I am going to hisaronu soon for 2 weeks and looking for any tips for the area for eating out and any excursions.

How much does it cost roughly for a main meal in the evening and how much is your average drink (beer) (whisky & coke)

I would also be interested if anyone knows about prices for trips to ephuses and how long it takes to get there, I believe this is an overnight trip with pamukale included.

Also any information at all on prices for boat trips etc would be very much appreciated.

Hubby and I have not been to turkey for a long long time (17 years I think) so I do realise we will be surprised :shock: by the changes in turkey.

Many Thanks

I really like Hisaronu and whilst it is rather commercialised it's easy to get on a Dolmus to go to another town for a more peaceful day. For the evenings it's brilliant though - tonnes and tonnes of restaurants and bars to choose from.

I've stayed at the Telmessos twice and am going back this October to arrange my wedding there next May.

So if anyone is booking the Telmessos for around 5th May 2007 - I'm the one in the big ivory dress! :D

We got back from Olu last night (first time in this region) Absolutely loved it. It was small, friendly but an easy dolmus ride to Hisonaru which was buzzing - a bit too much for us to want to stay there but a great place to visit. We were hoping to go back in October but daughter crashed the car while we were away so there goes the Half Term break :cry: but she's OK and that's all that matters :lol: We'll get back next summer and can't wait.

Me and my family are visiting Hisaronu on Tuesday can anybody tell us about it? what is the weather like etc? we are stayin in the Orka Villas what are they like?

Hi, I was in Ovacik, 5 mins from Hisaronu in late May, it was hot for 3 days and cloudy for the other days although I'm told it was unseasonably cold and is normally hotter. I'm going back in October and have just booked for July next year! My mates villa in Ovacik is minutes walk from Orka Villas, in fact we passed them everyday. They have a very high reputation and we met a lady who bough a villa from Orka and has use of their facilities and she spoke very highly of them.

I'm confident you will love Hisaronu (I'm booked for going back twice so far!)

Have a look at my thread here for more info: http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=99524

as kevin has already said for those of you on your first vist
you should have a great time with good weather and plenty to do and eat
treat yourselves to some of the great trips on offer at all local travel agents/ tour agents in the village, for those of you who haven't been since last year there are a few changes the monday market has moved across the road and is now paved also there is a new shopping mall where the ata hotel used to be and also a migros super market more restaurants and a few new bars but still the place to be
hope you all enjoy your holidays and book early for next year and get a deal :lol:

Hi, we go in two weeks, can anyone give me an idea of prices for meal - for family of 4 - in £'s. We are just deliberating in how much to take. Thanks.

Hi Tracie,

There is a topic somewhere knocking around that dicusses about " how much to take "
However i will try to give you some idea, a simple kebab will cost between £1.5op and £ 2.7op, chips are about £1.oop omelettes from about £ 1.50. Fish and chips are about £ 6.50
So from a simple meal of around £ 3.50 or so after that chicken meals run at about £6.oop, Steak is anything from £ 7.50 upwards, then drinks on top of that, you could well be looking at at between £ 15.oo and £ 20.oo per meal.
There are two of us that normally go and i go through about £ 50.oop a day, but that's everything, meals, drinks ( lots of drinks ) :D trips and excursions.

Hope this helps.

:wink: Kev :wink:
