I have to confess that before my first visit I thought Turkey was far more third world- ish,
and the drive over the mountains (pre tunnel ) from Dalaman with a kami kazi transfer driver
in the early hours passing mile after mile of half finished properties and some squalor made
me think I had been right.But,within a year I had bought and furnished my place in the sun.
However I have never once considered buying the Daily Mail.       :)  :)

Amazing how it was the front page story on the London Evening Standard last night, when other murders etc in the UK get hardly a mention. Lazy journalists who know they only have to present one side of the story with no comeback from the other party!

Not British of course but total international arrivals do exceed 2 million.

As for the people who thought educated enough to make public comment at the Daily Mail website, I think they must picture Turkey in their mind as something like Afghanistan or Iraq. At times like that it is best to keep your thoughts to yourself and not confirm your ignorance!

BBC Radio 5 about 06.15 reporter said "Fethiye which gets 2 million visitors a year" even they are cannot get the content right!!

Does anyone know why the Daily Mail has such a grudge against Turkey?

The Daily Mail has a grudge against everyone it seems.  Awfully sad for the family, especially the son.

Read the Mirror today. They said she lived in a luxury villa.  It looked like a normal villa to me.  Also said the gardener had previously been married to an English woman who went back to England.

Evening standard tonight says a dalyan council worker said the gardener had been seeing the victim and flew into a jealous rage when he saw her with another man. For the balance they also quote 1 local who says the gardener had pocketed money for other tradesmen working on the villa, not sure how reasonable the quotes were!

Forgive me Jacqui but whether or not it was a luxury or "normal" villa seems to be totally irrelevent to me >:(.
