Marmaris - Turkey

[milly143]

Has anyone been here? What's it like?

Have a look at Calis, on the med coast of Turkey. I know people who have been twice and it is quiter than the big resorts but enough going on to keep you entertained from what I can remember.

A little quickie?? You're really nice and everything Pinki but just not my type.

July isn't that far away! I need that long to save spending money.

Might have a look on last minute once the boss has buggered off.

Thanks Dris, will check out Ice Lolly too. The Greek islands would be nice, for some reason I just had it in my head that Greece would be pricey.

Will have a look there too JD. It's so hard trying to decide where to go when you have never been before. It's good to have the likes of all of you to say don't go to that dump.

As Dris said, I have been to Corfu and Kos with GF's and its been chilled out with stuff to do at night if you want or just a quiet evening if you prefer (obviously depends on resort as Kavos, Corfu in proper nuts)

No, its ok. I do prefer brunettes but I like the fringe.

I need to be careful with what I book. We don't want 18/30's but we're not quite at the stage where we might start thinking Saga offer some nice deals yet. :o)

[jd_1984]

June - August will be busy everywhere. The Saga crowd tend to holiday at the fringes of the season Mar - Apr / Sep - Oct.

Pinki - you have just sold it to me!

[milly143]

Bleeugghhh. Yeah, we are a bit passed the whole, sleep until 2pm, eat the nearest mcd's for breakfast, spend the rest of the day getting plasted, spend the rest of the night vomming and trying to remember where your hotel is.

I did do 18/30's when I was 17 and it was fun then but once was enough. Plus the bf can be a bit of a snob (unjustified) so I don't think a return to my 17 year old way would be a great thing for our relationship. We had a few days in Barcelona a couple of years ago and it was perfect. If we could just extend that to a week and half the cost we'd be happy days.

Husband and I went a couple of years ago (both late 30's then, but love a good time) and paid £200 for a week each s/c and thought it was a bargain. So it depends on what the price is - we had a moped for a day or two, and mainly lay round the pool (sun is sun wherever you are) but I do recall the beach was a thin strip of sand, very busy and the locals were very pushy - but we just ignore that. We found a few good restaurants but there a lot of your local cafe type places too.
