Fantastic place been 4 times, Olu Deniz where the blue lagoon film was made pure paradise.

Went to marbella this year what an over rated, over priced place.

I felt like a right gonk driving around in my blingo and there was ferraris, rolls royces, porches every where
especially in porta banus. I went to one bar in porta banus and charged me 40 euro for 2 JD and coke my arse nearly fell out, and left quick smart.

I've had three breaks of one week this year.  That's unheard of for me as it's normally one week away and maybe a long weekend or two.  Mind you, I could only afford it due to be given people's spare rooms F.O.C. on two of the weeks.

No way, i dont think id have the balls to do it to be honest, i saw a video of the drive up the mountain and that looked scary enough for a start, a mate of mine has done it though and loved it..

all the people i talked to said the drive up there was the worst bit! and they said no way are they going back down in the  jeep so they had to jump!

we were sat around the pool and we saw one spirling outta control over the sea and he crash landed in sea, he was fine but he fell quite a way!!

2 people got tangled up to

and one landed in our pool!! but he was messing about russian people, they fond it hilarious, but people were NOT happy!

2 weeks of sun guaranteed every time, we looked at appartments over there, we'd move in a flash but family and friends are holding us back

yeh, start a window round over there:) a friend of mine moved to cyprus and window cleaned!
Is it very expensive to find an apartment there??

Post by: LWC on August 31, 2008, 11:36:17 am
nope, we looked at this fantastic place, 2 bedroom, good sizes, nice living room and kitchen, air con'd and out look up a big forest and a massive pool, i fell in love, it was like 35k!

it can be a buisness setup too with you being able to rent it out to holiday makers

make your money back!

i spoke to some of the turkish people about window cleaning and they all laughed and said they do it themselves, they work very hard over there for not much money, but things are getting more expensive over there

if you go for a jump lol, look out for easy riders, they are the most trusted round there as i remember

Mehaba :P

Been to Ovacik 7 or 8 times in the last 13 years. Stayed at Ramos Place and also the Karbel in Olu Deniz

Boy has it changed. When I first went there, they only had 3 restaurants and a couple of bars. Goats use to come on the Dolmus with the passengers and if the dolmus was full, the locals would take you in their own cars if you were going in the same direction.

Best place for a great hol ;D

First time I went I was a bit wary because they are muslims and have arab neighbours. But the people are really nice and very british in their outlook. I feel very at home there, more at home than on a british high street or town centre.

I remember some years ago the germans not liking them because they pinched all their jobs, but i think they are great.
Over here they run great chips shops and restaurants and over there they make the best fakes in the world. The quality of their manufactured clothing is outstanding, and the morality of so called brand names in having kit slave laboured in poor parts of the world and then sticking us for high end prices is upside down. Give me a genuine well made fake anyday.

Ichmela is the bit we go and always watch bobby kents showgirls with chicken in a basket. Me eight year old loves it.
Dolmush (stuffed vine leaves), rocket ships that sing at five in the morning, greeters that my eight year old loves to show the allinc wristband too......cracking fun.

Fish and chips is better there than it is here!

Alwaay at The Grand Aquarium Apartments in Icmeler - fantastic place. Alayna is great but full of Germans. gumbet is purpose built for tourists, but you get to visit nearby Bodrum (same distance as Icmeler to Maramis) Your right Discount Turkish people are great and its a place you fell safe in.
