Good lady and I have been going to Marmaris for the last ten years or so. I'm a year older than your husband and always have a great time. To say Marmaris is for the 18 - 30 brigade is way off the mark. It caters for all ages and you won't regret going there.

Turkey is fab for everyone when we go we love the place, we are 53 and 49 others that go with us (various family members) 20,22,48,52,64and74 and every time we go we all have a great holiday. Have a really good hoiday

Oldies? 43 and 53? Give yourself a break! I'm in-between those two ages and wouldn't even consider thinking of myself as an oldie! Perhaps more of a re-cycled teenager!!

I think you'll love it Cheryl and hope you do.

Was going to say the same as Yorkshire Boy - I'm in my early 40s and hubby will be 50 in October (while we're in Icmeler - yay!) and there's no way I'd describe either of us as "oldies". Age is just a number and Turkey has something for everyone!

My God !!! you are young chics, we are 65 and 69 no way do I consider my self old, its all in the frame of mind.We still have fun on holiday.
You will be fine in Marmaris as already said plenty for all ages, you will find your favorite places were you feel comfortable.Let us all know how you get on, Joan

Turkey is for all ages. Also it seems like most resorts cater for all ages. Olu Deniz definately does. I suppose some resorts attract more 18-30ties than others, but I dont think there is a Kavos or Falaraki type resort, although there may be hotels in Turkey that are in the 18 to 30 brochures so you might want to try and avoid those particular types of hotels as there could be a lot of slamming of doors at 4 and 5 am.

cheryl my husband ad 1 stayed at the rosy 3 years ago the very first holiday in marmaris did not spend to much time at the rosy but round the corner from the apartments is a bar restaurant called george and dragon not bad at all good servise from the staff and great dancers we are in marmaris in 2 weeks carn't wait have a great time im sure you will by the way my husband and i are 50 and we always enjoy marmaris

My OH and I are both 59 this year. Have been to Turkey for two or three weeks each year for the past five years. We love it. We went to Malta at Christmas and enjoyed it, but we would not hurry back. Holidays in Turkey can be what you want to make them. Chill out by the pool or on the beach all day followed by a good night in a bar, or days on trips to historical archaeological sights, or places of natural beauty or interest. We love boat trips and jeep safaris - both are excellent value for money. There are areas to enjoy a stroll. Organised trips through tour operators or diy ones on dolmus or coaches. Food can be English type or fantastic Turkish dishes.

Enjoy your hols

There was 4 of us couples that went to Marmaris this year,ages rangeing from 24 to 69,we all went out in the evenings together and had a fantastic holiday,the oldest couple said it was the best holiday theyd ever had.Weve all booked to go back again next year,says it all !!.

Thanks for all your comments,my mind is at rest,im now going with a positive attitude.
I think its my kids that make me feel old they are 18-25 five of them it was one of them that said marmaris is for younger people mum...ill show them now here i come marmaris.

And thanks to wendy and marria will try goerge and dragon.

You are so right its all the mind i now am feeling up and ready to go,im also going to do a jeep safari and have lots of fun now,thanks so much you have changed my outlook on my life....

Thanks Cheryl xx

Good for you Cheryl. I have to say when I read the title of your post I thought you were going to say you were 80 You are nowhere near old. My parents are in their 70s and they love Turkey, they are coming away with us in two weeks time. I have seen plenty of older people enjoying themselves in Turkey, and I don't mean people in their 40s and 50s, I mean in their 70s or older. It doesn't matter, you can have a good time at any age.

Hi Cheryl so glad we have all managed to change your outlook. Kids will always think there parents are oldies, you go for it and have good time.Life is for living

and boy do I feel like a teenager again on the jeep safari with my super-soaker and about 6 litre bottles of freezing cold water that's left in the hotel's fridge the night before!!! I've done 4 now and still think it's the best day out of the holiday.

I'll second that - why should the kids have all the fun

It makes me feel younger when I go to turkey. I am 56 and hubby the same but they treat us like young lovers.

hi cheryl,

you can never be too old for marmaris, i,m 57 hubby 58, we go to marmaris two or three times a year, and although we have been to many places, nothing compares to marmaris.

you say you are staying at the rosy, stayed there some years ago, it's very nice. just round the corner from the rosy is a lovely cafe bar called the little chef, this does really good food, and the people who own it are the best you could ever wish to meet, not far from the rosy is the george and dragon pub, we had some good fun here.

just across the road from the george and dragon is donatella travel, you must go on there boat trip on the mega diana, ( look at the mega diana thread) the best day out , we usually go two or three times per holiday.

faulty friends restaurant is a really good place to eat, it's on the beachfront , in front of the sun gezgin hotel.

i am sure you will love marmaris as much as we do, i,m going on the 15th september, then again in october, can't keep away.

have fun
marnie xx
