Paloma Perissia Side

I have just got back from spending two weeks at this hotel, and me and my girlfriend had an amazing time! The money we paid for this holiday was far from expensive, and after reading the reviews i was very worried about going. But when we got to the hotel it was clean and the staff were very friendly. Our two weeks at this hotel were so good, the pool is constantly cleaned, the drinks are very good and the staff are very ...

... Athleten und Grazien. Ein paar tolle Stücke sind dabei, eine dynamische Nike, ein prachtvoller Hermes-Kopf, ein paar sexy Jünglinge. Im Hof stehen Sarkophage und andere Fundstücke aus der umliegenden, heute fast zur Hälfte überbauten alten Hafenstadt. Ein langer Spaziergang durch die Trümmerfelder und die ganz mit Läden und Restaurants gesäumten Strassen am Hafen schließen den Tag ab.

What a wonderful little peninsula on the Mediterranean. This town has it all. Lots of restaurants, bars, and shops, but also beaches and lots of ruins. Our room at the Hotel Lale Park was a little small, but we had a great time here.

... place. We ate there on an outsıde floating dining room. Fresh trout from the trout farm located there. We started with some wonderful bread that was flat, air filled and shaped like a large elongated frisbee. I would tear off a piece, fill it with butter and goat cheese and consume it. I think I ate an entire loaf myself. After lunch we went to the beach. There we swam in the Mediterranean Sea. An amazing experience. In the distance were ...

Well first time at Club Med.. great location; fab room, very luxurious... the whole happy campers atmosphere though.... not really me... but i recommend the med coast of turkey... 300 days of sun per year... and you can windsurf; sail; go horse riding in the mountains; waterski; parasail,etc...

... Roman ruins and an equally large amount of touristy shops and restaurants. I didn't care much for the commercialism (although the bellydance outfits were a little bit better quality) but the ruins were awesome, and the only part I saw that charged admission (the Roman Theater) was 5 Turkish Lira. That's less than 4 dollars/3 Euros/2 Pounds. Compare that with 11 Euros a head to get into the ruins in Rome!

... we kicked back in a local carpetshop where lunch was provided and we were treated to an insightfull carpet demonstration (never knew there was so much to it) it was a nice atmosphere full bellies free wine and what do you know we are now the proud owners of a huge turkish handmade silk carpet!(So much for our budget) Later that arvo we went to the temple of st. john and to one of the 7 ...

Also goıng to the ruıns of Ephesus so wıll need a beer or 5 after all that sıght seeıng.. That's ıt folks Cy and Ants

... I should be ticking things off some imaginary list that I compile which invariably involve hiking or scrambling (definetely an expenditure of effort is required) to see some off the beaten track sight or ruin. But Ill console myself by saying that this sort of a day is necessary to act as a buffer zone every now and again - and by going to visit Termessos - which is some ancient ruins of the beaten track tommorow! Ok so another rest day for TIPO. Cheers Wadirunner.

Yo. Well just a quick entry today. This morning I explored the ruins of Side - its colonnaded st, slave market, theatre (capacity 15000), agora & temples and saw my first Turkish beach too. Then it was time to drive to a nearby waterfall which was v nice but very, very touristy - with loads of cheap souvenir stalls gaudying up the place. Ýf Cappadocia was full of Frenchies then so far ...
