Side is ok, places to eat and nice scenery.

I went about 10 years ago and it was very much a German tourist resort so in smaller places they spoke german and turkish not english. It was very nice and the people were so friendly.

No 18-30s in sight, I went years ago though things could have changed!!

emc - a friend (early thirties) has recently returned from her hols in Turkey with a few other girls and is raving about how wonderful it was in Dalyan (quieter and more relaxed than other parts).


Olu Deniz apparently too commercial (you can't get a proper Turkish tea...), too many Brits (!) and not relaxing at all.


good luck

Just like to give another recommendation for Dalyan. I went about 4 years ago and it was fantastic. Loads of things to do but also very pretty and relaxed.

PM me if you'd like to know the name of the hotel and I'll have a search for it. Can also definitely recommend the restaurants we ate in.

Hello, I agree that the Turquoise Coast is gorgeous - Kalkan & Kas in particular. They're not really beach resorts - more set around the harbours, but there are 'beach clubs' which sound naff, but are lovely - hotels on the edge of the cliffs with loungers on platforms cut into the cliffs and ladders directly down into the deep sea. You can take some fantastic boat trips, and the choice and quality of restaurants is great too.


I've been several times, and am going (again) in October - can't wait!! By the way, there is an article in the Sunday Times Travel Magazine (june or july issue - not sure which) on The Turquise Coast.


Happy Holidays!

I'm booking to go to Turkey in September, found this which seems to be the winner at the mo - ?650 11 nights all inclusive

Is in Sarigerme which is a village outside Marmaris so quiet enough with local bars and restaurants or a cab ride to Marmaris if you fancy something livelier

Does Istanbul count as a 'resort'? It is a great city - and you can travel out to the islands for some tranquil time.


I'm thinking about travelling in the eastern parts of Turkey - there are some amazing unexplored places I've been looking into - but again not exactly what you'd call resorts.

I went to Hisaranou (near Olu Deniz) a few years ago and I'd agree with what katie1997 said - underwhelming

This place has been well recorded for having a prolific rapist on a motorbike and thus far has not been brought to book

because Turkish law thinks its o.k to treat women like s..t.

Give it a miss.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
