver kept the teenage girl "hostage" whilst insisted the boy walk the rest of the way and get the remaining money before he would release the girl. I have to say I was furious and raced down to the taxi driver and explained strongly that keeping a girl hostage on a hill side was just not on at all!!! Apologies to the neighbours at that time in the morning (as i appeared to gather quite an audience) but I was livid! Anyways all ended well in the end. On the second occasion the "teenage team" visited Altikum and returned but this time the two taxis stopped at the foot of the steep hill and charged them 80YTL for two passengers and 60YTL for three passengers. I have explained to them that they could have hired a 2 * hotel in Altinkum for all five of them for £40! Any advice gladly received.
