a decent cup of tea!

I'm not one for missing too much from the UK but tea is one of them. The stuff they call tea here(liptons bags) is positively peewater! I do manage to sneak in my years supply of pg tips whenever I go back. But there is a place in Icmeler that serves a proper cup of tea/coffee with a lovely slice of cake. Just the thing during this hot weather! It's called Karma restaurant (english owned) and it's near the police station. Inside is wonderfully decorated al la Olde english and air conditioned! Also very reasonably priced.

When I drink tea in Turkey I just add a drop of milk to Turkish tea - much better than Liptons!

I think it's the water too - that makes a difference to a cuppa. I've used Yorkshire Teabags out there, and they never taste quite the same as a cup of tea made over here.

Mind you, I'm more of a coffee drinker - and I still haven't found anywhere in Turkey that does a good coffee. I can't understand why!

We love the Turkish tea, but sometimes get strange looks when we ask for Turk Cay instead of just tea!

Hi Colette

Police station is near Eastenders not far for you to go for a cuppa from you hotel.

correct and they do great coffee as well.... several different blends and they grind the beans!
It's just somewhere totally different from the normal fun pubs and great for that time in the afternoon when you have finished with the beach but not ready for the evening.

Thanks Lynn and Kev, one last question, Do they do a nice brekkie to go with that cup of tea?

I agree, it was lovely, you can choose, Tetley, PG Tips, Yorkshire Tea to name a few, and they do a lovely breakfast of eggs ( poached, fried or scrambled) toast, mushrooms, tomatoes and beans or you can just have cereal or just have toast and Jam etc.

Tea comes in a pot and it's just like " Home from Home"

Thanks Kevin for pointing this little Karma haven out to us
