Title: Milk, and maps...
Post by: countingbees on April 13, 2010, 11:52:54 AM: Hi everyone,
My partner and I are off to Turkey for the first time this week, and the hub is a bit panicky about the milk situation--we've already been advised to bring tea bags (he's strictly a Tetley man!!), and now he's heard that fresh milk is hard to come by and he's thinking of chucking the whole holiday so he can stay home by the fridge! If he doesn't get his 12 cups a day, he's NOT happy.
Is milk readily and easily got in Kalkan, or will we have to hunt for it?
Also, are there any good on line maps with all of the streets labelled? We're staying on Palmiye Evleri, and I can't seem to locate it on google maps. (We're getting a transfer from the airport, and the driver knows where our house is, but I just want to see it!)
Cheers,

cb

Milk is longlife - skimmed, semi-skimmed or full fat!
Both EK and KTLN have street maps of Kalkan.

Enjoy your holiday1

It was in the fridge in the supermarkets and is in plastic containers marked 'sut'. If it says 'arian' it is a youghurt drink and looks like sour milk. On the days the fresh milk was available it's 'use by date' was that day so you have to be quick before it goes off. It wasn't available every day. For us the semi skimmed long life is ok.
