Interestingly Ölüdeniz not that hot and humidity normal  (so strongly recommended) but stay away from Antalya -Alanya region can be fatal if stayed without cooling apparats..

Thanks Albits :y

Really "hot" word cant describe it..

In Oludeniz I can stay under the sun 2-3 hours without any problem..

But in Alanya half an hour is enough to make me  :P


ps : in Oludeniz there are many British people coming with tours ..

You will feel like you are in UK..

I remember going to a place called the pummakale mountain (?),natural hot springs and a lot of healthy minerals in the mud on the river bed.we then went to a turkish carpet factory and watched the carpets being made,which was fascinating. The coach was held up from leaving for a long time as one of the coach party fell in love with a large carpet and paid 17,000 pounds for it on the spot and had to arrange to have it shipped back to England.
on the way back we stopped at the camp of some gypsy type people who were very welcoming. they gave everyone tea (like hot fruit juice) and food and refused to take any payment for it.
A very enjoyable experience.

17000 £  :o

Problem is tourists buy things without some serious search..

Even in fish restaurants I see abnormal prices.. :(

Good and bad people is everywhere ..Sorry to hear that..

he was a wealthy asian businessman,and he was certain that it was a good long term investment.
I believe that genuine/good quality Turkish carpets are expensive /sought after items in many countries. :y

If you visit the U.K. in the future Cem, you should put a couple of carpets in your suitcase, would probably pay for the holiday. :y ;D

Cem, you are so lucky to have that almost on your doorstep - we have tacky seaside towns here in the UK. If you catch it on a nice day, we do have nice beaches that aren't too touristy, but our weather is too variable.


Nice shorts by the way :P
