I must admit 'seven nights' half board at Beyaz Yunus Olu Deniz from £1,050pp' did make my eyes water....  especially when it's FROM !!!

I think those of us who have been owners for some time have lost track of the cost of package holidays, mind you at that cost I would rather go on a cruise

They hike the prices up at the Beyaz Yunus / White Dolphin based on the view. However, you can stand right next to it and realise that the view isn't anything special and almost all hotels in Oludeniz have very well tended gardens filled with butterflies and honey bees in the summer.

and the passing tractors with their trailers of pomegranates are part of another world.

A world nowhere near Kaya as nobody in the valley grows pomegranates on that scale.

the valley is just 9km from the sea.

Less than 2 kms from Coldwater Bay actually.

stables and cowsheds, where small groups of cows or oxen stand around sleepily in dry straw. As I motored past a criss-cross of tobacco fields,

We've never seen oxen in the valley and the only tobacco grown is some very well hidden patches of the wacky variety.
