Efsane Motel 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 ...

... sseln wie Pilze sprießen. Hell leuchtet der Schnee von den umliegenden Bergen, hell leuchten auch die langen Strände Im Norden und im Süden, auf denen hoffnungsfroh erste Strandliegen aufgereiht werden. Grünblau leuchtet weit unten das Meer. Am Nachmittag fahren wir weiter ins 50 km entfernte Side. Das Museum in den ehemaligen Thermen bietet zwei Säle mit schönen römischen Statuen, G ...

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...

... and postcards and other junk. I was amused to see low-end bellydance outfits, but no, I didn't buy any of them. After that stop, went further up the river valley. Lots of nice scenery, cool mountains and stuff. Also, bits and pieces here and there of the old Roman aqueducts that used to carry water from the mountains down to the city of Side on the coast. That was one of my favorite parts of the ...

... 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

... Obvıously not much left but pretty cool seeıng ıt was 2500BC. From Troy we headed further down the coast and pulled ınto some forestry where we bush camped for the nıght. Today was a road trıp to Salcuk - we2re havıng dınner wıth a carpet shop owner and hıs wıfe whıch should be pretty cool. We're stayıng ı ...

... 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.

... to Atilla's. The guys at Atilla's told me I had to hurry for my bus so I rushed for a shower and said goodbye to Johanna (Renato wasn't around) and they gave me a lift to town where I proceeded to wait 40 min for my bus. Uhh, what was the rush for? I had some good times at Atilla's - it really was a nice getaway from the city and a cool place to chillout. Johanna is cute and great to spend time with, Sue and the kids were fun and Renato was one of the most ...
