Hi all,
I have never been to Turkey before, always heard a mixture of good an bad reviews but never been brave enough to try myself.
However I am looking to try it out at the end of this month and wondered if anyone could give advice on where to go as there are so many places. I am looking for somewhere not heaving with Brits but quite chilled and relaxed in a nice hotel (looking to go All Inclusive as my partner eats like an elephant lol), also like to do the odd day trip so peoples experiences would be great....
Your help would be much appreciated!
Thanks guys, hopefully I will become a Turkey lover!

we love turkey and have been visiting it for over 26 years now , i like to try different resorts and ive been to most, we do like olu deniz and that has some lovely all incs like belcekiz beach, olu deniz resort, sun city etc, but there are a fair amount of brits that holiday here. the other place thats our favourite is akyaka, this has hardly any brits as its a turkish holiday resort, very scenic, but there are no all incs there, but its fairly quiet and chilled and has a lovely beach, but i think even the quiet resorts will be fairly busy in the height of the season

good luck
Datca is another consideration, Here your very very unlikely to find British tourists, I went here for a day trip 2 years ago, Small beach and not one person was on it, I didnt actually see one restauraunt that served British food eithier in my short time. Note to get to Datca it will involve a long transfer from Dalaman Airport, Or you could fly to Bodrum Airport and catch the local ferry from Bodrum Harbour direct to Kormen, Ferry leaves Bodrum harbour at 09.00, arriving Kormen at 11.00 from where a bus will take you into Datca center, To return,the bus leaves the town centre at 16.30 ready for the ferry departure at 17.00 arriving Bodrum at 19.00. I think the cost this year is approx £10 one way.

Turunc is also a fantastic location and has got a couple of AIs' but it is also very popular with Brits. It is still quite traditional though. There is more than enough to do in the way of going on trips, and getting around to other bays or resorts is easy either by dolmus of water-taxi.
If you do choose an AI wherever you decide its not a good idea to go for a cheap one, you do get what you pay for!
Good luck, and I'm sure once you've been you'll get the Turkey bug like lots of others on this forum!

No, I haven't tried either hotel. I usually stay 4 miles across the channel.
