Yikes!!!!...you truly are a newbie to turkey..it''s a very palatable beer..widely sold and easy to drink...if you want to try before you go Wetherspoons sell it for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£1.89.....in Kalkan you will pay 3.5Tl /4TL..on average.....some of the bars Yali/moonlight charge 5TL for a large draught one..i''m sure after a couple of days you will become expert at guzzling this highly quaffable beverage

When they bring your first one of the evening to the table pour half of it out and leave the ice cold bottle dripping with condensation......nothing beats it

I forgot we always land midday and the first Efes for me is in the Esso garage, the one with the swimming pool....joy

Anyone else notice it''s getting hard to find an iced glass ? used to be several places that served beer like that.....BLISS!!...unless anyone knows a secret place?

Pop round to my gaff Mr Lizard, I always drink my Stella, from a frosted glass which my good lady pops into the freezer. My other favourite long drink, in a frosted glass of course, is Campari (don''''t laugh) and tonic, in fact I''''m going to fix myself one right now. Cheers!

ps, Efes in the U.K. doesn''t taste the same as in Kalkan somehow!

The best Efes I have had was on a recent weekend break to Istanbul, with my wife. We had a lovely pint(ish) of cold draft Efes, in fact it was so good we both told the barman it was the best Efes we had ever had. Somewhat sheepishly he then admitted that the Efes had run out so he had connected the Efes pump to a barrel of Becks.

Overall I think Efes is okay but nothing special, after a week or so I am usually looking for a change; apparently there are a couple of bars that sell Tuborg in Kalkan (I have only found 1 to date, the Samira DeLuxe).

Yali Supermarket sell other makes of beer ...Corona is nice chilled and if you tell people you''ve been guzzling Corona they will think you mean fizzy pop!!

Allanchris..i will keep you to that when we are in Kalkan at the same time!!

Thats worth remembering..could be just the jobbie after getting super baked on the beach..we never seem to stop off at the cafe.........could be just like a scene from "Ice cold in Alex"

You can get beer in iced glasses at Cafe del Mar.

BL - next time you watch ''Ice Cold in Alex'' keep an eye on the level of the beer in the glasses. Don''t know how many takes it took to film the bar scene, but they must have knocked a few back!

Apologies for going off topic.

AllanChris · « **Reply #14 on:** July 04, 2009, 05:34:56 PM »

I read that it did take quite a few takes, and that John Mills was quite wobbly after!

I had a BIG love crush on Sylvia Syms after seeing her in the film ''''The Moonraker'''' (with George Baker),
showing my age I guess.

Oops, still off topic!

misty · « **Reply #15 on:** July 04, 2009, 05:53:22 PM »

I''ve got a tin of Efes in the fridge for tonight......its the closest I will get to Kalkan this year

I had a big love crush on the lady from Bewitched..... Elizabeth Montgomery

Blue Lizard · « **Reply #16 on:** July 04, 2009, 07:18:29 PM »

Maybe she can wiggle her nose and make your 1 tin of Efes into 20!!

Lougie · « **Reply #17 on:** July 04, 2009, 07:22:49 PM »

Efes is on offer in our local Tesco, just had a few with a BBQ, very nice but not the same as drinking them in Kalkan

popps · « **Reply #18 on:** July 04, 2009, 08:02:08 PM »

Anyone know what the "40" means on the bottle labels? You don''t get taht in Weatherspoons.

kevincat99 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 04, 2009, 08:43:53 PM »

It has been "on the go " for 40 years
