given that that week is the end of ramadan and a lot of turks holiday then you should find the resorts fairly busy that week

dont worry too much, there will be loads of places still open. Its true that sme places will shut but more are keeping open during the winter this year. Marmaris doesnt completely close, just some of it.The good thing is that your money will go further a you can haggle the prices better

Briar your missing my point here, the Ramadan holiday starts 23rd Oct Thus effectively from the friday 20th Oct a large proportion of the Turks will be on holiday and a lot of them goto the resorts and stay in the big hotels. Now a couple of years ago Ramadan would have been 20 days later therefore at the end of the season or later, this year the resorts will probably be more open to catch this end of season trade.

Thinking of booking this for a week on the 23 oct this year half term week. I know its all icnlusive but it is quite cheap so if we wanted to eat out we could. We are booking it mainly to keep the little one entertined. Do you think there will still be plenty going on their seen as its coming to the end of the season or are we wasting our money. We could book the portobello through thomson for a week for £19 believe it or not but I did read a review that someone went in oct half term last year and the place was closing sown around them and I have reservations with it being so cheap. If someone could help I would be grateful as I need to get it booked.

Thanks Diane.

most places will still be open..if you can get a week for 19 quid ..go for it!!!

Got to agree. I'd jump at the chance.Been to Marmaris the last week and had a brilliant time. Just take a woolley for the evenings. My daughter is going 27th Oct for a week.

£19 FLAMING QUID!!!

I'd take a week unpaid off work for that! go for it I say. Even if there's hardly anything open, fact is the weather will be better than here and you're not at home are you?

WOW!

i am going to icmeler on the 20th october and went the same week last year.......it was great! weather was wonderful in the day, not a cloud in sight, but was a bit nippy at night. everywhere was open as normal but much quieter, did the normal trips, market, everything. i found that as i was leaving .....28th...so were they! so go for it.....you will have a fab time, i know i will

this time next week i will be sat with an effes ...or two... just chilling out, cant wait!

Olu Deniz should not be quiet as the world championship paragliding championships are on during half term.

Should be lots going on in the air to watch!!

Cant wait, off next Friday

The Club Belcekic Beach last October, had 150 families arrive for both the Engilsh half term week and the Scottish half term week (which are apparently 2 different weeks), so if its the same this year that should swell the numbers in Olu Deniz for the last 2 weeks of the season.
