Hi
We went to Turkey for the first time in 2004 and we went to Side in the South and we flew into Antalya.
The hotel was excellent and the Turkish people are (in the main) so friendly it is amazing!
We decided that we would like to buy a house there, and so we hired a car and had a drive around.
Alanya is lovely, Antalya is too big, Side is fine (but lots of Germans)
We then drove North over the mountains and the scenery is just fantastic!
We eventually found Bodrum and we stayed there the night and had a look around.
We just FELL IN LOVE with the place !!!!
We now have a house in Gumusluk, which is in between Yalikavak and Turgetreis.
Gumusluk is just to die for !! But it is very quite, no disco's here!!!
Bodrum has a very good nightlife, and so does Bitez and Gumbet.
The last time we went we travelled further North and went to Kusadasi. We were not too struck on this one.
We went South and loved Gocek !!! (Aparently George Bush has been there!!) Very small and quite but lovely.
So...... You need to have a look around.... depends on what you want.... we all like different things.... but Turkey, (if you find the right spot) is terrific
