Hi everyone
We went to Olu Deniz back in may/june of 07, and are returning in July/August 08. Have booked the flights through Aegean when they were cheap (paid £144 and they are currently £636!) but am now starting to think about the accommodation.
Firstly we have never returned to the same place twice, but I fell in love with both Turkey but in particular Olu and I do want to return there, however, we normally only go for 10/11 nights, but are going for 14 nights this time. So I have been wondering about possibly doing a two resort stay, a week in Olu along with a week somewhere else . . . its just having never been to any other part of Turkey, I wouldnt even know where to begin looking for the 2nd resort.
So any ideas or suggestions?
We are just me and my 7 year old son, dont want AI or HB as we dont like to be tied and my son is MEGA fussy! But we do like to be in a place where we can wander around in the evening, (which we loved Olu for!) somewhere with a nice beach, but also a nice pool at the hotel, kids clubs not essential but a family hotel would be. Our flights are into Dalaman, so we would obviously need to be at a place which is easy to travel to, and which isnt an excessive transfer time. We loved turkey, although my son was most disappointed there was no mini golf anywhere LOL, but any thoughts/suggestions are welcome.
Also, would need to think about the transfer from one resort to the other, dont want to do it by local bus etc,
Also, we stayed at the Karbel hotel last time in Olu and couldnt fault it, so anyone who has booked this as accommodation only, where have you found the best deals? Ive got a fairly good price through quick rooms, although when I spoke with this with the people at the Karbel, booking direct at that time was cheaper . . .so any help on that also would be most appreciated.
Thanks to anyone who can help . . .
209 days to go . . . LOL

HI KAREN.as it will be your 2nd week you may want a convienient place to stay not too far from the airport..why not give DALYAN a try...plenty of nice accommodation and cheap aswell,plenty to see and do for both you and the little one,wonderful eating places,boat trips on the river ,fantastic beach via boat or dolmus ...dont think you will go wrong..if you want some further info send me a P.M. ..WAKI xx
Some hotels and apartments do free transfere and AC, we stayed at the Mehtap last year very reasonable, nice people, going back in June.
I have also found some nice new apartments, 7 mins from town, free AC and transfer.Villa Kiydan close to the river and rock tombs, we have booked them for Sept, 4 weeks, AC and transfer, £730 x 2 adults
Thank you so much for your help . . .Im so torn cos I fell in love with Olu and Ive just got a fabulous price quote from sunshine.co.uk for the Karbel at only £320 for 14 nights which is even less than booking with them direct . . . hmmmm such decisions . . .
JOAN .i will be at the KIYDAN aswell in SEPTEMBER(10th).. but will be in DALYAN for 10 days in June staying out of town at the SEDIR resort...Kiydan looks nice so will take a peek in June in between the days that i'm not having dental work done in Ortaca.. WAKI
thanks for your help . . .my boy was the final decision maker LOL and he wants to go to Olu, but then said perhaps we can go out for a few days somewhere else LOL seeing as Ive had such a bargain deal for the whole of the holiday we will go off and do some trips and also hire a car
I booked the Karbel last year with http://www.somewhere2stay.com/beach and paid £72 for a week on B/B for 2 maybe worth taking a look.

I did check them out, as I looked also at everywhere else, but this one was by far the best price, and its cheaper than had I booked with them direct, if I wasnt completely tied to these dates then I would have booked it later maybe getting a better deal, but I cannot take that risk, plus we loved it so didnt want to then be in a position of not getting it, and I still consider £500 for 2 weeks in august for a holiday for us 2 to be great great value!
Sedir looks very nice to but as you say a bit out of town, may get to have a look while we are there.
See you around the pool then on 10th Sept, we are flying out from Liverpool 7 am so will be there in the afternoon.
I am asuming dental work is cheaper in Turkey, may get my husband to check it out, save some money.
dentistry joan is still far cheaper than the uk and my personel opinion its better quality my next appointment is in may along with the other half who is having two bridges done in porcerlin it has worked out the savings is another holiday
I would most likely agree about Dalyan as you are flying in and out of the Dalaman airport...to bad you could not fly in or out of Antalya as Cirali sounds perfect for you and your son........a lovely spot for a family vacation.
