Any changes this season

[shazyboy]

Has anyone witnessed any major changes to the resort area and didim town this season.Things like infrastructure,grass area palm trees,new roads,new restaurants etc. Basically anything that has given the area a face lift other than the new marina,. It would be nice to here something new and something positive.

We noticed a lot of road edgings and bases down for pavements on a lot of the back roads.Maybe with a view to doing the roads

Stonking great palm trees went in earlier this year round some of the roads like Cumhuriyet Cad. in Didim. As above, pavements and the like seem to be getting attention too, so there is def. a move to spruce up the landscaping.

Last visit was a bit soon in the season for some of the councils improvements to the beach areas to be taking place, but a few bars were dressing things up with new signs and seating, and a general tidy up going on.

If you haven't been to it yet, the newly opened chai house at the top of the new Marina Road has a nice atmosphere, seating outdoors round palm covered shades and under canvas awnings. Nice break from the usual indoor cafes.

It could be a make or break season for some of the bars and restaurants as if the visitors aren't in town to spend their money there could well be a clearing-out of some of the facilities not able to weather the current money problems. The forecast for a hot British summer might have an impact, but people still like to get away!

Looking forward to getting back soon, so might be some more stuff happening. I for one am positive about the place!
