My apartment is 100 yards away. the dolphins are gone. The place is closed, no-one on the gate to take money. End of chapter., Beginning of rehab.

It is closed and the dolphins are not there. Anyone paying 250 TL to swim with them is being conned, and they probably deserve it []

then is there another one around that they are talking about ?
i have also seen on the fethiye chanel that there are 2 dolphins people are swimmimg with.. where is that...? have you heard?
im keeping people posted about it over here... and a company next to my bar is still selling tickets to see them.. please keep me posted... i am trying to keep up and passing on the word.
thanks ..have a good one !!

there were couple of 'morons'on my facebook they live in Marmaris
and went swimming with a couple of dolphins somewhere on the datca
peninsular when I challenged her over going what the hell was she
playing at she came back at me with " oh they are very happy and
they are kept in a sea pen" I said who told you they were happy the
fat russian that took your money... I then deleted her! but I think
they are somewhere near Hisaronu (the other one)

There are at least three other 'swim with dolphin' attrractions on the south coast, out towards Alanya, we saw them on our recent road trip, they looked more 'professional' than the one at Hisaronu, not that I am condoning them. The one at Kas is closed, i believe.

Where is the the temporary home for the dolphins[?]

I think Mr Mcturk needs to be given a wide berth in future.

Great to see the dolphins back in the sea

I was wondering that Brian, in fact i read somewhere they were back in the sea, or did that mean in the temporary pen in the sea......only curious, and so so happy for those lovely lovely creatures...

I'm sure I read somewhere they were moving them to an area called Gokova, which is Bodrum way.  Cannot find the article now...did I dream it??  Anyway the area looks stunning.  Just delighted they are out of that hell-hole at last!
