Side Star Park Hotel

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 ...

... werden. Kinder sind einfach klasse, überall. Draußen scheint schon wieder die Sonne und lädt zur Besteigung der eindrucksvollen Burg der Seldschuken auf dem steilen Felshügel am Meer ein, der die Stadt in zwei Hälften teilt. Den ganzen Mittag klettern wir über Zinnen und Wehrgänge und genießen die tolle Aussicht über die Stadtlandschaft mit Ihren Flachdächern auf denen die ...

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.

... with their family. The husband, who was a very strong man gave me a big bear hug, kissed me on both cheeks, called me his brother and said through the translator-'you will always be welcomed in our home.' The sites we have seen today have been special, swimming in the Mediterranean Sea was so exhilarating (and Judith İ am bringing home some rocks from that sea), but meeting my new Turkish friends was the real highlight of the day. Tomorrow to Urfa.

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...

Was up early this morning. Had breakfast, got on a bus, and rode for an hour from Antalya to Manavgat, to see the Manavgat Waterfalls, on the Manavgat River. (Manavgat Manavgat Manavgat...) They're not really anything huge; they're photogenic but not terribly interesting. They have, however, been developed as a tourist attraction, with a restaurant and ice cream stands and tons of little shops selling ...

... open by the river. Ants and I chose the under the stars option and it was another relaxing evening playing with the puppies(tree house owners 4 fluffy wee things) and a couple of quiets after a scramble up the gorge. Yesterday was a drive day with only a short stop for lunch and a shop in Kos. We in Olympos now some more ruins and a relaxing day at the beach. Gotta fly so more latter Cy and Ants

Hi everyone - thýs blog wıll turn out funny as we're on a Turkýsh keyboard. We arrived in Istanbul 28th Aprýl to spend a few days checking out the sites before heading off on our middle east tour. We stayed in the backpacker district in Sultanahmet which is pretty geared up for kiwis and aussies. The locals probably know more maori than the kiwis. Dýd a boat tour down the ...

... coast, and after a bit of a search I got sorted. But mainly it was just a case of strolling and rolling and just enjoying being in a vibrant city that was v easy on the eye. Id said prevýous that Trabazon was vibrant but Antalya takes the No1 spot. Lots of pedestrian streets, lots of shops, plazas & cafes and of course the harbour to take ur breath away. Didnt actually buy anything either but its nice to have the option as opposed to some "unspoilt" village ...

... entrance to a temple 10 metres high, complete with carvings, that is still in tact. It is all brilliantly interesting however, even though it is hot and sweaty work. Hence what better way to finish up than swimming and some damn hard at-it 'Keyif'ing. I am really appreciating Ayse's company, and also that her pronounciation of my name ("Huhdriun") makes me sound far more sophisticated than I actually am. For a tiny tiny tiny person, she is full of adventure and is willing to jump ...
