We were last in Alanya in 2006 for the eclipse and thanks to this forum we discovered the beauty of Dim Cay.We took a bus up there and then walked as far as the top of the dam. We are coming back again next week and have a few questions which we hope you lucky folk who live there can help with................this year we had hoped to hire a car and actually drive beyond the dam so my question was originally about recommendations for car hire....(shirley ann you posted some info about this recently I think ???)BUT then I thought perhaps the whole point of the dam is that you cannot go beyond it any more..... should we just go by bus and walk again. If we do hire a car we had also thought about a day to take in Side,Manavgat,Aspenderos and Perge just so we get the time we want in those places rather then the tour operators ideas...or is it easier to just go with them.All help appreciated.............by the way the webcams of Alanya are a great idea and a great way to prepare for any holiday.
