Couldn't disagree more with the sweeping generalisations and highly partial views being expressed here - and LOL even by people who have never tried Hisaranu:D. There are good and there are bad things to be said about the English Village, but certainly it is not all bad.
There are some of the best restaurants in the Fethiye area, serving great Turkish, Indian, Chinese, Carribean and yes British food. Scunner you'll have to remind me where your favourite curry house is located in the Fethiye area??[
The bars are not so very different from most of those in Calis or any other Turkish town trying to provide what the visitors like. All trying to pull in the paying punters by a variety of means including loud music. I suppose the big difference is that there are more bars in H than C!!
There are the many fairground type attractions, now I don't want to avail myself of these instruments of torture, but I know that many people, Brits, Turks and others who do. SO H does a great job of giving people what they want. Shopping, I am reliably informed, isn't too bad either.
As to business owners tucking up visitors in Hisaranu, whilst not welcoming it in any shape or form, we all know this goes on at all the 'resorts', including Calis, and from my own experience particularly in Olu Deniz. Blimey CBF is full of those sorts of justified complaints!
I have heard these sniffy types of remarks before expressed about Blackpool, Benidorm or even Brighton, often from people living close by. You know those people living in Hove or Calis actually!! You may not want to spend your whole holiday in H, but it is at least worth a visit for a night or two, for a different - not a bad - experience. Viv la difference ... as they say
