Supposed to be travelling to airport tomorrow morning with Yesil Dalyan. Rang to confirm time to be told they are not doing transfers any more.
-
There are rumours going around the forums that they have financial difficulties.
-
I booked my transfers through Travel Republic for next week, and this is the company they originally booked me with. I have had an email this week with a change of transfer company, no explanation, just a new transfer voucher.

That sounds promising, at least you are not being left in the lurch.

Our transfer was arranged with Yesil Dalyan, which was absolutely fine arriving at Dalaman, although we were told to wait over by the side and it was only when we got a bit fed up of waiting they seemed to remember we were there and we were taken over to the vehicle. Unfortunately, returning back to Dalaman from our hotel, when we confirmed it with them a few days prior we were told our pick up would be 9.20am for a 13.45 flight ! We said this was too early as the check in desk didn't open until 11.45 (Dalaman is hardly a comfortable airport to sit around for nearly 4 hours) and they said 10.00. Still too early but we agreed. On the day they turned up at 9.10 am - we explained they should be picking us up at 10.00 so the driver went away. We got to reception just before 10.00 and waited until 10.15 - phoned only to be told we didn't take the transfer that came at 9.10 so they would not send another one and we should make our own way to the airport. Lovely start to our return home ! We got a taxi which cost £30 which we felt was quite reasonable but now we need to try to reclaim that back.

I have just spoken to a Turkish friend in Calis and he has confirmed that Yesil Dalyan are 'in trouble'.
This person is not prone to gossip so I would believe what he says. It might be wise to book transfers
etc. with an alternative company. I may also add that another friend who reps for Yesil Dalyan 'thinks'
her job is safe for 2013. We just have to watch and wait.

I spoke to my neighbour the other day who works for Yesil Dalyan and she said that they were stopping transfers and are currently chasing the companies that they supply transfers to as they owe them money. She said they will be concentrating on the hotel part of the company.
Seems like something is going on, will have to wait and see.

Yesil have stopped doing shuttle transfers, story I got from one of their staff is that they had not recieved payments for existing bookings - most of which were through travel republic (and their many cloned web transfer names) these transfers are now being handled by United blue which is a Marmaris based company.
Yesil are still doing hotel transfers and there other tourist business, rumours of their troubles are partly true but appears to be caused by the cash flow problems caused by the lack of payment from others.
