We're going to Ovacik in September, and I've been looking at reviews of the area.
I've got a feeling I aint going to like Hisaranu, as it seems a bit "Blackpoolish" and too bustling for my liking.
I prefer a scenic, quiet resort, I must admit.

I've spent some time in the resort review section, and of all of them, I like the sound of Tarunc.
There's also a nice apartment advertised in the private rentals section.
I'm thinking about looking into it for next year.
I'll check out the prices in Turkey first,and compare them to Kefalonia in Greece, as we love it there too.
We'll see!!

Turunc is lovely, we rented a private apartment there a couple of years ago.

Hi Pandy 1956
We have been to Hisonaru 3 or 4 times and it is not like Blackpool, yes it has a good selection of bars etc. but there is plenty of places to visit locally by dolmus, ie Oludeniz,Kayakoy ghost village etc. plus there is a lot of places to walk around Ovacik which is a good 20-30 min walk from Hionaru.
ps where are you staying in Ovacik?

Perdikia hills apartments.

I've heard all sorts of reviews about Hisaronu. Some love it, some hate it
I suppose we'll just have to see when we get there.
We always make the most of wherever we go, and I'm still really
looking forward to my hols.
I think Ovacik is far enough from the hustle and bustle for it to bother us too much,
we can hit the town, and go back to the peace of Ovacik, sounds good :tup

Hi pandy1956
I have not stayed at the Perdika Hills but walked past them in May this year, they look very nice, they are about 1 1/2 - 2 miles away from Hisonaru.You will be away from any noise the only drawback is the apartments are set at the back of the resort and it is up a very steep hill ( the only reason i did not go in and have a walk round )

Regards

Alan :cheers :sun2

Thanks Alan. Not worried about the hill though, If you saw where I live, you would know why.
(They call the hill in our village "heart attack hill. Have you ever seen the 'Hovis' advert.
To most people it's probably a problem, but we're quite looking forward to a fortnight on "the flat" :rofl

Hi Pandy1956
It is only going up the hill that is the hard part, you can always get a taxi back from town they are quite cheap and you can even haggle with them over the fare, we got a taxi back to the Greenland which is just up the road from where you are going and he wanted 15 lira i said 10,he said no so i walked away and he called us back and said 10 lira was ok. :tup

Enjoy your holiday

Alan :sun2 :cheers

Booked yesterday for Club Julian, next June 27th from Glasgow. With 2 adults and 1 child it worked out cheaper for us to go half board than it would have been for self catering so even if we only eat in the hotel a couple of nights we are still quids in.
