Icmeler - Worth a Few Days Visit?

[McGroogle]

Me and the family are coming over to Calis in July.

We always break our stay up by visiting lot's of places and staying over if necessary. It's all part of the fun.

Have looked at Icmeler a for few years now and fancy 2/ 3 nights there. I know it's commercialised much more than Calis/ Fethiye but not as bad as Marmaris from what I have read. Marmaris does not interest me one bit.

So if people have been to Icmeler - we would welcome any comments?

We visited on a couple of occasions in the middle of our Calis hols, the first time for 1 night and we stayed in Marmaris. The next year we went to Icmeler for 2 nights and the year after we did a twin centre and had our first week in Icmeler before moving on to Calis. We really liked the place. It much bigger and yes it is more commericalised- Marmaris is like a mad house! However Icmeler is very pretty, the beach is nice although the sunbeds are packed on it, there is plenty of nightlife too.
Give it a go- its not an arduous journey and you see some lovely scenary on the way. Its even better if Mr Laffa's driving! We had brill times on each occasion and loads of 'laffs'! Unfortunately on our last night there my jewellry was stolen from the hotel- but that couldve happened anywhere!:-\

hi, we had a holiday in marmaris but travelled every day to icmeler as the beach and surrounding area was a lot better and visiter friendly well worth a visit

we go to Icmeler for a week   every October travelling from Fethiye. We love it (not as much as Fethiye) but the nightlife and restaurants are better there. There is Turunc next door which is well worth a visit on the water taxi. Icmeler market is brilliant. Icmeler itself is very pretty.

Same comments as my missus Cavfan re Icmeler. With regards to Turunc, i remember when we were staying in Icmeler, we had a great day out there with Mr and Mrs Laffa. I 'll never forget sitting waist high in the sea on white plastic chairs whilst Cavfan and Laffa 'gegged in ' to everyones conversations around us!

Hi there, just reading up on this thread, same comments as Jukey and Cavfan, but cant add much to it as im on a mad pc in Majorca, and only used to me old bakelite. catch up tomorrow.this is doin me head in.

There are some posh 5* hotels there, if you like that kind of thing therefore offers a bit of a contrast to Calis. Pretty resort with quite a bit of character.

How far is Icmeler from Calis then travelling by car?
