Hisaronu is Total Rubbish

You will struggle to find one open I`m afraid....  all closed down now,Chinese open week ends, and one or two other restaurants and a few bars open weekly but Hisaronu is like a ghost town now til next May like most turkish coastal resorts.
For many, us included.. from now til May can be an enjoyable experience out there..For us though we prefer the xmas period with family in the UK  and always will... but we cant wait for our week out there over the new years eve period  !!:D

Is this so?

I was in a coastal resort rather smaller than Hisaronu all through October and November last year and even at the end of my stay I only saw one of the many restaurants closed. I also visited Marmaris a couple of times and that certainly wasn't closed. I very much doubt that Bodrum was. Calis and Fethiye seem (from CBF) to have plenty of winter options. Perhaps someone can speak for Kalkan and Kas?

Hisaronu may close down in "off season" but I think it does a great disservice to people in the tourist industry in other resorts in Turkey to suggest that they are ghost towns for six months of the year.

Ive been reading this thread as it goes along, I know Scunner started this up as a bit of fun and a wind up (cheeky scunner) but I still feel like adding my bit ;-) Have been staying in H for years, and each year I see something different in surrounding areas when I go out for walks etc etc, also each year I notice that H is not my scene much anymore, I do love the shops! and like the restuarants, and some of the bars, and me and the fella are quite happy sitting in one of the garden bars having a few drinks in the evening, but i cant quite keep up anymore, and im only 30  :) I do like H, and I do love Olu, but I had a bad experience in Olu this year, and it really scared me, long story but a Jewellery shop owner broke my real pandora bracelet, started screaming at me it was a fake (it was brought as my 30th birthday present this year, and is not a fake) I demanded he pay for it (as it would be out of the guarantee time frain) then he just got nasty and the owner and other shop owners started to get involed, in the end he paid me, (he checked the pandora website for price) and I was happy, but then he chased after me and grabbed me and pulled me back, the fella then pushed him away, we couldnt understand why, when he paid me he then came after me,  we walked away but they started following us, in the end we managed to get back to H (long story cut short) In all the 11 years ive been going to that area ive never experienced any trouble or anything like it. But as i was saying im trying not to worry about going next year, but I am worrying, even about staying in H, silly perhaps, but thats just me. But the long and the short of it is, I like H, and Olu and surrounding areas, but have promised myself to see Calis more next year. Everyone has their preferences  :) x

A very unfortunate experience for you I agree, but in fairness, that experience could have happened anywhere in Turkey or indeed anywhere, and is no reflection on Hisaronu.
Colwyn...  Kas  and Kalkan I believe are ghost towns also.
When I use the term `ghost town` of course I am referring to the shops and bars... there are of course plenty of social activities going on with the ex pats of H and Ovacik throughout winter...and  I dont mean propping up the bars... although like Calis,  that seems a popular pastime for many :-(
