Suggestions for few days away

[sunlover]

We have booked our flights for next years holiday to Calis, we have 24 days here, and have been staying in Calis for 11 years now, we quite like the idea of seeing a bit more of Turkey now, so far we have booked first 3 days in Calis, and Last 10 days in Calis, with 2 days at Kayakouy just before last 10 days, this leaves us with 10 nights to go other places in between, firstly we will be doung this all by local buses/coaches, we have stayed in Dalyan so not looking at going there, we have had suggested, Olympus, Kekova, Kalkan.

We are now open to any suggestions of places that we could reach for a couple of nights in each, any any accomodation that people recommend would be great, then we can plan our trip.

I look forward to hearing your replies. Carole/ Dave

Morning Sunlover, I highly recommend Cappadocia and it's main town Göreme if you don't mind the travelling. You would certainly need an overnight stay. Amazing place with breathtaking views.  Antalya old town very nice only few hours by bus.

Akyaka beach is a lovely little area near Gokova.. You can visit Sarigerme and Koyeciz from there and eat in a treetop  at Akkaya gardens on the way back. There is a good cheap all inc. at Sarigerme as well..

If you are going here I can recommend lovely apart-otel - not increased its prices in 10 years!

Also Colwyn if you have details of this apart hotel you recommend that would be fery helpfull

Okaliptus can be found here: http://www.tomsanokaliptus.com/en/. It sits under the mountain (Sakar Tepe) overlooking the conservation plain (Akyaka is environmentally-conscious) and ten minutes walk from the beach. Akyaka is also Turkey's second cittaslow (towns valuing a slow way of life) so prepare to change down a couple of gears. You'll find prices for food and drink are aimed at at Turkish tourists (90%+ of visitors are Turkish) so compared with Calis I think Efes is dear and meals are cheap. You don't say when you are going but I looked up June prices and found that the prices for us haven't gone up but there is a small rise shown on the website. If you are interested I can PM you with more info ("things to do"} nearer your visit - just remind me sometime next year.

Thanks Colwyn, looks a great place and very reasonable prices.

If we decide to head that way i will message you nearer the time, we are looking at going end of May next year, but certainly looks promising place.

 Can recommend Akyaka. Had some great meals along the river watching the otters playing in the evenings. Very Turkish, A few English expats and a very easy place to lose track of time.

Very lucky. I've never seen them. Eels and terrapins yes; but not otters.
