Well, i`ve just returned from Marmaris yesterday evening and i really can`t see what everyone raves about. I would not go back there if it was the last place on earth! From what i`ve experienced of Turkey this last 2 weeks i wouldn`t wish it on anyone, the hassle from shopkeepers and resturant waiters is non stop, you can`t walk passed a shop or resturant without being almost man handled in. What tops the lot for me was in a place called Natalies Steak House, we had a very pretty 13 year old girl with us in our party, one waiter was blatantly leering at her from the moment we walked in, it got so bad that the girl and her mother left thier steak and waited for the rest of us outside, even then the leering didn`t stop then as the waiter spotted them outside, i was ready to give this creepy leering slimeball a good hiding but was talked out of it by my wife. Give me spain every time!

I can understand how you feel fatboyrover especially about the girl, its a bit sick really!

But about the shops haha we love that, it gives a sshop a bit of character whereas when your in spain you walk into a shop get your things like you would in the UK, the till person could be a robot and it wouldnt make a difference haha. but i do understand your point im just a freak though haha!!! :tongue

I`m glad you find it funny TPR1966, maybe if it was your young daughter they were leering at you would have a different attitude! From my experience the Turkish men are nothing but slimey sleazeballs!

TPR1966 has been banned for stirring up trouble in several topics across the forum. I suggest members ignore his posts and get back on track.

Hi Just a note to say if you tell the lads how old she is they would have backed off pubs and clubs here cant tell how old girls are, its no excuse i know i have had the same with my daughter when she was younger but they are not all the same and sorry you have experienced it.

Just wanted to say to fatboyrover that the amount of hassle you get depends on the resort you go to. We went to Dalyan and there was no hassle at all, also Calis Beach/Fethiye is the same.

Fatboyrover think yourself lucky your wife talked you out of giving the waiter a good hiding ,you really dont want to end up in a turkish jail . :yikes

hi nikkichick the alize looks really nice just out side ur hotel is cousins you get a good meal in there and the drinks are cheap buy one get one free . if you go tell mr happy the sunderland lot were asking after him. you would jump on the bus from that side of the road to go down to the front . it is cheaper to eat a little set back if you do feel that ur getting hassled to eat every where a pollite no thanks will sort it or just say para yok ( no money ) . the hassle is wot i like about turkey i hate going to places that are the same as england may aswell go to devon or spain if you like the hassle off time share people. have fun nikkichick :sun2

We have eaten in cousins and had the bogof on drinks.... it's not my fave place but it's handy for the alize, espec after a day on the mega diana when we were feeling slightly under the weather pmsl.... too much tuborg? moi? never!!! :rofl

My hubby likes to go there for his kebabs for his lunch (yes kebabS greedy git pmsl!!) I will say hi from the sunderland lot for you!

2wks today and we will be there! yeay!!

fatboyrover; I'm glad we went to Turunc on our first visit to Turkey as Marmaris would have put us off for good.
Honestly there are other lovely parts; you have to do a bit of research first as the resorts can differ so much ,as for eg,in Marjoker.
