Humpy Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 So the girlfriend and I thought we would book a cheap last minute holiday. Fly off a week Friday to Turkey for 2 weeks in 4* all inclusive ( beer o'clock ) Wouldnt dare say it to the other half but Im still imagining what lovely mods I could do to the Zed with what we have spent! Anyone stayed South West of Turkey near the Aegean Sea/coast and any recommened places to visit. Cheers Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I have a villa in Turkey in the South where are you actually going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpy Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 I have a villa in Turkey in the South where are you actually going? Going to a place in Ovacik, about 15/20 minutes away from the coast. Nearest beach attraction seems to be Oludeniz beach ( blue lagoon ).

ace Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Oh man, your going to have a whale of a time that's where my Villa is I got back from there last week and the temperature was in the 40's take plenty of sun cream. I don't know where to start for you to visit first, for eating out and night life you can walk down into Hisaronu town it's a strip about a mile long full with resturants and bars I eat out every night as it's so cheap and I'm talking steaks and lamb shanks for £8 a full blown meal with wine will be about £18 ahead. If your wanting a beach you need to go to Oludenuz Beach it's another resort about 1/4 mile too far to walk but cabs are about £5 or a dolmus (bus ride) £2. It's the most photographed beach in the World if you don't want waves walk around the corner to Billys beach in the lagoon where I watched turtles surfacing while out with the kids on the pedoloes. If you have the nerve you must do a paragliding jump Oludenuz has the highest jumping site in Europe it's nealy 7000 feet high and takes nearly an hour to get to the landing strip which is on the beach as for day trips go on a jeep safari your'll love it but be prepaird to get wet! Let us know how you got on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you got on Excellent, so glad you are giving it good reviews! Damn it should of just stayed at your villa We are staying here http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Revi ... Coast.html which is in its first year of opening so you may know of this place? Will definately be eating out a few nights to get away from the hotel restaurant as we are fully inclusive and fancy going to some traditional Turkish taverns etc. As for the The Oludenuz beach, will be going there for sure and interesting fact about it being the most photgraphed beach! Heard that turtles pop up in the sand next to you if your lucky.... Think Some snorkelling action will be going on. Cheers for the info though Ace, much appreciated.

ace Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi there, The Turkish Lira has never been so good it's extremely cheap out there but this year is even cheaper I can only recommend that if you want a cheap holiday to a fantastic destination go there.

If you visit Fethiya which is a must go to the fish market it's an area that has seafood stalls selling fresh caught fish and huge prawns they clean them for you then the resturants surrounding the stalls cook the food for you for only 6 lira it's a fantastic site to see.

Humpy Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Just literally got back in from my holiday in Turkey and have to say what a cracking holiday! Ace will give you abit more detail of the holiday etc but if you have a villa over in Ovacik then Im very jealous indeed. Need to catch up on the forum though, 6 pages worth just on the 'off topic discussion' Ps. On a good note my pop charger was waiting for me when I got in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
