Hi,

Does anybody know whether there is smoking in the rooms and bar of the Meldi hotel?
Also, can you buy cheap, genuine cigarettes in Kalkan to take home to the UK?
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Mike.

Hi Mike - certainly at the bar - as the bar is outside anyway!!

Not sure about the rooms - why don''t you e-mail Fatih and ask him....meldi@meldihotel.com

Cheers!

PS: you will have THE best time at the Meldi!

Thanks Felicity,

I gather from your posts that you are a regular visitor there?!..

Looking forward to it.

Thanks again.

hi mike.....don''t know about the hotel ...you can buy ciggies in Kalkan but the choice isn''t as good as the airport,you can buy when you land and depart,The ones at the airport you know will be genuine from duty free,you will also ensure you get your brand at the airport...if you buy fakes they can take them away from you...(ex smoker)

Thanks Blue Lizard,

I will buy them at Dalaman airport when we depart.
Much appreciated.

Mike.

Hi Mike - yes - still a regular visitor there - although no need to stay there anymore (and non smoker - which is why I don''t know about smoking in the rooms) as we have our own lovely place in Kalkan - but they are all still our really good friends and we can all be found there - most days (kids filling up my tab..!!)..when are you going to be staying there..

mjweedon · « **Reply #6 on:** April 25, 2008, 05:30:35 PM »

First week in June - so fingers crossed the weather will be good.
Looking forward to the Meldi and Kalkan.

You should check with the Hotel as the No Smoking legislation came into force this year.as part of the EU Harmnisation. I doubt you will be able to smoke anywhere in the hotel, but it maybe wise to check.

I''m sorry - Mike - will miss you - I will be there propping up the bar during the second week in June - and the weather will be lovely then -for sure!! Enjoy it!!

I had a feeling that the EU harmonisation has 18 months to take effect...sure there is a thread on this already...but you would do good to check with the Meldi!

Cheers!

That''s a shame. Well hopefully we will be back again and will find you propping up the bar then.
Thanks for all your advice and help - much appreciated.

Mike.

Hi! I don''t know about Kalkan but I went to Side two weeks ago, and I certainly didn''t see any effects there what so ever of the new smoking legislations. Everybody smoked everywhere, inside as well as outside

we will be staying in Korsan Apartments. At home I always have my ciggie outside. can I do this at Korsan on the balcony?

Chucky · « **Reply #12 on:** May 02, 2008, 08:17:52 PM »

Hi Hilary,
I have e-mailed Claire and will let you know her response.

Can you let me know too please Joan - worried smilie!

Chucky · « **Reply #14 on:** May 02, 2008, 10:57:26 PM »

Will do Sally, if the worse comes to the worse, you will both have to join me on my balcony.

( But Ismet will still tell us off)

sally · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2008, 01:37:28 PM »

Thanks, Joan. I''ll bring the gin

Chucky · « **Reply #16 on:** May 13, 2008, 10:09:26 PM »

Just an update for Sally and Hilary,
You will still be able to have your crafty fags on the balcony.
I will look out for the smoke signals!!!!
You can still join me for a gin & T

Shevil · « **Reply #17 on:** May 15, 2008, 09:12:20 PM »

I get that you''ll not be able to smoke inside restaurants but most tables are set outside, will it be banned there as well? I surely hope not, I can''t imagine sitting with my Efes and not being able to smoke unless I leave my beer and cross the street or something...

Chucky · « **Reply #18 on:** May 15, 2008, 10:01:03 PM »

The feedback I have been getting is that the no smoking ban for restaurants, bars etc does not come into effect until next year, but perhaps recent visiters can give us their feedback?

Lets hope the non smoking mafia dont get thier way as in the UK.
