As a relative newbie to Altinkum and one who has spent too many hours reading horror stories, I thought it fair to relate my own experiences of the last few weeks as we worked on our new home.
We needed, a builder for minor repairs, a painter for the entire house, locksmiths at various points, and some new wrought Iron work for security. In additition we had a turkish plumber and electrician (twice).

What a contrast to the UK, on every occasion these guys appeared within an hour of being called, ready to work and with excellent pricing.
Now home, I've had a chance to look closely at the associated UK costs (when you can actually get a tradesman in the UK) and am very happy to say that on average we paid around 1/4 of the likely costs here.
No call out charges, no waiting days for someone to appear, and all the work carried out to our satisfaction.
Turkey should be proud of the service which these guys have given, and I have to be very happy with the help given by our friends (both Turkish & British) in finding such good workers. So a big thanks to both the tradesmen and to Carolk & Umit who made my life so much simpler (and cheaper) than I could have imagined.
One very happy home owner! ]]> Altinkum Forum scotssteve http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/altinkum-forum/40931-great-service-altinkum.html http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/altinkum-forum/40886-looking-sofa.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:11:14 GMT I am currently in Didim with my wife for 5weeks and am a little uncomfortable with the functional bed sette of an evenig so we were going to look for something more comfy maybe two two seater sofas or something similar.Need to be in near new condition.

The food in Regency was excellent to say the least, although slightly more expensive the food is worth every penny and the service was excellent.
The difference in the taste at Regency compare to India gate was by far better, you could tell the spices were from either England or India and were more authentic to the curry's you get in England. So all you Indian curry lovers if you want great food then take a visit to the Regency you will not be disapointed.

I need to get an Indian visa for me and my family.

Does anyone know of anywhere in Altinkum that will do this for us at a reasonable cost?

We thought he was lost and starting pointing directions to the Tuntas hotel, when we noticed his privates hanging out in all their glory on the seat. We (I was with my 21 year old daughter who looks about 15) just walked away. I did take the reg number but don't have much faith in the Polis so unsure whether to report him after all it will be his word that they are more likely to believe.

Please be cautious if a gentleman about 30 medium build with a beard pulls up near you.

Must be something we do as this is the 3rd flashing in 2 years at the exact same place although first two times was the same guy and we were ready for him second time and stoned him ha ha. xxx ]]> Altinkum Forum millsj28 http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/altinkum-forum/40807-didim-ladies-beware.html http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/altinkum-forum/40793-air-con-repair.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:40:46 GMT Can anyone recommend a competent service for air con repair?

Last night was actually tolerable without, but I'd like to have the option. The owner has done everything possible attempting to get it serviced from where she is, and will cover the costs of repair if I arrange service. ]]> Altinkum Forum Ashina http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/altinkum-forum/40793-air-con-repair.html http://www.turkishliving.com/forums/altinkum-forum/40783-apartment-rental-required.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 08:21:20 GMT Looking to rent an apartment from 2nd to 18th Oct around or very near to the Hilltop Bar for 2 adults.

(Elsewhere, it was rare that the same person did both to my satisfaction. I'm close to wash-and-wear so excellent cut & colour is an investment.)
