5th time in Icmeler and again another good holiday
Weather was perfect... though it was starting to really hot up again couple of days before we flew back... prefered the first week in the mid 30's..
Stopped at the Tuncay apts again this year... was met by the ICR transfer driver at airport (was the only person from ICR we saw the whole fortnight.. didn't have a clue who rep was?)
Was met by our lovely host at apts Mustafa and we soon settled in as if it were 2nd home...
Favourite eating places this year were
Majestic on canal
Dream boys
Meyzen
Ozzy's
Lemon Tree
Love Star
Disappointing places were surprisingly
Lighthouse
Golden Moon.... Lighthouse no freebie bread & mese.... just really disappointing meals there...
My brother stayed at the Rhodes apts.... they seemed ok.. but really noisey... we could hear their racket from our apts.... just glad I wasn't stopping there.... 2nd week alot quieter when the 2 large groups left....
Didn't do many trips this year as (been there done it) apart from boat trip... infact 2 of them... 1st week 16 of us chartered our own boat... AB FAB... would recommend people to do it if there's enough of you..
Top food... as much as you wanted to drink... capt take you where ever you wanted.. stop whenever you wanted... Couldn't do another normal boat trip now... after that... spoils you... We all enjoyed it that much we booked again the 2nd week and he took us to some different as he put it 'special places' abit further out... very nice.... and it acutally worked out cheaper per head too than the normal boat trips... not all crammed up on the top deck with all the sunbeds... as I say... highly recommended..
All in all a good relaxing holiday... which for a couple of weeks I didn't think I was going to make it with one thing and another...
Bumped into Slats and his wife Bev while over there... If you are reading this Slats... nice to have met you...
Also... Dodge (Lynn) and Ian & Sam... nice to bump into you all again.. Also BIG hello to Wayne & jeanie... Megan & Brett who were at our apts with same time as us... 2nd year running.... we enjoyed yr company... you never know... we may see you next year too....
Trying the caribbean next year for first time.... whether we'll like it I don't know... but you never know till you try... never done A! before.... just fancied a change.... but we hope to return to Icmeler for a quick week maybe at end of Aug beginning of Sept nxt year... Seen the apts we want to go to.... keeping it a secret as I don't want it to get booked up... so I may start to look for flights soon....
We all still think that the old village is the best place to stay.... far to boom boom boom in the centre now for our liking... nice to walk down to it if you feel like a lively night...but otherwise we prefer the old village for abit more relaxing atmosphere... maybe its an age thing...
Icmeler quiet on tourists this year we thought... the traders who we've known a couple of years in the under ground market told us it's been dead all year for their trade.... felt sorry for them really....
All who's not been yet... enjoy...
Gail....
