cashed mine in hotel or at kiosk selling boat trips next door to Hotel Okaliptus.
similar rate of exchange, but no real idea if it was a good or bad one, only a few lire difference anyway.
there are atm's at the other end of the "strip"

Briar - no probs. Do you want to pm me the details and I will see what I can do. You will have to give me directions to the jewellers because the one I use is in Bodrum ( Have been getting brilliant deals on silver for 10 years!)

Going Monday, 4 September.

Will do my best for you, honey bunny. Sorry you can't get there this year. I would really miss my 'turkey time' if I had to miss it.

Pat and Del, hope you and your respective partners have a wonderful holiday. I am sure you will - can't fail to in Bitez.

Not long to go now. Hope there isn't too much delay with the flights. :fly

Best Wishes, Marn and Mike.

14 sleeps!! I don't sleep the night before - just in case I get a sudden onset of sleeping sickness and don't waken up for 2 weeks. :omg Thanks for the good wishes Marn & Mike - will think of you when I sink my first glass of Efes. :ghug

Hi Pat,

Please give our best to Chris and staff. Forgot to mention in previous message.

I'm just like you regarding sleep the night before. That's why sometimes I prefer a night flight.

DO have an EFES and think of us. We might be there again next May, fingers crossed. :glynis

LOL Marn.

Hi Pat,

If Del asks at First Stop for you he can't go wrong. It's a lot easier than you looking for his hat. :bhead

That's true, Marn. Just ask for the short, fat lady with the big hat! Can't go wrong. :ghug

We have always wanted to go to Ephesus but as our preferred resport is Olu Deniz it has always been too far away. (Hubby can't stand coach journeys) I am looking at Bitez for next year as it sound like it might be our sort of place and not too far away from Ephesus. Does anyone know how long it would take to get there.

Any info on Bitez would also be helpful.

Hi, Wendy

If hubby doesn't like coach trips then he might still find it a bit of a trip from Bitez. You may be better doing the 2 day trip that takes in Pamukkale as well - have to say though that it is still a long trip on the way back. The view from the top of the hills is spectacular and if you get to stop there it is a marvellous place for taking pictures.

Personally, 'Sir' and I love Bitez - nice beach, good restaurants, friendly people! What more can I say? Oh yes, it is close to Bodrum and the rest of the peninsula if you want a change of scenery or to visit the historic sights - and more shopping than you could want in a year!

You may get the impression that some of us here are a bit 'fond' of Bitez and you would be right. If you do decide to go there I hope you enjoy it as much as we have over the last 5 years.

:D :D
