Well it's less than 2 weeks now until we start the drive to Calis, will be myself, wife, dog & my brother driving over with my  brother having the pleasure of driving the rental van back on his own,  route is mapped  (going the encona Italy igoumenitsa Greece route) & sat nav with europe Turkey got.

May just need to book accommodation on route in Greece or Turkey but other than that hope to make Calis on Sunday 9th or Monday 10th April.

Looking forward to seeing how I can keep myself busy not being in holiday mode  (drinking eating out most nights)
& more sightseeing for free with walks & cycling  (intend to buy bikes) & hopefully a bit of fishing, anyone know if it's free to fish from the beach or do I need some kind for permit, when we eventually get a bigger property hope to keep myself busy gardening and growing as much from seed as possible, oh & hopefully playing darts & following fetiye sport more.

Not long now.

Hi lee, I am sure you have it covered but how do you bring a hire vehicle into turkey when I thought proof of ownership was required to have it stamped in on your brothers passport?

[pompeylee]

Hi Simon
This is from the republic of Turkey website,


7. Rental/hire cars may be temporarily imported, upon presentation of a valid rental contract, for the term of the contract. In case of doubt about the validity of the contract, a Turkish translation may be required.
