Fethiye Turkey a holiday destination for those that like to relax

Advantages: The weather and friendly reception you will get in every shop you go to.
Disadvantages: The weather some times its to hot..pheeeeew

...First of all let me say I have lived here 5 years and have first hand knowledge regarding the area. Fethiye on the southern coast line of Turkey is a beautiful town that still has many links to its past. This however is not a place for those looking for the party nightlife and clubs, although there are a couple of clubs there they are not, in my opinion, Ibiza. There is plenty of sea though so if swimming, yachting, diving, fishing, taking a boat trip or just relaxing on the beach at Oludenize with its tourquoise clear water is your 'cup of tea' you will not find a better area. There is every chance you will see Turtles swimming close to the waters edge in Fethiye, I have seen them myself they are lovely. Shopping is not to bad either with many brand name companies starting to set up here and there is always the old area called 'The...

Holiday !

Advantages: Nice sweet film, romantic comedy
Disadvantages: Not the best romantic comedy I have seen, some may find it too sickly sweet!

...where she discovers Amanda. They decide to take a break from their troubles and get away from the men in their lives so house swap for a couple of weeks over the Christmas period. Amanda swaps her luxurious modern house in California for Iris?s quaint little cottage in the English countryside. Iris soon makes friends with Arthur a retired screen writer and sets about trying to help him. Her love interest comes in the form of Miles (Jack Black) a film composer who works with Amanda?s ex. Amanda meanwhile meets Graham (Jude Law) who is Iris handsome brother and has an eye for the ladies. Will it be a holiday romance or will both these women find love when they least expect or want it? ***** My Thoughts ***** Having missed this at the cinema I was very keen to rent it to watch, certainly keener than my husband who did agree...

THE JEWEL OF TURKEY!

Advantages: Cheap and Beautiful
Disadvantages: Hassle off Restaurant promoters so to speak....

...When i heard that i was going on holiday to Turkey 2 years ago, all that went through my mind was "Is it close to Iraq?!?" I thought of this due to the emense fighting that was going on in Iraq at the time i was going. I also thought "What if Turkey isnt fun?". May 21st 2003, was the day i first went to Turkey with mixed emotions i boarded my plane from Birmingham to the Airport nearby to the resort of Marmaris named Dalaman. +~ ON THE OTHER SIDE ~+ Dalaman is about 1hr and 30 mins away from the actual resort. Upon entering the terminal you have to have your passports ready straight away as you have to pay a visa, From the UK this price is £10 but it varys from place to place. The main terminal building is small but your luggage usualy come round quite quick, and the cost of a luggage trolly is about £1. Outside of the airport...

Hanging out with the Fairies in Turkey

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, eerie architecture, lovely people
Disadvantages: Not so easy to get to, very hot in summer

...is - slap bang in the middle of Turkey. It's in the central Anatolian plane - a long way from the seaside and, at the time of writing, a long way from Van province where the bird flu problems have been to date. Why would I want to go to Cappodocia? ******************************** Well, that's pretty much what my parents asked me. Why go to Turkey and not go to the seaside? If you want a beach holiday or a lazing around the pool trip, this isn't for you. However, Cappodocia has some of the most spectacular and eerie scenery in the world and it's perfect for an easy-to-moderate walking holiday especially if you like a combination of history and topography. Millions of years ago - some estimates say about 10 million so geologically speaking, that's the week before last - volcanoes erupted in the region covering the land with thick...

the holiday

Advantages: good film for over christmas
Disadvantages: chick flick

...The Holiday- I tried to get to see his at the cinema but i unfortunately missed out. Although after reading the reviews it was a mixed opinion, so as soon as it came out i purchased it so that i could judge for myself and its a great film. With Kate Winslet, Jack Black, Jude Law and Cameron Diaz it was an all star cast and a hopeless romantic film a definate chich flick. Its about Iris(Kate Winslet) who is in love with a man who is about to marry another woman and then thee is Amanda (cameron Diaz) who realizes the man she lives with has been unfaithful. The two women meet online at a home swap website and switch homes for the holiday. Iris moves into Amanda's L.A. house in sunny California as Amanda arrives in the snow covered English countryside. Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the last thing...

The Holiday

Advantages: Nice Christmas Film
Disadvantages: Nothing

...with her boyfriend but finds out he has been cheating on her, she is also heart broken and decides she needs to get away from it all and looks into booking a holiday. While trawling through the internet Amanda finds Iris' house being advertised on a house swap website and they both agree to swap houses over the Christmas period. Their houses could not be more different as Iris lives in a little cottage and Amanda lives in a mansion in Hollywood. This film shows Iris and Amanda on a journey of self discovery, travelling across the Atlantic to unfamiliar places they are able to learn more about them selves without them realising it. Both characters meet new and interesting friends while house swapping and this is where the story really begins. While Amanda feels totally out of her depth being in England living in a cottage and driving...

For a quiet holiday

Advantages: Quiet
Disadvantages: Pools are small

...Aegean apartments With only a couple of weeks of my holiday left and the rest frittered away, himself and I decided to book a cheap and cheerful week away, and after looking at various options Turkey seemed the best value. We had been to altinkum before and again, it served a secondary purpose because both teenage sons had were there and it was quite possible they were running out of money. We booked the Aegean apartments and whilst it was advertised as a five star complex, we were not expecting anything especially wonderful because a week self catering cost only just more than £300 each. After a delayed flight and travelling through the night, the coach drove down what seemed like a dirt track but with lots of other apartments lining the streets and left us at the gates of the apartments. So far so good, although it was 6 am...

  Tremendously Taken with Turkey

Advantages: Fabulous
Disadvantages: None

...I have to admit, I have never really been interested in hotel reviews and have never been tempted to write one until now. However, I've come back from a great holiday and hopefully, after reading this, some of you will consider Turkey as your next holiday destination! TURKEY --------------- Turkey is located in south Eastern Europe and south Western Asia, next to Iran, Iraq and Syria, and near Cyprus and Greece. It's a four hour flight away from England. The capital city is Ankara, and the main language is Turkish, followed by Kurdish. The currency is lira, and is such a pain, especially if you're rubbish at Maths like me! One million lira is about 40p, although the exchange rate fluctuates. Keep counting the noughts and you should be okay though. Obviously the language is Turkish but most people spoke German (not many people...
