well lets hope you enjoy it as much as we do, i prefer the real turkish resorts, my in laws stay last year for the first time and they loved it too. there are some lovely restaurants ,2 of them have part english owners , kazan restaurants shes married to a turk and food is always lovely, the other one is run by a english woman with a turkish business partner, cant remember the name of that one but again nice food, next to the handbag shop. we also like crystal at the top of akyaka excellent value although its got new owners so not sure what the food is like there now. on the sea front magician bar we love the manager john thats his english name ,turkish name hasan,lovely chap but food not the best, further along is yamur bar that does lovely lunch time snacks. if you like fish there are some boat restaurants along the riverside that sell fish and a few other things so cheap but i havent tried them as we dont eat fish, but look excellent value.

your apt is only about 5-10 walk to the beach downhill, we are a few minutes higher up, if we get too hot and bothered to walk back we get a taxi only 4 lira lol, thats lazy but sometimes when you are loaded with beach things and its hot you cant be bothered to walk lol

the sea is great for kids as very calm and shallow for a long way out and sandy, ellie loved it last year she played for hours in the sea and was 7. turkish older kids would look after her and play with her for hours.

we use the taxi at the top of akyaka the driver we use is zihni and hes lovely

there is a cove around the corner of akyaka thats supposed to be scenic but we havent ventured there yet, there are some boat trips too and a huge outdoor cinema again ive not been there

ive managed to get hold of muammer, i think his emails must have been going to her junk mail as hes replied to me quickly too, hopefully ill go and visit him easter week
