Advice Needed

My Mum (50) and Dad (53) are looking to book their first holiday to Turkey, as a late deal around the 12 May 2011 for their 30th Wedding Anniversary.

They are thinking either self catering or half board. Can anyone recommend any good hotels? They would preferably like the transfer time to the hotel a short as possible so not anywhere like Alanya with a 2hour transfer time.
My Mum and Dad are not sunbathers and like to stroll about and visit markets. They like eating out and are not ones for staying up partying at night.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Well my mum and dad have stayed in Bitez, on the Bodrum Peninsula a few times and they love it there. They do like to sit on the beach but they also like to have a stroll, a nice meal out and a wander round the shops and markets. There are no loud bars in Bitez, just a few quiet places to have a drink and lots of good restaurants.

Have a look at Meis Apartments or Basri Apartments, they are both very nice.

Bitez is about 45 minutes from the airport. It is also just 10 minutes by bus to Bodrum, where there are lots of shops, a harbour, a castle and a weekly market.

I'm sure your parents would like it in Bitez.

I agree that somewhere on the Bodrum peninsula might be good for them. Bodrum itself is nice to wander around and the castle is interesting but I wouldn't stay there - too busy. As kedi says Bitez is nice and I also like Gumusluk.

We also like Bitez - it is not too busy and noisy and within easy distance of Bodrum using the local dolmus.
