I stayed in a hotel near to hotel Linda 12 years ago and it is in the Tyrengol area outside of Side.Its a fair walk to the town but there are dolmus every 15 minutes.The hotel Emirhan is on the other side of Side and is within easy walking distance of the old town either along the beach or road.Both are used by other european travel agents.We stayed near to the Emirhan last March and I prefer that area as there are plenty of shops,bars and resturants near by.The area where the Linda is was a bit run down when we went in March.Thomas Cook have excellent deals for March nearer the time and you wont be the only British in the hotel.The hotel I stayed in the Hemera was brilliant and a nice mix of nationalities.I could have had the 4star plus Voyage Sorgun select last March for £206 for 2 weeks AI,but I didnt want to stay in that area.
