Lovely lovely place. Turkish people are very kind and generous. Food is fantastic. The tandem paragliding on the beach front (tickets sold in many shops on the waterfront) is fab but not for children below the age of 12-13. I did the mistake of getting my 8 year old to do it and he did not enjoy the experience and furthermore it was about 2 hrs before he came off the mountain as they had to wait for the correct wind speed as he was a child and could not run with the instructor and add to the running speed. At �40 a go it is not cheap. A word of caution...most shops selling excursions advertise free places and deals on the front. They do not exist. Its just a stunt to get you into the shop. The prices are the same in almost all the shops for these excursions. Also they will persuade you to buy many excursions but no refunds in case one of your group drops out. So buy the day before. The Saklikent (trout farm) trip is a must. Pure bliss that place was.
