A Great Time To Visit Turkey

[FantasyIreland]

Did you go for a package or organize it all yourself ?

First choice - All inclusive,private transfers - excellent.

I think I would pay for the private transfers to negate the transfer times they advertise.Two and a half hours sounds excessive after a long flight.

Sorry Blue my bad I was on about the internal transfers from the airport to resort. Most are quoting in excess of two hours.

Anyone looking to book Turkey this year with their lira shaping well and bobbling around the seven and a half mark. Looking for a quick in and out getaway for May and have more of a propensity for Greece and maybe Stalis but Bobbette has been sniffing at the idea of Turkey for a cheeky week and says how nice Marmaris looks. It ticks all the right boxes with plenty going on to keep even the most restlessly ardent of holidaymakers happy. Pubs karaoke discotheques live turns by the bucket full etc etc but what vexes me is the ghastly flight times by TUI and especially Jet2 getting there late at night and then on the way home being slung out of your digs at dinner time and then suffering the indignity of being homeless until the ride to the airport at 2200 to get back in Manny at daft o clock in the morning. And then if that's not bad enough jet2 say it takes around 2.5 hours to get to your gaff after a 4.5 hour flight so it's not really conducive to hi de hi atmospherics. If I was doing 10 or 11 days then maybe I could hack the yomp but 7 days would take an extraordinary amount of effort and focus. I could do 10 or 11 nights if the deal was right. It's not really on my radar but she seems mad for it so I said I would have to investigate further as it's not all about her hollibobs and I need it to tick a few boxes of my own.

I must admit though it does look the real deal and I couldn't imagine going their all inclusive n watching a parrot show and slurping effe out of a plastic cup with all this amazingly honest to good nonsense going on outside. A few deals coming up around the £275 mark for bed and breckie for the week with £30 off as we have a voucher from January. Hardly cost prohibitive then at the £245 mark and in fairness you couldn't do Blackers for that. I'm not sure though because Greece is peretty good in May time too.

We have been going to Marmaris for the last 6 or 7 years, if you go do yourself a couple of favours.

Book a private transfer, only takes about an hour. Air conditioning and drinks as well as entertainment make it seem shorter.
Go self catering, the food over there is cheap but really good, you can't really go wrong.

Yes, thought when you said 2 hours it was flying into somewhere else, I guess you mean on the buses that stop everywhere from Antalya airport into the town is about 10 miles and taxis fairly cheap. But depends which resort you were looking at.

Was in Gocek, Mugla last summer. Private arrangement, some British guy owned villa with pool. Small place, no beaches at all, only marines and yacht people. Very, very nice for family holidays and Fethiye is half an hour drive if you need some bigger city shot. Highly recommended.

I''ll have a peep shortly mate.One to avoid is the Teletext shysters who advertise cheep unachievable prices to hook in you in and then always give a final price well in excess of the advertised price.They say it's because the price advertised is not a live price but I smell ground-baiting and catapults full of it.If any one wants to try an experiment ring them a few times and see if they sell at the price advertised.Rung one this morning and it was two hundred pounds out.Good grief !

I'm going in June.
